Stephen Harper is the man. He may not have much personality, but boy is he a clutch player. Announcing yesterday that if he becomes Prime Minister he will immediately slash the GST from seven to six per cent and then to five per cent within five years was a brilliant move. Out of the blue. Generous. Just good politics. The Liberal income tax cut seems like peanuts now, especially since the party owes Canadians an apology for robbing us blind. Even if the cuts are indeed equal, Harper just made a fantastic impression. Another great promise: New cancer patients will wait for specialists for no more than 10 days! If only he had Green party notions on the environment or Liberal views on gay marriage or NDP plans for the the working man. If only he wasn't so corporate. If only he were telling the truth.
