So why should we believe a single word Harper says now? A true psychopath at work. Lets not forget that Harper is the one thats in for himself.
Say can you remember, he called us "Pals"? He promised us seniors income security.
Say can you remember how he cost us small retail investors billions while his laughing fool Mr Two New Shoes lied thru the wall of his teeth?
Trust NOT Stephen Harper.
He is now referring to you & I as "my friends"
All I can say is don`t make eye contact , hold onto your wallet & run like hell.

Quite the nerve those Liberals for even mentioning Income Trusts! Very hypocritical ... Seems to be Income Trusts are only gets mentioned or becomes an issue when it is convenient for that political party and they need votes. We all know why they keep quiet on that one - DESMARAIS money!
Seems the only party Income Trustors can vote for with a clear conscience is the Green Party ...
You're right about the Liberals! Very opportunistic is how you would describe the Liberal's attachment to the income trust issue. It's only ever mentioned by the Liberals when it suits THEIR purposes and advances their cause, Its been that way ever since Ignatieff took over from Dion. Total conniving hypocrites. They can't even get the most fundamental facts straight, as an earlier press release of March 27, 2011 said that the tax on income trusts was 34%, when we all know it was 31.5%. DUH! How do you spell "asleep at the wheel"?
