Do you think Harpers 2% cut in Gst will get him any votes?

i think were used the 7% (15% total) and most voters wont be swayed by this attempt to appear to be helping the working man?

The conservatives initiated the GST to begin with. WHy the hell do the cons think they are doing us a favour by cutting a "suppsedly" unpopular policy that they created in the first place. It's like the Liberals enacting marshall law, and then campaigning to scrap marshall law during the next election in order to gain votes. Doesn't make any sense.

Canadian conservatives party is full of idiots. And their voting demographic are complete bandwagon pundits. They only read the news during election season, they only care about 1 or 2 issues, and they are usually incosequential like positions on gay marriage of gun control.

agreed, the more I listen to conservative supporters (and god knows in calgary I hear ALOT of them :roll:) the more I feel like I am in the steretypical deep south (Actually even that may be a little to liberal)

In general I want to support the conservatives but the party is just such a load of s**t and there is a reason that it attracts the people it does.



In the end my vote will likely go to the Liberals simply because while the sponsorship scandal was bad there is no denying their economic performance. It is second to none in the world.






as for the whole gst issue I agree harper is an idiot, but like the idiot he is canadian idiots love to follow him, in reality the tax revenue is just made up somewhere else and bandwagon pundits don't realize that. Somehow he proposes massive tax cuts in both income and gst while also making no significant cuts to services and giving every person requiring childcare $1200, ya good luck with that one harper. Maybe in a period following a recession that may be possible but that is just not the case.

Aren't we paying like 35 percent of our GDP...or is it GNP to our debt? Perhaps harper plans on taking the path of his clone, GW Bush.
I can see definately see harper leading this country into greater debt by redirecting our debt payments to fund his wako plans.

If he gets in, 10-1 says he will pull out the notwithstanding vote for the gay marriage law. I totally can't see him organizing a plebicite to decide. The majority of Canadians support or are indifferent to gay marriage, even though conservative drones claim otherwise.
