The Conservative election campaign cited me (along with a handful of other policy luminaries) as somehow validating Stephen Harper's claim that cutting the GST will be a boon to low-income Canadians. Now that's a good one. I am understandably sceptical about the Conservatives' newfound concern for the plight of low-income Canadians. But I am downright angry about their manipulative use of my name and affiliation to shore up their kinder, gentler makeover.
