Granted he could have manned up and called an election but think of the consequences of losing, does anyone really believe we would be better off today? not on your life! Forty yrs of watching the Liberal hyenas has taught me to never underestimate the Liberals ability to spend and waste, they build their base on civil employees we pay for in taxes, they would have stimulated us into new record hiring of civil servants again just like Trudeau did in the 70's recession, I watched the "big red machine" get built on taxpayers backs. Harper has yet to be in a position to bring about fiscal policy change while the opposition control both the senate and the committees,(not to mention the press) Now we have the Senate give him six months then call him out if he does not move. That’s disingenuous, Harper really had no choice under the circumstances and how much of that is still not spent?
