Exactly. I had a quick conversation with a few here at the office about just that.
I tend to subscribe to the mantra of "think globally, vote locally". On those grounds alone, I had no reason not to re-elect our Liberal MP. We fought for and won the re-location of an election office, saw Veterans Affairs do more for our vets to give them the care they need (more of a national thing than a local thing, but he was a member of the Sub-Committee on Veterans Affairs), saw FedNor crank out cash for infrastructure for the riding, and our economy was supported by the grants needed to attract businesses to the North where they realize substantial tax breaks just for being here.
Harper's cutting tax by 1% immediately, and another 1% in another 1-2 years? That's nothing, they should have scrapped it altogether.
Nass is right... we're the only G8 country without an operating deficit, and social services and community programs have been slowly improving. That's better than having more take-home and less to support ourselves with any day of the week in my books. Healthcare needs to be fixed in this province FAST, but we have the Tories to thank for that mess as well as Dalton McCrackhead's waffling on fixing the cutting nightmare that was Mike Harris' legacy.
