As Rick would say, the federal Conservatives don't know if they're coming or going! Here's the latest now:
Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is discussing an insurance policy with Nova Scotia to ensure the province does not lose revenue once it decides how it will deal with Ottawa's new budget and altered equalization formula.Flaherty had said there would be no side deals for any province as Ottawa tries to settle a dispute with Nova Scotia and Newfoundland over offshore energy revenues.But the minister now says his officials are working on a way to ensure Nova Scotia ``will be no worse off'' once the province decides whether to stick with the existing offshore agreement known as the Atlantic Accord or opt into a new, richer equalization deal.
Why would there have to be an insurance policy? Harper says the Accord is completely intact and the we should sue him over it. What the hell?
