There isn't much solace to be taken from Stephen Harper's statement that he doesn't think it's worth bothering to try to fix Jim Flaherty's long-term budget deficit. Indeed, can anybody remember as firm a declaration of a political leader's intention to refuse to make any tough decisions indefinitely?
But if one at least wants to look for reason not to take Harper seriously, it could be noted that the last time he spent years insisting he'd never act according to a timeline was on Afghanistan. And he's at least nominally agreed to one since - though the smart money is on that changing before his newfound commitment to red ink.
