Robin Wortman shared Matt Grants photo. 1 hr · It looks like the chart that inspired Preston Manning and a horde of sanctimonious libertarians to launch the Alberta based regional protest Reform Party (whose MPs are now collecting gold-plated MP pensions, for example, Monte Solberg receives $93,000.00 annually index to inflation) in opposition to Brian Mulroneys majority PC governments lack of action to eliminate the annual deficit and pay down the national debt. At least Mulroney pursued grand national initiatives for the benefit of Canada in the long term (NAFTA and GST, to name two). Harper isnt a builder, he has only cut spending and lowered taxes especially for corporations and high income earners with the one exception, Harper did tax INCOME TRUSTS, after promising NEVER to do it. If not for the sound financial condition Harper inherited from the Martin/Chretien Liberal governments in 2006 and the opposition parties threatening a non-confidence vote and Coalition Government that forced Harper to acknowledge that a global recession was brewing in 2008, Canada would be in much worse shape. If only Harper hadnt alienated key stakeholders required for industry to have the social license to construct an oil sands pipeline to access world price for oil, Albertas and Canadas financial positions would be better.
