Actually it was a bit of both:

I think what confuses and/or upsets some people is what the PC's campaigned on this past fall.

This was in their election materials ("Stephen Harper's plan for Canadians")

Today, Canada is strong, united and free – the envy of the world. We are in the
best financial position of any country in the G7. While other countries are
struggling with uncertainty, Canada is on the cusp of becoming a bastion of
economic strength on the international stage.
