The Harper government is now little different from the Libs it replaced. What the Liberals did under the table with adscam, Harper has just institutionalized with his budget - blatant Quebec vote buying. Two key election promises have now been thrown overboard - no new taxes on income trusts and capital gains tax deferral. All the talk about competitiveness and broad-based tax reduction, just talk. This is a pandering budget worthy of Paul Martin at his worse.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, Harper has fallen into the trap most Conservative governments end up in - they run from the right then govern from the left. In doing so, they inevitably lose the base which is far more than what they might pick up. Just ask Ernie Eaves and Joe Clark.<BR/><BR/>The question for me now is whether I will sit out the next election or hold my nose and vote Liberal. If it weren't for the single issue, crypto-marxist chosen by the Libs that's where I would vote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
