From an economic standpoint, taxing the corporations brings with it other problems. Pretty much the only thing Harris got right, IMO, was reducing the amount it cost to employ people in Ontario. Under Rae, employers were paying just about the same amount FOR the employee in taxes as they paid TO the employee in salary. The result was high unemployment - companies couldn't afford to hire as many people. There has been a decrease in unemployment rates since Harris, and since the Liberals haven't added much yet, the trend hasn't reversed itself. That's a good thing, and something the federal Conservatives would likely do a good job of.

The one and only area where I'm really worried about Conservative policy is the national daycare program. We need it, badly, and they'd cut it. Everything else - well, they're not going to touch gay marriage or abortion, they're more likely to put money INTO health care than take it out, and if they cut back some of the big-government initiatives of the Liberal term in Ottawa, that's all to the good.
