Harper is an idiot and a Bush wanna be.

You can't claim that the Conservative move to tax income trusts was a surprise if you keep abreast of Canadian politics, and you shouldn't be investing in Canada unless you do. (Not that I support Flaherty's move.) It should also be no surprise that the Conservatives are ideologues who will make decisions they think are right regardless of their consequences. The whole Reform initiative was a successful attempt to purge the former Progressive Conservatives of their modifier by purging the pragmatists and Red Tories that used to to give the party balance and made it a serious contender against the always pragmatic and centrist Liberals.

If the polls start trouncing Conservative popularity numbers, they will likely relent and extend the effective tax holiday period to 7-10 years for oil and gas trusts which nearly exceeds their reserve life and net asset value calculations. Thus Canadian oil and gas trusts become something like the American ones that can't add tax free reserves to their assets. The so called "George Bush wannabe" would then succeed in Americanizing our oil and gas trusts along with our reits.
