I’m frustrated at the focus during this election campaign; not that it’s any different than usual.  Most of the message has been what new money each party is willing to offer us.  For example: Key election campaign promises so far from the federal parties.

We’re in an uncertain global economic climate and our government is holding lots of debt, and taking on new debt fast.  I don’t want more debt, which is what any new money promise brings.  I want fiscal responsibility, and remember that the best recent example we have of fiscal responsibility was the Chretien government.  But, the Liberals seem to be promising even more money than the NDP, at least that’s the impression from that article above.
