Dog bites man

More shocking revelations from d'Aquino et al. - the CCCE wants both tax cuts and attention. My favourite part is this passage:
The CEOs want the national debate to switch to strategies for cutting excessive spending, taxation and regulations -- and away from endless partisan wrangling in Parliament.

As framing tactics go, this is an impressive one - as far as the CCCE is concerned, any discussion other than "how should we give more money to Thomas d'Aquino?" qualifies as "partisan wrangling".

With that said, I hope the Liberals are spineless enough to play along with the CCCE come campaign time. Nothing would be better for the NDP than to be the voice of good management while the Liberals and Conservatives compete to offer the largest possible corporate tax cuts, balanced budget and social programs be damned.
