Federal Budget

Interesting that Dion has immediately announced the Liberals will support the budget. Generally that would take a couple of days, anyways.

Good on them. If they're not going to oppose it, better to announce that earlier rather than drag it out for several days, providing endless speculation.

From my quick perusal of the budget itself, it seems reasonable - obviously it wasn't going to be heavy on spending.

From an election standpoint, this presumably means Dion is content to wait until late spring or early fall at the earliest for an election. With the Afghanistan motion and budget passing, it would seem as if everyone is fairly content with the state of affairs at this time.
