    Canadians: We're getting a GST cut!

    Harper vows to cut GST
    Conservative Leader Stephen Harper has promised to cut the GST if his party wins the federal election.


    Uh huh. Just like every other party leader since the 40s.

      since the 40's?? Didn't the GST get introduced in the 80's?

      But yeah, taxes being cut... that's one of the age old promises. And yet, our taxes continue to get higher and higher...

          nah harper would do it, anything to put less money into the french faggos pockets,

          if harper was in power then people in the east would actually have to get jobs.

          and that would just be terrible,

          i mean the words "frenchmen" and "work" definatley do not go together.

          o god heaven forbid all the fishermen out east couldnt just sit and spend welfare cheques for 6 months, o my that would be terrible!

                  Yep, my bad. I must be thinking of the US federal tax or something. I don't know where I got the 40s from.

                              I seem to remember it was a Conservative Gov't that gave us the GST. Liberals got elected because they said they would scrap it. Now Conservatives say the same thing.

                              These lying fuckers will tell you anything you want to hear to get into power.

                                              Liberals promised to cut it 12 years ago.

                                              Harper says it'll be cut by 1% immediately and another 1% over the next 5 years.

                                                  This is jus a gimick to get voters. A 1% decrease in the GST will cost the gov't $4,000,000,000 a year, there is no way that spending will increase enough to make that up.

                                                          it's cheaper for us to spend a lot once, then for you to spend a little 15 times on numerous referendums

                                                              Not to drop a big turd on your statement, but the GST replaced the MST.

                                                              To educate everyone who isn't aware, the GST levelled the playing field for Canadian manufacturers (figure out what the M in MST stood for yet?) because the GST was put across import as well as domestic product.

                                                              The Liberals ran on a platform of scrapping the GST and then proceeded to assplow the citizens for 12 years.

                                                              The last part of your statement is true though.

It's a tax that should have been abolished years ago. Besides, we'll just pay for it somewhere else. You know, like the gas tax that should have been gone years and years ago that we're still paying for...the options for the government are brutal.

                                                                              To educate everyone who isn't aware, the GST levelled the playing field for Canadian manufacturers (figure out what the M in MST stood for yet?) because the GST was put across import as well as domestic product.
                                                                              This is true, but the outcome was inflation. The tax burden once paid by the manufacturers and incorporated in prices was downloaded to the consumer, it made the tax transparent. I wouldnt have a problem with a do-all tax like the GST if there were no income tax - in fact I would have no problem paying 20% sales tax if there were no income tax. Its the way the government double-dips on taxes that kills me... they tax my after tax dollars... gasoline is the worst.. I use my after-tax dollars to buy gasonline that is taxed once and then re-taxed by the GST on top of the tax!!! aaarrrrrgh.

                                                                              Governments need to make up their minds - either let me keep ALL of the money that I earn and tax me on my consumption OR tax my income and dont make me pay variable taxes on pruchases.

Sure it'll save me a couple hundred bucks a year on my personal side, but it isn't that great an incentive.

The tax burden once paid by the manufacturers and incorporated in prices was downloaded to the consumer, it made the tax transparent. I wouldnt have a problem with a do-all tax like the GST if there were no income tax - in fact I would have no problem paying 20% sales tax if there were no income tax. Its the way the government double-dips on taxes that kills me... they tax my after tax dollars... gasoline is the worst.. I use my after-tax dollars to buy gasonline that is taxed once and then re-taxed by the GST on top of the tax!!! aaarrrrrgh.

                                                                                                      Governments need to make up their minds - either let me keep ALL of the money that I earn and tax me on my consumption OR tax my income and dont make me pay variable taxes on pruchases.

And i'm a frenchie which is even worse. Most quebecers are bitchy jealous pricks always asking for more without putting any effort. No wonder it's the most unionized part of north america. I wish Quebec would separate and leave Montreal in Canada.

                                                                                                                                                  I'm all for partition, leave those losers in their shitty little villages i don't care. Just keep Hull's region and most of montreal, we all know they're not the bulk of the separatists anyway.

Great deal!

                                                                                                                                                      Jack Layton should come out with a radical platform to nationalize our energy industry, and completely getting rid of income tax and GST. He'd win by a landslide and our country's economy would experience unprecedented growth.

                                                                                                                                                          I'm born and raised Canadian and I have ZERO problem with Quebec, never have, never will. Yes, there's that ongoing Canadiens/Maple Leafs rivalry and that whole seperation issue, but I am very glad we have Quebec - at the very least, it adds a little culture to a country with almost none.

                                                                                                                                                          And, hey, how many of us Canucks when we were in college drooled over a weekend trip to Quebec City or Montreal? I rest my case.
