Why do we long to be like Americans?!?

Tory spending cuts unfair to poor
Opposition MPs ganged up on the Conservative government yesterday over spending cuts worth $1 billion, charging it had heartlessly targeted the most vulnerable in society. "Never have Canadians seen such mean-spirited cuts when Ottawa is swimming in money," Liberal MP John McCallum declared in the midst of a raucous question period dominated by verbal sparring over the spending cuts at a time when the government has a $13.2-billion budget surplus. Liberal, NDP and Bloc Quebecois MPs called the Tories arrogant and vindictive.
