You do realize that the world is not a dichotomy where there are only buffoons like Trump and merry wanderers like Trudeau? Maybe hundreds of other options even. And in complaining about the Harper cut of 2% to the HST, which indeed was not considered a good move by tax policy specialists, you should remember this is the same GST that the Chretien Liberals were elected to repeal 100% based on the (now broken) promises in their 1993 Liberal 'Red Book'. Like I said, there are, hopefully, many other options.
