Two cheers and a raspberry for the Government of Nova Scotia

The Hamm government deserves two cheers for its recent decisions: (1) to cancel the planned corporate tax cut in light of the September budget update and the additional strains on the provincial budget since September 11 and (2) to promote equalization between municipalities in Nova Scotia. By delaying the corporate tax cut, the government shows flexibility. By promoting equalization at the municipal level, it shows creativity.
