Just when you thought you heard enough of Bill Casey, the fiddling NS premier, and that guy from Saskatchewan, Saint John's Paul Zed decides to offer his thoughts on the frothing equalization stew.
His claim? That Stevie Harper is short-changing NB to the tune of a billion dollars, according to some academic study nobody ever bothered to read (the best kind of academic study, for sure!). Zed has laid this claim, in all its partisan glory, on the front page of the online globe and mail.
Actually, the essay is not that bad (I wonder who wrote it?), and it certainly is a better Saint John contribution to a national debate than anything Elsie Wayne ever said.
The only problem? Too much equalization discussion will surely drive anyone mad. Just ask Danny Williams.
