Arthur Cockfield (Queen’s University) published an op-ed in the Toronto Star (Canada’s largest circulation paper), What Harper Must Do To Win Power:
To stand a chance of forming a majority government, the Conservatives need to move to the centre on social issues while sticking to their guns on fiscal and economic issues. Inspired by the work of a group of University of Calgary economists, Tory proposals on economic policy make sense. Harper’s government would reduce government regulation to encourage entrepreneurial efforts that drive the economy forward. The Conservative party also advocates sensible tax policy that would cut tax rates and eliminate tax subsidies, which would also promote a vibrant economy.
