UGH!
Guess the sale of those GM shares definitely came at the right time. Placing this surplus into contingency would allow the government to balance the 2015/16 budget now, removing that as an attack for the Liberals and NDP.
Also makes it easier for the NDP to promise a balanced budget, and could reduce the deficit the Liberals are willing to rack up.

Australia's Harper clone of a PM was ousted in an internal party vote. I wish we could do that here!
Nanos last Tuesday had NDP@33%, Liberals@31%, Tories@26%

And really, all the electorate will hear is "surplus". They won't read past that to find out just what it means or its implications or when it applies.

Selling assets, like GM stock for $2.613-billion U.S., would help. What else will the Conservatives sell next?
