I'm not a huge fan of the PC's but when your options are voting for a party that thinks post secondary education should be free of charge in a few years/want's to cut everyone meaningless rebate cheques and the other that won't actually commit to what its plans are in any way i'd say you don't have much choice.

I really don't understand how this policy is defensible. One, the same could be said for a huge number of professions. Two, if you actually think teachers are hard done by, pay them more - accomplishes exactly the same thing without complicating the tax code.
