Funding for public services will dwindle due to corporate tax cuts - CLC economist.

Remember the Harris Government in Ontario? The same thing will happen to Canada if you re-elect the Conservatives to run the federal government - deficit (they've already put us into a deficit by giving away too much to large corporations, especially to foreign oil companies), increased debt, and cuts to services (which means less money for our healthcare, less for senior support, etc).
