Danny Williams' Never-ending Greed
When the federal budget came out in March, Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams called it a "betrayal" of the province. It was a great example of a fine Conservative Premier turned panhandling socialist. He is now waging a personal War on Harper, much to the glee of the media.
If Newfoundland is strapped for cash, they've got an interesting way of showing it (h/t Bound By Gravity).
Danny Williams has some explaining to do. Why does he think that the rest of Canada should fund tax cuts to keep him in power? Here in Manitoba we live in one of the highest taxed provinces in the country, and this Newfie is pandering for more of our money. Shameless.

Premier Danny Williams, in a bid to build on his already commanding majority government, is offering Newfoundlanders the largest personal income tax cut in the province's history in the run-up to a provincial election.
Drawing from a $261-million budget surplus, Williams also slashed user fees Thursday while increasing spending on schools, the health-care system and infrastructure.
The value of the income tax cut was pegged at $155 million.

NL has the highest unemployment rate, the lowest average income, Highest debt by twice than any other province. 12 Billion 2300 for every man woman and child.
NL'ians contribute three times more per capita to the GDP of this country than any other canadian and that doesn't even take into account the losses from the Upper Churchill and interprovincial tranfers.
Besides Harpocrite made this promise on 6 different occassions to Three different premiers in writing through two different elections.
