Lies my Prime Minister told me

That he wouldn’t raid seniors’ nest eggs by taxing income trusts
That income trusts cause tax leakage
That he wouldn’t call an election until October 2009
That he didn’t bribe Chuck Cadman
That the economy is sound
That he would never run a deficit

What other lies await us, Prime Minister Dearest?

A guy who continually bends the truth in new & innovative ways like this PM deserves nothing but an extended raspberry from the rest of us.

So here`s to you Mr Harper from the rest of Canada ...... spltttt!!!!

WE"D LIKE SOME ANSWERS

As you well know, the ‘income trust thing’ has grown beyond the question of whether fair taxes are paid on income from trusts. It’s become a giant dirty snowball, and as it rolls forward it accumulates more and more bulk. There are so many unanswered questions. Let's list a few and invite our "Accountable" government and our free press to provide some much-needed answers.

It is said “Trusts are inefficient use of capital. Why?” Two related questions are ‘Whose money is it, anyway?’, and ‘Do Canadian investors have a free and efficient market?’

How can information that is already in the public domain at SEDAR make for a state secret? How could such information be used to harm the Canadian national interest? And who would cause the harm?

Why won’t the Canadian media investigate the falsehoods and misrepresentations told by the Minister of Finance to a committee of Parliament? Was the Minister in contempt of Parliament?

Why won’t the Canadian media report (a) government tax revenues gained from BCE in 2006 when BCE was a corporation to (b) government tax revenues that would be gained in 2007 from BCE, if BCE had been allowed to proceed to a trust, and (c) government tax revenues that will be gained in 2007 from BCE, when BCE ownership has been carved up as 45% foreign ownership and 55% large Canadian pension fund ownership?
