Why do they think hard-working Canadians should pay more so that their insider friends can pay less?</p>",

Le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> fait fi des cons\u00e9quences; peu importe si nos petits-enfants n'ont pas d'argent pour les soins de sant\u00e9, les routes ou les pensions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4062232\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs sont d\u00e9termin\u00e9s \u00e0 donner l'argent aux riches, co\u00fbte que co\u00fbte. Pourquoi, \u00e0 leur avis, les travailleurs canadiens devraient-ils payer plus afin que leurs amis proches du parti puissent payer moins?</p>"
