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

Whoops!

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

Harper admitted he was wrong in the trusts promise. He had no choice. If you knew anything of the trusts you know it is border line money laundering. They are illegal in the states for a reason. The gov't was losing money is massive amounts so they had no choice. I support that decision. I don't quite see what your point was there. He admitted he made a mistake when promising not to abolish them. The liberals still dont admit guilt about the Adscam issue. Again, they may not be honest but they are a hell of a lot more honest then their predecessor.
