Unfortunately the Conservative government has done absolutely nothing to eliminate crony capitalism. If anything, they are continuing to aid and abet.

@johndoe124 - just mystified by your comment. How does this follow? BTW is there such a thing as crony socialism?

dubya, my comment indirectly refers to the Mike Brock link. Big business hates competition which is why they embrace regulation. They know that the onus of most regulation is on the proprietor. That costs a lot of time and money which most small businesses, especially small cap businesses, can't afford. The Conservatives, the party that many of us thought was the party that would end this bullshit, has so far failed small business miserably. What is the point of an HST if there is no competition?
