Yesterday myself and group of concerned Canadians met with John McCallum. We were joined by 30 other people on the phone (Investment managers, issuers and individual investors).
We were meeting with John McCallum to point out the significant damage that has been done to jobs, savings and retirement income by Flaherty’s misguided income trust tax.
We are calling upon the Liberal government to make a repeal of the income trust tax a condition precedent of their support of the upcoming budget, as repealing the income trust tax is tax accretive to Ottawa. At the same time achieves all the stated policy objectives of the day.
That said, try naming one other policy measure that is both tax accretive and stimulative?
Here is the document that was discussed with John McCallum.
The meeting was recorded, and can be replayed by dialing 416-640-1917 Passcode: 21294861#

All I can say is thank goodness someone is listening because the Conservatives could not care less.
It seems unless you are Joe Big Guy CEO or The Holy Crap I am Huge Pension fund , your worth is zilch to the Cons.
Thank you John for listening.
Dr Mike Popovich--former life-long Progressive Conservative.
BRENT: THANKS FOR THE INFO AND FOR YOU DEDICATION TO THE CAUSE.....I LISTEN TO THE PLAY BACK THIS MORNING AND FELT YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB.....AGAIN MANY THANKS.
I WAS SURPRISED BY THE CALL IN COMMENTS......THERE ARE BITTER PEOPLE! ....AND THE LIBERALS DID FAIL IN COMMUNICATION IN THE LAST ELECTION AS THE CONSERVATIVES ARE MORE DECADENT THEN THE PUBLIC KNOWS.
JUST A LITTLE FYI.....PEOPLE I TALK TO ARE LIVID WITH HARPER AS THEY FEEL HE DID LITTLE LAST YEAR "EXCEPT" FOR THE SMEAR CAMPAIGN ON DION. CALL IT POLITICS IF YOU WANT......WE CALL IT UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR AS IT CROSSED THE LINE OF WHAT WAS NEEDED. AND THE LIBERALS DID NOTHING ABOUT IT!.....AND AS THEY SAY "A BULLY WILL ALWAYS BE A BULLY AS LONG AS YOU LET HIM"
A LITTLE SHOP TALK: LONG AGO I WENT FROM A COUNTRY SCHOOL TO A CITY HIGH SCHOOL. FOR A YEAR I PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE SCHOOL BULLY (HOT SHOT) AS I WAS AN OUTSIDER. FINAL I SAID ENOUGH IS ENOUGH....LATER THAT DAY IN THE LOCKER ROOM HE STARTED AGAIN......AND I KNOCKED THE CRAP OUT OF HIM.....TWO BLACK EYES AND OFF FROM SCHOOL FOR A WEEK. I WAS AFRAID OF A STUDENT BODY BACK LASH BUT TO MY SURPRISE I WAS ROUNDLY CONGRATULATED......THEY SAID IT WAS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE DID SOMETHING....HOW ABOUT GOING AND DOING HIS BROTHER AS WELL.....WHICH I DID NOT DO.
THE POINT IS....IF THE LIBERALS EVER DECIDE TO COME OUT SWINGING.....AND HIT HARPER WITH THE TRUTHS IN PUBLIC.....THEY ALSO WILL GET A SHOCK AT THE SUPPORT THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE. THE SECRET TO THE SUCCESS IS COLD COOL CONSIST AND IN CONTROL. NO HYPE!
AS FOR JOHN MCCALLUM, I FELT THAT HE WAS ON THE SIDE OF INCOME TRUST NEEDS....BUT WAS GUARDED IN TOTAL COMMITMENT. PERHAPS PART OF MY LACK OF UNDERSTANDING IS IN NOT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT THE LIBERAL ELECTION PLATFORM ON TRUSTS REALLY WAS AS IT WAS SO POORLY COMMUNICATED. CERTAIN SAFE GUARDS AND CONDITIONS DO NEED TO BE APPLIED.
AGAIN BRENT....THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS AND FOR KEEPING ME INFORMED
ALL THE BEST!
