Are you praising Harper for something?

The availability in Peterborough and surrounds of decent cheese has improved. Don't think that's down to the government tho.

Google suggests that TFSA stands for Tax Free Savings Account. If that's the usage intended above then surely this is an insignificant change compared with better baguettes in a national supermarket chain or, indeed, an improvement in the range of cheeses available in Peterborough. Governments always fiddle with the tax code, accountants adjust tax returns to compensate, few people remember the names of the provisions added or removed last year.

The widespread acceptance of the delusion that yoga pants are trousers is a bigger societal shift.

Tolls added to cross the port mann bridge, then tolls removed by current govt.

Disability payments have increased.

Carbon tax added at the provincial level before it was considered by the feds.

HST brought in then HST kicked out.

Because they are morons. They want people to use less carbon and then removed one of the incentives for those that did.

A bit like the NDP in Alberta, impose a carbon tax and then rebate it to 60% of the population as, it would appear, only the wealthy's use of carbon impacts the environment.

Oh well, it was a nice idea.
