This day can't come soon enough to kick these liberals out
GST/HST Holiday
- Thread starter Relax
- Start date
Mr Axe the Tax voting against (temporarily) axing a (different) tax?
I know it's an attempt to buy votes. I know it's an attempt to put the opposition parties in awkward positions. It's apparently a horrible mess for retailers due to GST/HST remaining applicable for some things and not for others, and I'd rather the whole thing didn't happen. Ford's rebate cheques also.
Meh.

It’s an attempt to buy your vote with your own money, ultimately we are paying for this.I’m getting a little tired of the Liberal party treating this country like their own personal ATM.
With the cost to administrate the cheques into hands it's going to cost more than $250 from everyone to give some people $250.
Remember every dollar spent on public servants or consultants drives GDP higher and is a win according to the Libs. With logic like that we are doomed.
Reminder, Conservatives in charge in Ontario ($250 cheques), Liberals kinda-in-charge-with-a-minority federally (GST holiday). Don't put the blame on any one party ... and the solution isn't with any one party, either. They're all overflowing full of dung.
You mean like the duty free shops?
It's also the Marie Antoinette syndrome, "If they have no bread let them eat cake"
The poorest of our lot don't buy wine, chips, restaurant meals and snacks because every cent they have goes out for basic groceries and rent. For me it means I can treat myself to a slightly better bottle of wine (That my doctor bans me from drinking)
The $250 can go to anything the poor choose but the tax holiday should be on winter clothing, books ( Preferably on how to overthrow governments) and necessities of life.
Groceries would be a better target but since they aren't directly taxed, things get complicated.
I suggest this one.
I thought they were worried about this:
Black is scary and evil.
Holy fack what a list.
TLDR
I go by this
3.2 Firearm Deaths in Canada
Over the past 25 years, there have been an average of 1,300 firearms deaths per year. Of the 1,125 firearm deaths in 1995, about 80.1 percent or 911 were classified as suicides; there were 145 homicides, representing 12.4 percent; and 49 unintentional deaths, for 4.3 percent of the total (Hung, 1997). These percentages have remained relatively stable over the past decade.
In 1995, there was a lower rate of firearm deaths per 100,000 population than there had been in the previous 25 years. In 1970, the rate per 100,000 population was 5.2. It increased to a peak of 7.2 in 1977, and declined steadily to a rate of 3.8 in 1995 (Hung, 1997).
How many of the homicides were drug turf related and should be drug related as the primary cause?
The above numbers are old and the new ones higher but the percentage of gun homicides indicates we have a mental health crisis and a drug problem, not a gun crime issue.

Why are we even looking at these one time temporary solutions? Once the money is spent or the break is over, reality sets in.
This reeks of desperation from both feds and provincial governments. Let’s get back to policies that work as they should to improve affordability and improve the economy. Canada has a lot to offer the world and we have the businesses and people to do it.
Instead of reacting to things, we should be proactive in setting us up for success.

As a start, government spending is inflationary (temporary or not). If they spend less, interest rates drop more and that makes a bigger change for ~60% of canadians and it literally saves the government money so they need less taxes. Spending is fun though and you only need to convince the dumbest 26% to vote for you to win.
