Huh? If the government planned on having a surplus, why is having a surplus a sign of government mismanagement?
The claim was that the Canadian Federal Government had too large of a debt load. So the plan was made to reduce it to next-to-nothing. (Harper's position, that the goal should be no net debt, is a good one actually -- Canada should borrow Canadian dollars to hold non-Canadian debt. This gives Canada a currency reserve, and provides capital in Canada a source of "risk-free" debt.)
I'm all for Quebecious being a nation in Canada if I can be one too!
