" ... Mr. Bernier embraces these views with a vengeance. He promises to balance the budget within two years of becoming prime minister. He’s a flat-taxer: There would be only two tiers of income tax: one of 15 per cent and one of 25 per cent. He would abolish the capital-gains tax, reduce corporate taxes and eliminate all carbon taxes.."

My God - balance the budget !! Heresy - no more vote buying with borrowed money. Of curse that will never get him elected in Ontariowe. !

I am all for simplifying the tax code - a piece of special interest political fudging. Corporate taxes are merely a hidden tax that we all pay. A carbon tax is justified -but should be revenue neutral.

Too bad the general tone of the article is somewhat condescendingly negative instead of providing deeper clarification of the Conservative platform.
