This is just another cash grab. Just like the gas tax, carbon tax, transit tax, what excuses will they think of next?

A lot of government-embellished, candy-coated talk here, but at least it is good to see that low-income families will receive a refund cheque to compensate for the HST. This is a piece of information  ...

The so-called rebate was already reported on every media.

They need to learn from Hong Kong/Singapore where the lower taxes are able to attract more foreign investors.

Have you even looked at the level and quality of social services that is available in Canada and in Hong Kong? Think a little before blurting out your nonsense la, ng goi~

Hong Kong's quality of social services is among the best in the world. You can claim that Canada's level is higher, but at what cost? The government here is in debt at all levels. In HK, the max tax rate is about 15%, but only the highest income earners pay that rate. Most people pay less than 10%, if at all. Here, the HST is already 12% and that is on your after tax disposable income.
