| Description | As a spring election looks more and more likely, some Liberals are noticing their campaign seems to be borrowing from the 1993 playbook that saw Jean Chrétien form his first majority government.
Then it was scrap the GST and kill the helicopter deal; now it’s scrap the jet fighter deal and reverse the corporate tax cuts.
In fact, Michael Ignatieff and his Liberals have indicated they are planning a campaign on many of the economic issues affecting the country’s middle-class families –baby boomers who are not only concerned about college and university for their kids but home care for aging parents and how to afford their own retirement.
They will contrast this with Stephen Harper’s spending priorities: billions of dollars on 65 new fighter jets, prison expansion and tax cuts for big corporations. |
