No one's going to care about this stuff though 'cause haters gonna hate.
Actually, we do care. Harper hasn't even done a good job cutting taxes! Income splitting is mostly a benefit to the wealthy, GST is one of the most economically efficient taxes (ergo, worst choice to cut), and the home renovation tax credit is, in the words of Stephen Gordon (University of Laval economics professor, Globe and Mail contributor) "yet another God damn boutique tax credit".
