this article has definite pro-conservative views. i'm not sure myself what to do with it though. Closetosomethingreal 14:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's because it was a government press release... ;-) I've removed the text that was most blatantly cut-and-paste (the rest is still suspect but I didn't find an original source for it) and the key facts from it it should probably be re-written from a neutral point of view, most of the fluff and self-back-patting can be left out. --Maelwys 15:30, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I took out most of the extra because that was all far from neutral and I left the key points. I think this makes the article very close to NPOV, if not about at the Wikipedia standard in that regard. BTerran 16:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know (as a Nova Scotian) we're fairly ticked off with our cut, and I've added references to our point of view from the local paper, bit do you think we should prep some sort of plan to deal with POVs? Logical2u_{Review me!} 20:32, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article now has an anti-government bias. If there is to be a section in the article for "opposition", there also needs to be a section for "support". Also the government's rebuttal of the opposition should be included (for example in response to the Toronto's complaint about city funding, the government pointed out that that is an area of provincial responsibility). Like wise any criticism of those supporting the budget should be included. This article needs a lot of work. Kilrogg 21:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
