Another huge federal surplus, another non-income tax break.

The canadian federal government has about $15 Billion extra and they decided not to do any serious income tax cuts. There's a 1% GST reduction, some corporate tax cuts, and repayment of debt. Hello, please stop with the gimmicks like the $100/month child cheque, the tax break for transit fares, the $500 tax break for children's sports fees and just drop the personal tax rate by a percent or so. The alleged conservatives have added 15% to the federal government payroll in the past 2 years to manage all these stupid programs when they should have just cut the tax rate. Any conservative voters that were voting conservative for fiscal responsibility must be just shaking their heads. The Liberals could come in, promise a conservative fiscal budget and probably do really well. I guess the Canadian Conservatives have take a play from the U.S. Republicans on how to spend $$ like crazy.
