As you well know, the ‘income trust thing’ has grown beyond the question of whether fair taxes are paid on income from trusts. It’s become a giant dirty snowball, and as it rolls forward it accumulates more and more bulk. There are so many unanswered questions. Let's list a few and invite our "Accountable" government and our free press to provide some much-needed answers.
It is said “Trusts are inefficient use of capital. Why?” Two related questions are ‘Whose money is it, anyway?’, and ‘Do Canadian investors have a free and efficient market?’
How can information that is already in the public domain at SEDAR make for a state secret? How could such information be used to harm the Canadian national interest? And who would cause the harm?
Why won’t the Canadian media investigate the falsehoods and misrepresentations told by the Minister of Finance to a committee of Parliament? Was the Minister in contempt of Parliament?
Why won’t the Canadian media report (a) government tax revenues gained from BCE in 2006 when BCE was a corporation to (b) government tax revenues that would be gained in 2007 from BCE, if BCE had been allowed to proceed to a trust, and (c) government tax revenues that will be gained in 2007 from BCE, when BCE ownership has been carved up as 45% foreign ownership and 55% large Canadian pension fund ownership?

It all comes down to "Fairness" & by God , Canadians love "fairness".
A fair fight , all`s fair , fair ball , the Tax Fair-ness Plan.
After all Fairness is the Canadian way.
Why shouldn`t greedy old farts who have too much money (read ... probably more than us) be taxed to create fairness (read ...shaft them so we can have more).
Level that playing field (read ... everybody gets the same no matter how hard you work & save).
Jim Flaherty is a genius (read ... give me a handout & I will vote for you , if not , you are a dolt).
Of course , maybe I am just cynical (read ... still soooooo pissed-off)

Somewhere some time between Pearson and Chretien, it became okay to lie to Parliament. In true British Parliamentary democracy, if you lie to the Speaker, you die on the floor of the House.
Here in Canada, if you're a pup MP, you're trained to tell lies and you get bump to the front for being good at lying.
Harper continues the tradition of perverting Canadian democracy.
By the way, when Mulroney say "No whore like an old whore" he was talking about an olde tyme Liberal from Quebec. So...
