History of the GST
Jan. 1
The Conservative government's GST cut is nothing short of a joke and shames us as Canadians. While nearly two-thirds of the people on this planet live on less than $2 a day, here's Stephen Harper smiling while announcing a tax cut that will save the average Canadian a couple of bucks purchasing what most likely will be more junk we don't need. All the while his government quietly decreases its contribution to foreign aid.
This GST cut could effectively save thousands of lives in countries not as fortunate as ours. Our country's wealth is unprecedented. It's high time we woke up and proved to the world that we see the lives of distant others as valuable as our own. Shame on Harper and his government.

it smarts to be on the receiving end of the criticism doesn't it.
The gst cut, was simply about buying votes. Period. Every economist in the country has said it was a bonehead move.
I cold say it's amusing to watch as your favorite party continues to make stupid moves and watch you try to minimize it, or I could say it's a sad day for Canadians to have another government that makes stupid decisions based on gaining support.
I think I'll go with the latter.
See if you can glean any opportunities from this comment to get your rocks off with some inane clever comeback that serves no other purpose.
