As politicians jousted and journalists' cameras flashed on Parliament Hill and the pathetic spectacle of the "Leader of the Opposition" Stéphane Dion found new cause to embrace his Conservative "opponents," the budget passed last Tuesday by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was anything but spectacular. As usual, it's up to the government to help the Canadian capitalists increase profits, while strengthening the repressive functions of the State apparatus.
