1. It always looks bad to break a promise but I think this was the right move to make<\/a>. I’m far from an investment expert but Income Trusts were a tax loophole which needed to be closed.<\/p>\n

2. Glad to see that the Clean Air Act may undergo massive amendments<\/a>. Hopefully something positive can come out of it.<\/p>\n

3. I link to this immigration story<\/a>, only because Monty Solberg has been practically invisible since getting into Cabinet. This is definitely positive, although I’d still like to see Canada hit the 1% target on immigration.<\/p>\n

5. One of the students injured in the Dawson College shooting has proposed what, in my opinion, are fairly reasonable changes <\/a>to Canada’s gun control laws.<\/p>\n
