Alternate realities, eh? Has anybody run the possibilities if Iggy had an evil, menacing goatee, and Stephen Harper had a 'Tantalus Field' that made his enemies vanish from existence?

'They are getting rid of a big subsidy.'

If I send $100 bucks to the Conservatives, I get $75 back come tax time. Are you telling me the tax-rebate subsidy isn't bigger than the per-vote subsidy? Is that true? (I'm honestly not sure… these aren't sarcastic questions.)
