And thus, Andrew Scheer’s equally sudden acknowledgment that, indeed, budget deficits can be left to balance themselves — or not, as the case may be. The hard work, in a growing economy, is not balancing the budget. The hard work is preventing it from balancing. The other is to establish himself as a prime minister in waiting and his party as a credible alternative to the governing Liberals. At a time when conservative leaders elsewhere, responding to public fears, are demanding the gates be closed, it should be cause for some satisfaction that the leader of the main Canadian conservative party should make such an avowedly pro-immigration speech.
