In Harper World - a Big Surplus means Cut, Cut, Cut!
The CPC have found themselves with a $13.2 billion surplus. So what do they do?
Why, cut programs of course.
Some of the programs may be good cuts, but how do you justify cutting the following:
- $78.8 million: Elimination of program that gave GST rebates to tourists
Isn't that a tax hike? The CPC is once again raising taxes.
- $13.9 million: Cancellation of National Defence High-Frequency Surface Wave Radar Project
I thought the CPC was all about military spending?
- $4.6 million: Cuts to museum assistance
Shame on you. Philistines.
- $4.6 million: Elimination of the RCMP drug-impaired-driving program's training budget
Tough on Law-and-Order my ass.

"$4.6 million: Cuts to museum assistance"
Seriously? That is maybe the most appauling thing a government could cut. Most of those museums that are getting federal assistance are small rural museums that preseve our heritage. It's not like the ROM is getting funding from the Feds.
But then again, to robots like Harper and Co. culture and history only matter as much as it reminds us of AdScam.
