About the tax cuts: The bottom two brackets are getting tax relief.
About the deficit: Running one during an economic downturn is often a good plan. It's running a deficit when things are going well that often isn't. Government spending on infrastructure ensures jobs, whether it creates them or prevents them from disappearing.
I don't have much time at the moment, nor have I looked at the budget at length, but on the surface it looks like one that might make sense. I don't even know what the gripes of the NDP and Bloc are about it yet.
I'll come back when I have time.
