The <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> campaigns to never tax income trusts. The <a data-HoCid=\"78777\" href=\"/politicians/jim-flaherty/\" title=\"Jim Flaherty\">finance minister</a> taxes income trusts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"840831\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canadians lose $25 billion overnight and the minister says that it was because he wanted to collect more taxes. He then instigates a cover-up with his now infamous blacked out document.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"840832\" data-originallang=\"en\">Seniors lose billions and the Deloitte report shows that the government will not get its taxes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"840833\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I know pride cometh before the fall but will he not even say oops?</p>",
