Here's a highlight:

"Simply put, the Harper government faced no economic imperative in introducing more corporate tax cuts. It was a matter of ideology trumping sound economics.

Now, in order to pay for them, Canadians are going to have do without some important goods and services — what economists call social goods. Social goods like investments in our children which, while you can’t go to the mall to buy, make us richer as a society."
