James Laxer: The Liberals and the Road Not Taken
The Harper-Flaherty budget doesn’t do the job. New spending of about $6
billion this year and again next year, will create about 60,000 jobs.
It won’t make a dent in the rising tide of new joblessness that is
forecast to engulf Canadian communities from coast to coast. The layoff
notices are going out every day. The descent of our economy into
deflation is proceeding. Within a few months, the utter inadequacy of
the government’s policy will be evident to millions of Canadians.
