Tempest

I'd like to know what Harper has done that's been great as well... Seriously.. I haven't followed things too much but from what I HAVE seen, he's ridden the coat tails of probably a decade and a half of hard decisions and policies made and undertaken by the liberal party to get our spending under control and reduce our debt... I'm definately not a hardcore liberal and they did a lot of shit wrong as well, but they did what was needed.. Unlike all the sheep, I actually am perfectly willing to support leaders that increase taxes when it's required to keep the country healthy. I should also note that I give credit to the hated Mulrooney for having the balls to get the GST in and free trade signed.. Both of those were also critical to bringing about the situation Canada is in now. And yes, neither was perfect either but nothing ever is.

As a result of those leaders, Harper gets too look good overseeing a good economy, budget etc... Harper gets to also cut the GST as a result and make himself look good to all the morons out there... I truly hate that decision as it was purely political and not in the best interest of the country.. what SHOULD have occured was keeping the GST the same and opening the coffers to reduce some taxes but far more importantly, put real money back into education, healthcare and other social services etc. I do support what he's doing with our military and him keeping us in Afganistan.
