Nice tray, but you failed. — Garth I haven't failed anything at all. On the contrary you have demonstrated that you speak with a fork tongue. So it is OK for the Liberals to spread their 80 billion over years and yet when you criticize the Conservative spending you always forget to mention that their spending is spread over years as well. In fact in a previous discussion when I pointed that the government spending was spread over a number of years you dismissed it out of hand. Hum, sounds like an another double standard from the Liberals and yourself once again. Thanks for showing your true colours Garth. <em>This spending is not financed with tax dollars.

Rankings are: 1st Greens $172B, 2nd Libs $45B, 3rd NDP $45B, 4th Bloc $15B, 5th Cons $8B. Ignoring off-the-chart Greens, Liberals have highest environment and R+D totals, NDP best childcare and highest sindustry penalty, and Bloc the best anti-homelessness strategies: http://externalityaccounting.blogspot.com/ I’ve accounted the societally high ROI 3 year expenditures of all 5 parties; positive externalities like environmental capital costing, R+D, daycare, foreign aid, and mental health + affordable housing programmes to fight homelessness.

The Liberals election promises actually add up to 80 billion dollars and not the 70 I stated previously. This $80 billion is just for the first 13 days of the election. That is over $5 billion a day in promises and all this is going to come from the green shift program?. Source is the National Post.
