Throne Speech Indicates Move Towards Income Splitting?

I think most small c, economic conservatives wrote Harper off a while back. The libertarians sure did.

This one did, Hell I wrote off the entire new CPofC after its creation when the Reformers took over. It's nothing but populism wrapped around neo-liberal economic policy. The only thing conservative left in the Conservative Party are the social conservative evangelical religious nuts ...and they can keep those.
