That was such a short sighted move simply to pander to voters, and it definitely worked on that front. But it did incredible damage to the Canadian economy and made the recession after '08 much worse than it needed to be. Harper has been running deficits ever since, whereas if he simply reversed the GST cut it would have eliminated the deficit for the last few years
