Obama, Harper, and Budget

Rick Mercer Report is one of the few shows I watch, when I remember it’s on. For any unfamiliar, he’s Canada’s Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert.  Mercer has some excellent commentary and does some really interesting reports. With the Conservative Party’s Steve Harper as Prime Minister and Democratic Barack Obama as newly elected President, plus the economy’s state, Mercer has been having a field day. Seriously, Harper needs to go…away. I’m a bit impressed that Obama is already planning a visit to Canada.

While Americans can take a look at how funding was spent and will be spent, Canadians have no clue where their money is going. Funny how some of it is unaccounted for. If people are paying, they have the right to know what their money is being used for.

Anyway, here are a few of Rick Mercer’s rants about Obama, Harper, and the budget.
