Not that politicians can’t change their minds. Constituencies change; so do various situations. However, isn’t scrapping corporate tax cuts supposed to be more of an NDP type of thing to aspire to?

Where to start?

A) The NDP have and still oppose corporate tax cuts

B) The NDP did not ‘share’ the Liberal view on the matter, the Liberals put the tax cuts in place, and voted for them in several Conservative budgets.

Read the news today, Mulcair makes it pretty clear where the NDP stands…

“He wants the NDP, in the next 48 hours, to cancel a corporate tax reduction that they voted for and we voted against,” Mulcair said. “Even in the world of Liberal hypocrisy, this one takes the cake. I think Mr. Regan’s been into the egg nog.”
