On the campaign trail: The daily photo recap
Conservative leader Stephen Harper visited a firehall in the rural Quebec town of Victoriaville Tuesday, where he downplayed the $2.2-billion cost of a Tory pledge to compensate the province for moving to a harmonized sales tax. “It is a one-time cost for this year. It will not change the overall downward path of the deficit over the next few years,” he said. The Tory leader made promises designed to woo rural Quebeckers away from the Bloc Québécois, including a $450 tax break for volunteer firefighters and incentives for nurses and doctors to move to rural communities. But Mr. Harper was dogged by criticism over his “bubble” style of campaigning, and he sidestepped questions on why a young woman was ejected from a Conservative rally in London, Ont., because she's posted a photo of herself with Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff on Facebook. “The staff runs our campaigns and I can’t comment on individual matters like that,” he said. He also defended himself over the Bruce Carson affair, in which a man hired to work in the Prime Minister’s Office turned out to have multiple fraud convictions. Mr. Harper said he wasn’t aware of those convictions and wouldn’t have hired Mr. Carson had he known of his recent past.
