Junior's pal attacks the feds


"N.S. government attacks Ottawa's arts cuts." This seems to be another installment of Rodney MacDonald looking around the neighbourhood and deciding he better get off his butt and look like he's doing something too. Must be tough being a Premier down in that neck of the woods these days...:)

Another illustration in how the Conservative strategy of buying electoral support across the nation, as they've taken to an art form this summer, is a decidedly short-sighted one. There's no vision at work on the part of the Conservatives. It's just spend what you need where you need to get elected. And cut where you feel the constituency is not worth the spending as it's not likely to get you any seats. MacDonald's little shot fired today, however, shows the grand plan isn't working out as neat and tidily as planned.
