Did you want another corporate boot licker or just an incompetent Conservative with a focus on lower corporate taxes ? Remember nobody took to the streets or protested the last time Harper brought in lower corporate taxes but then you might not recall Harper suggesting Canada could no longer afford Canada Pension.
