Changes to the tax code were very poorly presented, perhaps because the Liberals had a 75 day consultation period and they thought the facts would come out naturally over that time period.

But presenting tax changes is not very interesting, the fight the Cons put together with the help of all their right wing supporters (Fraser Institute, Canadian Taxpayers Fed, etc.) was fun to cover as was the wealth of our finance minster and his villa in France.

Nothing Conservatives and the media hate more than a wealthy L/liberal.

Too bad - the tax code needs updating and loopholes closed but this fiasco makes it all much, much harder.
