My thoughts of the BC Budget announced today mirror those of NBCDipper.

My overall first impression: it seems as this budget is the fulfillment of the idea that one doesn’t waste a crisis in order to make changes. This is a budget that is going to hurt the middle class of BC by slapping on new taxes for them, while rewarding those that tend to vote BC Liberal by reducing taxes for them. Considering that cuts are supposedly supposed to be made, what these cuts are actually going to be is very unspecific, making me rather nervous as to the future.

Although, coming from Alberta, I’m not as annoyed at the broken balanced budget law, having seen ours torn to shreds without a second of hesitation.
