Finance Minister Jim Flaherty will slash almost $30 million a year in public funding for federal parties, in a move that would save taxpayers' money but deal a major financial blow to opposition parties, CTV News has learned.
Flaherty will present the measures in his fiscal update at 4 p.m. tomorrow.

Maybe they don't want to deal, or know how to deal, with this recession as it WILL hurt them in the eyes of the electorate as it has always done in the past to any govt. in rough economic times.
Perhaps they want a "coalition" of the opposition for a period of time so that the opposition will take the brunt of all the negativity & then when there is a next election the Cons will come in with a majority.

It's disgusting what they have proposed & is a way of annhilating all opposition if it were to happen.
Sleaze bags, as usual, no matter which way you look at it.

ATM fees Jack----really!!!!!!!
