I'm reminded of that Coffee Crisp ad from a while back: "Just because you say it, doesn't make it a saying, dad!".

That's correct. His unnuanced approach has been a disaster.

Like I said, I prefer the Liberal proposal. I hate tax breaks and credits for wealthy households. It's a slap in the face. I'm just not sure the NDP proposal is that. You say it is, but I wouldn't mind reading an article that analyzes the situation and make up my own mind.

I'm not dismissive at all. They're legitimate concerns. But they pale in comparison to what Stephen Harper has done to this country and our democracy. As far as I'm concerned, I'm willing to take the chance that Mulcair and the NDP does a 0/10 job in government, just for the chance they do better. With the Harper government (TM), we are guaranteed a 0/10.
Think of it like a political Pascal's Wager - except it makes sense.
