Wow. A very reasonable, informed discussion. Who would have thunk it?

Personally I think it faily accurately presented the fiscal dispositions of the three parties. The Tories talk about total costs, the Grits talk about marginal costs and the Dippers refuse to talk about costs. And Yvon gets to complain about the missing EI surplus that Paul Martin spent a decade ago.

Thanks for linking to it. I would never have seen it otherwise.
