Something comes up (car broke down, car is in repair shop, big repair bill). You can't afford to take her now.
Are you now a liar?

If you knowinlingly make a promise you can't keep, you are a liar. Anyone who looked at the CPC platform knew balancing the budget wasn't happening. A nice sounding bit of political bull####, but reality dictated that a balanced budget required a lot of things to go right that they probably knew wouldn't. So perhaps liar is the wrong word, intellectually dishonest is a better one.
You also conveniently ignore my larger point about how it doesn't matter what proof comes out about Harper, as a staunch, unwavering CPC supporter there's nothing that will change your mind. But if this was Trudeau being accused there would be likewise be nothing to change your mind that he's in the wrong. You are pretty much what is wrong with politics, you pick a team and choose to defend them because thats what homers do. Even when your team is doing things horribly, you have to keep defending them. Its really sad quite frankly.
