Have Canadian Values Changed?

I don't think so. Perhaps certain Harperites would like to think so, but I tend to disagree.

Harper and Co. have already reduced the basic personal exemption rate (putting an exceptional amount of families back on the tax rolls), raised taxes for Canada's lowest-income earners, and now have cut funding to many programs that need the funding most.

The biggest lie behind it all, is that they claim that this is "being responsible with taxpayer's dollars." These cuts only account for about 0.5% of total government spending.

I don't know about others, but if I was working to save 0.5% at my income level, I would make one less stop at the local McDonald's every month.
