The exception is your lawyer. Mulroney was a lawyer as are a lot of conservitive candidates. I always found it interesting they made a special clause that stated lawyers dont have to charge GST.

I get a refund every year from every product or service I pay GST on, whether it was accountanting services, computers, software, even gas on my car. And seeing that I was recently fully audited they accepted my GST claims. In fact, they found I made an error and forgot to claim the GST on the base price of my car so I got an additional $1500 or so back. I have never paid GST for any product or service I bought in Canada in over 6 years.
