We've seen what 100% coporate tax does (back in the USSR), and it's certainly a worse overall standard of living than being somewhere in the middle. The 0% countries tend to do not bad but rely on import duties and sales taxes for revenue (hello, Cayman Islands) - something that may not completely work for Canada being a net exporter that benefits enormously from free trade.

You have a party that has almost enough seats to form a majority government yet has almost an impossible time getting anything done that it was elected to do.

Parliamentary democracy is neither horseshoes nor hand grenades. Close doesn't count. Harper's government wasn't elected to do anything, other than to take the first crack at forming a government.
