Reminds me of Rob Ford's "Stop the Gravy Train"  Either there wasn't much gravy, or the train was too hard to stop. Anyway, efficient government and wasteful spending are 2 different things. McGuinty blew a bunch of money on cancelling gas plants, and saddled Ontario with high energy costs with his attempt at a "green energy" industrial plan. Neither of these have to do with government efficiency. 

Meanwhile, Harper gave Canada a massive deficit by ideologically cutting the GST, something that will burden future generations of government.  Bernier could be doing the same. Cut taxes 1st, make the government deeply indebted, and therefore be forced to make unpopular cuts - after he is gone.
