   Total bullshit again, Lambourn.  Harper's deficit-reduction was on the backs of   
   most Canadians.  He withheld transfer payments to provinces, he capped   
   healthcare transfers to growing populations in those provinces, he withheld   
   military budget allotments from the defence department, he cut funding for   
   foreign programs involved with childcare and abortion, he cut huge numbers of   
   staff in the research and scientific fields involved with our environment . . .   
   .  the list goes on and on.   
      
   He didn't reduce the deficit.  He withheld monies promised to Canadians and   
   organizations who have relied on their tax dollars supporting programs that   
   mean a whole lot to them.   
      
   Oh, and by the way . . .  It was Ontario's Liberal government that was the   
   hardest hit by the reduction of transfer payments to them - re-rerouted instead   
   to his home province of Alberta, oil-rich country.  Rather than anyone taking   
   their hat off for Stephen Harper, they should support a public roasting of him   
   and his crony Cons on the steps of the Parliament buildings.   
   All proceeds to go towards the programs he's cut.
