Il y a quelques mois, la promesse d’abolir le registre des armes d’épaules s’est muée – subrepticement – en promesse d’en effacer les données. Quand les Conservatifs sont passés au stade du « chose promise, chose dûe », la promesse a mué.
« This is a very proud moment for me « ¦ because it is the culmination of several years working to deliver one of our government’s first promises to Canadians in 2006, » he said. « Today we are delivering on that commitment. » – Vic Toews, tel que cité le 25 octobre 2011 dans le Toronto Sun

Revenons plutôt à Junior Marceau, dont les raccourcis intellectuels en matière de rétroactivité semblent avoir été directement inspirés par la rhétorique des Conservateurs: the government can’t shoot down the health tax and the growing tuition fees without retroactively increase the tax rate on income above $130,000 and capital gains
