When Harper and the conservatives were in power I did not believe in their plan for the economy.  I started buying US.  I'm up 30%.  You?  
On the capital gains subject, I think it is insane that I pay tax on 100% of what I work for and only on 50% of what I sit on my ass and watch.  A huge segment of the middle class (maybe you would consider them lower class) have their money in low paying saving accounts paying a terrible return and the interest they earn is taxed at 100%.  Also insane.  Others are getting gouged on mutual funds because they don't know any better and they fear the "risks" that makes far too many headlines.
