Your argument applies equally as well to cutting the GST and income taxes. The Liberals and Conservatives both agree taxes should be cut, their disagreement is in which form tax cuts should take. When is anything permanent for any government?

The Strategic Counsel has their poll on their Web site. But there isn't a December 1st poll on the Ipsos site. Do explain... Oh yeah, you want me to apologize for 'implying' you lied when you won't apologize for calling Harper a liar. *IF* you provide a link, and explain the double-standard, you will get your apology. I am not sharkman. Are you working on conspiracy theories to explain why you are going to lose this election already?

Exactly! Martin's tax cut proposals amount to less than Martin's pre-election spending spree. Hello PM Harper!

Leader, Best not to respond to him. Quite sad for the lifelong Liberals. So far the media hasn't been playing along with them and it is driving them crazy!

If PM Harper can find common ground with the BQ than Jack may be returned to the traditional role of irrelevance. The CPC is going to have a good year to govern while the Liberals look for a new leader. I can't see Jack having much influence with the BQ and Liberals unwilling to force an election.

err, I clearly don't agree with you but at least you generally abide by the rules of the board. When I can understand what you mean? Sand in my eye wtf? I responded to the Kim Campbell comment very clearly. She is sad and was a terrible leader. Her comments mean nothing and are already off the radar.

That's ok. If he keeps it up Greg will ban him soon enough.

spar, I'll give you this much. *IF* the Conservatives had come out and said "We absolutely won't cut income taxes, but we will cut the GST" then yes I would have been unhappy. But does anybody really, really think a Conservative government won't cut income taxes???

Good post. Nice line at the end. Similar to one of my favourites - radio is television for ugly people.

Methinks you doth protest too much. After 12+ years of winning moral victories but losing elections the Conservatives have hit on a winning formula here. Besides, there is plenty of money left for tax cuts in a Harper goverment. Given that Layton won't be writing anymore budgets!

Thanks for that cc. No way I am wasting my time responding to some loser who gets banned and sneaks back onto the board.

A quick scan of headlines this morning. Harper's Pledge to Cut GST Reverberates - Globe and Mail Tory tax cut promise dominates campaign day 3 - CTV GST plan called magic bullet - Globe and Mail Sounds like very positive news to me.

Why use the term 'blurt out'? Do you feel like a big man using such infantile terms? Uhhh, it was painfully obvious it would be a story very, very early in the campaign. It is already old news. Hmmm, planning skills. Like the 1001 extremely important priorities of Paul Martin?

Hmmm, Normie are your resorting to out and out lying. The most recent poll from Ipsos is for November 26th as of the time of this poll. Source? The Strategic Council poll from yesterday has the following results. Libs 35 CPC 30 NDP 15 BQ 14 Interesting how your 'fictional' poll is biased against the right. Actually, it is more expected than anything else...

Holy crap normie. We get your point. You think Harper was a mistake. Great. They ain't gonna change leaders now. Funny how you get stuck on this while the good news of the GST is starting to dominate another news cycle.

True 'nuf eureka. I will make a general comment about message boards. This is the third board I have frequented. I quit using the other two because I moved and my new location made those boards a little irrelevant in my mind. In both cases there were posters that kinda freaked me out. Either from posting too much personal information or from having a psychotic/vindictive memory about other people's personal posts. Nothing ever *happened* in either case but they both made me leery of letting too much info be publicly available.

Sounds like more of the tired old 'Hidden agenda' crap from the Liberals. Because the CPC will be desperate to find the cash to pay for the second percentage cut - reducing the credit will be a silent way to reduce the impact of the tax cut on gov't revenues. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But things are looking up for the Conservatives.

ok, I'll start. I am clearly a supporter of the CPC. I have experience on campaigns/campus politics, yada yada in the past. When school finishes and I get home I will volunteer somehow/somewhere for this election. All the fireworks will really start after the Xmas break. In January I plan to move to Ottawa. Either to start a job I am in the in the middle of the hiring process of - or to look for other employment. Maybe on the hill?

Hmmm, why would I do your reserch for you? I don't believe the facts you are throwing out. I previously worked in an industry which catered to many lower income customers and saw the money that went to smokes and booze. Both subject to the GST.

I guess you mean the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives? Hmmm, you don't get your "information from looking at Web sites that might support a bias" but you direct me to look at a site for an organization whose BC Director is Naomi 'No Logo' Klein's brother? No bias there at all!

What's the saying about a drunken sailor on a 72 hour pass? Mission accomplished with this plan. It has dominated a news cycle, with inane criticisms coming from 'economists' and other 'leading figures'. December 1st draws to a close, in the Eastern time zone, as another successful day for the Conservatives!

I completely agree. It would be far too much of a shock to the collective psyche to legalize it right away. A period of decriminalization would be a good first step. Laelius, this: is absolutely ridiculous. It isn't like smoking pot changes your native language. Besides dude would probably be hungry and would possibly have the giggles!

How about cutting down the money flowing into the Hell's Angels, the mafia and other gangs by legalizing pot? How about the increase in tax revenue that would ensue? Would I feel safe going to a doctor who was stoned? Hell, no. But I wouldn't feel safe going to a drunk doctor either. Does that mean we should introduce prohibition? If stoned driving laws were as stiffly enforced as drunk driving laws should be, I wouldn't have a problem at all. But I think we can all agree about Celine Dion.

Every one? Seems to me the CBC uses the same guy everytime they say 'constitutional experts'.
