On baselines

It's been somewhat of a disappointment that the opposition parties haven't spent more time branding the Cons with the economic downturn and establishing a low set of base expectations which would enable a coalition to claim success from relatively modest results.

But it's worth noting for future reference that Jim Flaherty appears to be saving them the trouble. After all, the Cons would figure to have trouble throwing blame for future difficulties on any other party when even the Cons' finance minister is telling Canadians to expect a "very difficult year" featuring "substantial job losses" before anybody else has had a say in the country's direction.
