Tory Trial Balloon Made Of Lead

Harper is learning that campaign promises, in this case about equalization, are remembered and people really do care whether you deliver on them or not. Given his flip flop on income trusts, the PM cannot afford any more. He does not want to be known as the Conservative Dalton McGuinty. It is getting so bad, even the Blogging Tories are starting to take note. For Harper, this is not a good thing. I expect the final announcement will be different than the one leaked yesterday. However, Harper doesn't have a lot of options here. The question is, who does he screw over, Quebec or Saskatchewan/Newfoundland?
