The conservatives in two years have lived up to more promises than the liberals did in 13 years.
Yeah, remember when Harper promised in the last election how a Conservative government would never tax income trusts. That was great.

Look, there it is! Printed on page 32 of the Conservative Party's 2006 election platform document:

• Stop the Liberal attack on retirement savings and preserve income trusts by not imposing any new taxes on them.
Whoops!

But surely Conservatives here in Calgary, right in the heartland of CPC territory would forgive that little fib, right?
