The government unveiled the 2012 federal budget today, which included measures such as cutting $115-million in funding to the CBC over the next three years. Suffice to say, some CBC commentors are quite upset…
Y’know, there are two kinds of people in this world: those with balanced viewpoints, and those who get 95 per cent of their news from one network. The only time CBC accounts for 90 per cent of my TV viewing is during the Stanley Cup finals!

Another budgetary measure that has caused quite a stir is the proposal to raise OAS eligibility from 65 to 67 starting in 2023. This doesn’t affect me, since my financial advisor is Pete Townsend, but I can see how some not-so-old folks are none too happy. Could this be the straw that breaks the Conservative majority’s back? Perhaps, but only if the Liberals come up with an outstanding new leader (as per this National Post commentor):
Dunno about you, but I’d vote for Schwinn Fastback over Bob Rae…
