Harpernomics™ for Socialists #2

Wake up Canada. Shake off the intellectual torpor instilled by decades of Torostar and Peoples Network pablum.

Corporate taxes are a total crock, since they simply get passed on to purchasers. Canadian workers pay for them in lower wages, and we end up gutting our economy to subsidize China. I know the Department of Finance and the accounting profession won't like this, but I'd like them cut entirely, so we can move toward creating a Tiger Economy. I'd like to see Canada - The Northern Bear™, with a red hot economy like Ireland's or New Zealand's.

Hey even Backpack Boy gets it. But will he support the elimination of corporate taxes in the House of Commons?

Sorry, but I doubt it. That's Puffin politics. Any questions?

Talk Tough Like Mike

•“Look, this is America and you have to decide what kind of country you want. This is your country as much as it is mine.” - 2004
*"Look, if I lose, I'll just move back to Massachusetts." - to the Harvard Crimson newspaper - 2006
*“If you mess with me, I’ll mess with you until I’m done.”
• "You're looking at someone who turned down the chance to become Prime Minister of Canada, and I did so, in part, because I felt it would divide the country."
• “I don’t need any lessons in legitimacy from Harper.”
• “He knows where to find me.”
• "He's creating a parliamentary crisis and dividing the country."
• "It’s his budget, not mine."
• "It's up to Harper to make the right decision and up to me to decide if he made it."
• "We're putting the government on probation."
•"Mr. Harper, your time is up.”
*"This is a prime minister who a year ago was trying to make you embarrassed if you liked opera or classical music or the ballet or poetry. I mean, come on, let's get over this. You can like hockey, you can like classical music. Let's stop playing Canadian against Canadian and taste against taste."
