Conservative MP apologizes for Harper's income trusts betrayal
WHITBY - Conservative MPs are continuing to feel the sting of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's income trusts betrayal at the door, with St. Catharines' Conservative Candidate Rick Dykstra trying to limit the damage to his re-election chances.
Speaking at an all candidates' debate, Mr. Dykstra tried to remove the Flaherty albatross from his campaign by asking forgiveness from the voters:
"We made a commitment. We didn't keep that commitment, and for that I apologize to the people of St. Catharines who were impacted by that decision." (Federal Election Candidates Debate, Cogeco, September 23, 2008)

I was just watching CTV local news with all candidates EXCEPT the Con candidate...too scared to be on TV I guess?
WOW a step in the right direction. With a comment like that I might actually listen to the man, I still wouldn't vote from him, but he would get some respect.
Harper and the CONs could make this a whole lot easier on themselves if Harper apologized and open up the books and showed us why he thought he had to act and not just provided us with blacked out pages as proof.
Then IF he could prove the case something most evidence indicates he can't, but just assuming he can then all that's left to explain is why he chose such an incredibly dumb way to fix the problem, that has done the exact opposite of his goal and lost tax revenue not saved it.
