According to an article in The Canadian Weekly Political Newspaper The Hill Times the Conservatives are standing alone as the only opposition to Bills C-43 and C-48, otherwise known as the Federal Budget.
I find this someone hard to believe, considering the Bloc voted against both bills in the House, perhaps they did some polling in Quebec and found that people actually liked the bill. Not wanting to lose that huge lead they now have they reluctantly got on board? I don't know. I must say I'm not anxious to see C-48, or as the NPD calls it the "Better Balanced Budget" (I think they should call the Better Business Bureau and report whatever marketing company gave them that horrible name -Ed.) go through but it's the price you have to pay when your reduced to a minority parliament. It was far better than the alternative that's for sure, the alternative was an election and a possible shot at Steven Harper destroying Canada, so I'm sure you can see how the former is much more desirable.
However this news just reinforces my belief that the Conservatives are the lone obstructionist in this minority Parliament, hoping to make the Liberals look bad by making it so they can't get anything done. It'll backfire on them though, people will see through it. Imagine if you saw someone get hit by a car and some idiot kept blocking the paramedic trying to get through to save them, who would you blame for the person dying? Exactly.
