With regard to the Income Trust taxation issue, Mr. Solberg admits to lying, purposefully hurting people and to considering it as having just a small affect on people's bottom line.
As a victim of his treachery I can say that the damage is very real and not some bottom line entry on a financial statement. He has stolen very real savings from my RRSP. He has destroyed the value of the very real capital that took me decades to save up. He wants to cut my income by a third. He wants to double tax my RRSP withdrawals.
To him it is just a bottom line issue. To me it is a matter of survival, of being able to pay for my food, my clothing, my heating bills, my medicine, and for the other necessities of life.
When a knife wielding thug steals your wallet and leaves you cut and bleeding, it is more than an act that just affects your bottom line. His cold and premeditated actions resulted in very real victims. This is not a victimless crime that the Conservatives have committed.

The income Trust taxation was necessary. Large companies were evading paying taxes, leaving it to the working class guy. Stop having such a short sighted view.

If you love Ma Bell, Petro Canada & the Black empire and paying extra taxes - you will hate the change in the law.
There was a huge hole in the original law that allowed huge corporations to evade the taxes they would have to pay. The average tax payer would have had to (and have been) making up the difference)
