Pay attention. It's 36.2% in the highest tax area in Canada, and only if you're a terminal dumbass by not taking advantage of deductions or, like most intelligent people, incorporation.
Perhaps you missed the point where I said I paid 18.1% last year? Is that a factoid that you conveniently ignored because it doesn't agree with your preconceived notion of how things work, or are you just nonplussed by the fact that there's people who know the real numbers and will call you on your obviously false claims?

The majority of Canadiens will vote Liberal !?????#$$%&%@$@#$@@% AGAIN Can you dig this ? All the scandals flying everywhere.

Yes, most people in Canada will vote liberal because the liberals are middle-road and canucks are rightly afraid of handing control of the country to people that'd make us more like the US. I predict that, if anything, bringing back broadbent will drum up more support for the NDP.
The scandal is little more than muckraking by the crossburners in a pitiful attempt to get support somewhere, ANYWHERE, but the flatlands. Good luck with that, when you have the reform party leaders (or whatever they want to call themselves now) claiming "Atlantic Canada is full of lazy welfare bums." Great way to gain support in new areas, pinny. The merging of the PC (fiscal conservative, social liberal) with the reform party (fiscal conservative, socially theocratic) has moved the entire party to the right, so far right that many people are going to the liberals because they can't tolerate the idea of some bible-thumping reactionaries running the show. Look forward to seeing Liberals taking traditionally PC areas, rather than seeing them slip into reformist hands.
The equation is simple to make... a few hundred million to make sure Canada wins the referendum, vs. god only knows how much pain and heartache dealing with the fallout from a failed vote. IMO, they could have pumped a billion in there and it'd have been a bargain. Ever since the 'separatist problem' has been resolved, Canada has regained its triple-A bond rating and the heart has been cut out of the separatist movement aside from the most militant and fringe areas of quebec. Separatist support is at its lowest levels it has been in my lifetime. That, to me, is a succesful campaign.
If Martin was smart, he'd just fess up to it: "Yes, we poured a bunch of money into an ad campaign and services that helped keep our country together." His eye to political fallout in the next election is blinding him in this issue, IMO.
