D for disingenuous

Before anybody gives undue credit to Brad Wall for speaking out against the Harper/Ignatieff budget, it's worth keeping in mind the timeline involved.

When there was any danger that the budget might be defeated, Wall didn't have anything negative to say - and indeed he was presumably waiting on standby to again bash the idea of a coalition if given the opportunity. And it was only once his commanding officer was sure to stay in power that Wall decided to mention a few of the more glaring problems with the budget.

So the ultimate lesson to be taken from Wall's actions is that he'll only pretend to stand up for Saskatchewan when he's sure it doesn't count for anything. Which should serve only to show the continued similarity in insincerity between him and his federal role model.
