Silly article. If it's supposed to be about broken promises about tax cuts for the middle class, then why include the 33% tax rate which kicks in above $200,000 of income? Similarly, the reinstatement of  TFSA contribution limit  to $5,000 form the previous limit of $10,000 was widely hailed as removing a benefit that high income earners were taking advantage of. As for the CPP as a "tax increase", not really-it's for pension contributions. Finally the myriad of child tax/fitness benefits were replaced with one Canada Child Benefit (CCB), which benefits the middle class at the expense of high income earners.
