The theme seems to be “reduce operating spending, increase capital spending”. We’ll see how that will blow over with the opposition.

Conservatives are requiring electronic votes for travelling MPs as far as I understand, so there’s very few excuses to “accidentally” abstain. However, one has already crossed the floor, and more are to come. If the Liberals don’t get a majority then I’m sure enough NDP are going to abstain for it to pass.
Yeah, I really wonder if it’ll be a whipped vote. Part of me wonders if that’s why whats-his-name crossed the floor. If they let it be a free vote, then anyone can abstain as they see fit.
Probably have to wait and see some polling on the budget but from casual conversations/reactions, it seems pretty rocking.
