I don't agree with running our country into more debt, as I'll be one of the many in the future who will have to pay for it, but you can't completely blame the Conservatives. Well, I guess you can. This isn't a budget, it's a bold slap in the face to all the western voters who didn't want the liberals in government. I'm sorry, but the only thing this budget is going to do is keep Harper from being ousted this month. Iggy can't vote against this. There's no way the Liberals can go into an unwanted election with Harper able to say that the liberals voted against this, and that, and this other thing. The budget is so wide spread it's a got morsels for everyone.
I like tax cuts. I'm a winnipegger, I like anything that puts money in my pocket. Could have given us a little more, but something is better than nothing. I don't quite get the reasoning behind the renovation incentive. How many people are going to spend a bunch of money on a house who's value is going down? We're in a recession here, who's really going to have the money to do any renovations anyway? Honestly, much else won't affect me. I'm not going to build a new hockey rink in New Brunswick, I'm not an Ontario auto worker who needs to be retrained because I've been tightening the same 4 bolts on a Ford engine at $40/hr for the last 20 years. I'm just an average Winnipeg guy making a decent living, trying to get ahead.
And hey, maybe next time we should vote Liberal, I mean, we have a Liberal government anyway. Time to grow some nuts Harper. The west is tired of carrying the east.

30 Months is Tough?
Are we being serious here people? Are we really calling a 30 month sentence for murder tough?
I know he wasn't charged with murder, being drunk and driving the wrong way down a one-way street and slamming into a tow truck is not murder. Getting drunk and accidently shooting someone is at least manslaughter, in this case he just used a bigger gun!
There is no way that average people are satisfied at all with the way the justice system is treating criminals. If this keeps up, we might as well fire all the police officers in Winnipeg, seems pointless to have the front line doing it's job and everyone else letting them down.
It's time for a shake up people! We need tougher laws and we need them now! Not after more innocents sacrifice their lives to the bleeding heart, criminal coddlers in government.

The "Parking for Expectant Mothers" or "Mothers With Small Children" Rant
Ok, I'm a new father, three months old, greatest thing to ever happen to me.
Here's the problem, the mall. Now there are a certain number of reserved spaces for parents for small children or expectant mothers. The problem, You! Yes, You! The guy (or girl, but especially the guy) who is clearly not pregnant, and has no small children, in fact no children! Park somewhere else. Those spots are there for a reason. You try hauling a car seat, stroller and the works across a rutted frozen parking lot at minus 40 degrees.
Maybe we need some kind of pass, like handicapped parking. You register for it, it expires, you need to prove you have a baby, or are pregnant. Or maybe, just maybe the mall "cops" should do their jobs and start towing some cars!
Either way at the mall (St. Vital Center), there are lines and lines of cars parked in mothers with small children spots, and not a baby seat to be seen. Grow up people! You can walk the extra 40 feet, your 18 year old body can handle it!
