Trudeau seems to be on the UP and UP disclosing everything according to your post.
Harper said that both he and his wife had personally run small businesses themselves. Before she moved to Ottawa, Laureen Harper was self-employed as a graphic designer and had her own company.
It is unclear exactly which small business Harper claimed to have run. He has worked most of his career in federal politics, first as an aide to Progressive Conservative and Reform Party MPs, then as an MP himself.

YOU ANGRY?
Not everyone can work for the government. There are job creators and job recipients, without the first being successful, you don't get to the second.
Just who do you consider to be extreme well off?
You can search Harper's tax breaks if you want.
never angry I leave that up to others
lol Job creators and job recipients
too funny
well at least things don't change, you can't post what you claim so instead you bashing the working people
you at the dinner table
on behalf of Canada "thank you for letting us work"

The cons have always encouraged those to pull their own weight and they will be rewarded. That is no longer the case.
You're wrong about businesses not being affected, even the Liberal MPs are worried about a backlash. Of course the freeloaders think its great.
we considering I am a high tax payer and pull my own weight, why do you think I don't deserve a tax break but the extreme well off do?
POST WHAT HARPER DID FOR THE AVERAGE GUY? NEVER MIND THE bs ABOUT PULLING YOUR WEIGHT
I AM ASKING ANYONE TO POST NOT JUST ONEWAY AC

The Liberals want to sponge off the working class while leaving the uber rich alone.
Now there are tax cheats, go after them, but JT is going to force more people out of business. A lot more is lost from those (ahem) that pay cash than anything they are trying to gain.
Biggest tax break in recent history for middle incomers
better child benefits for those that need it - unlike income splitting that did nothing for single moms or dads and equal earners
Stats Can reports more money in the pockets of Canadians today than yesterday
You will not see any business shutting down that wouldn't have otherwise
keep hoping AC - and I will wait for your post on Harpers tax breaks for the masses

I think you missed this.

didn't miss a thing
Inequality flat, but 1% holding gains
According to Statistics Canada, individuals earning over $234,130 annually make up the country's one per cent.
Their income has grown significantly over the years. In 1985, they earned $158,148 in 2015 constant dollars. That has grown by about 48 per cent since then. By comparison, the incomes of Canadians in the 70th to 80th percentile, earning about $53,000 to $68,000, have grown by about 17 per cent over that time
But the one per cent's growth has moderated over the last 10 years. Between 1995 and 2005, the income of the one per cent grew four times faster than that of the 70th to 80th percentile. Since 2005, however, the one per cent's income has grown by 14 per cent, just three points more quickly than the 70th to 80th percentile.
keep thinking the rich are getting poorer - simply not true

And there’s no question that, since coming to office in 2006, the Conservative government has cut taxes. But they’ve mostly been the wrong taxes, cut for the wrong reasons. Tax cuts aren’t just about reducing the overall tax burden on citizens — although that is important. But cutting the right taxes at the right times can spur economic growth, employment, savings rates. Cutting the wrong taxes can end up accomplishing nothing at all — beyond robbing the state of the revenue it needs to do its work, and winning a few points in the polls, short-term.
Back in 2004, the Department of Finance put together a working paper entitled ‘Taxation and Economic Efficiency’, which concluded that cutting taxes on savings and investment yield higher efficiency gains for the economy than cutting taxes on consumption. So the worst possible tax cut you could contemplate would be one which affects consumption only — like a cut to the GST.
So much for expert advice; the Harper government cut the GST by one point in 2006 and another point in 2007. This reduced government revenues by about $14 to $15 billion annually, roughly $110 billion over the past nine years. Oddly enough, this lost revenue accounts for about 80 per cent of the increase in federal public debt over that period.
Over the 10 years between budget 2006 and budget 2014, and including the PM’s “family tax package” announcements of October 2014, tax measures introduced by the Harper government have cost the treasury almost $332 billion. That’s equal to almost 17 per cent of annual GDP and almost one-half of total federal debt.

Wow, hoping for the government to provide one's prosperity.
The cons provide people (all) with the tools to elevate oneself. The Liberals want everyone to be dependent on them. That's Real Change.
The 10 budgets tabled by the Conservative government have contained tax changes that cumulatively have had the following effects:
- To defund the federal government in order to curtail the capacity of Canadians to act collectively through democratically controlled institutions;
- To reduce corporate taxes in order to increase corporate power and the wealth of shareholders;
- To shift taxes from capital to labour in order to make the rich richer and to force labour to bear the full cost of collective action;
- To support one-earner families in order to underline the importance of the traditional family and thus to ostensibly further reduce the need for government programs;
- To engage in social engineering through the enactment of tax expenditures so that these government subsidies aimed at particular political constituencies could be framed as tax cuts.
While using the tax system for these objectives, Harper has refused to use it to deal with some of Canada’s most pressing social and economic issues for which the tax system is an appropriate policy instrument, namely: alleviating inequality, tackling a stubbornly high level of poverty and combatting climate change. Further, having failed to curtail international tax evasion and avoidance by the rich and multinationals, his government has done almost nothing to protect the integrity of the tax system.
so you can't name anything for the average person?
Under Trudeau in just 1 year has 3

"Then there was the 2008-09 financial crisis — here the Conservatives’ record is solid. Canada had several advantages over other countries: its banking system was solid, and continued strong global demand for Canadian resource exports accelerated the recovery. Any Canadian government would have benefited from these advantages, but Harper’s government deserves credit for acting sensibly: working with the Bank of Canada to maintain liquidity in financial markets and initiating an explicitly temporary fiscal stimulus program, as part of a globally coordinated effort. Looking back, it’s hard to find anything the Harper government did wrong during the crisis. Unhappily for the world economy, not getting things wrong was a standard too few governments managed to meet."
we all know this and no one is denying Harper did okay when handed a solid surplus growing country, now post his tax breaks for everyone over 10 year period?
You can't because he did fucking nothing until election time and failed at it

TFSA's are better for people making less.
The HST going to 5% was a regressive tax cut that helped lower earners more. Personally I would have liked to see the tax rates lowered for all as that is fair.
JT is just creating class warfare has has the usual idiots beating the drums.
parrot says what?
I guess you missed where over 50% of people go pay cheque to pay cheque - there are no savings for these people
sorry TFSA is not for the masses
Yes the Cons GST going down to 5% did something but not much since its a few pennies a purchase.
10 years AC 10 years and all you got is that? wow that is Hero stuff right there

Amazing how despite how well we hear that the economy is doing food bank visits are at a high reaching levels that have not been seen since last recession.
I guess a $15min wage for unemployed jobless will be very beneficial.
I don't think you understand the Food Bank or its stats
not sure where your crying was during the election year of 2015? outFAKErage
This is Stephen Harpers Food Bank Stats above
The Economy growing and people making millions can and does happen while others have very little or need help. The Food Bank is not a measure of the economy....
Going by the chart I don't see how you think ONTARIO is leading the FOOD BANK GAME
