Government is the great fallacy where everyone endeavours to live at the expense of everyone else. Or something like that. -

I couldn't work in the media cause I couldn't sign my name behind such a misleading title.

Wrong again Cecil. You can be black and white. My opinion has a little more depth. Regardless I'm glad to see the women coming forward now. Hopefully they don't just tell the media. there is a prettu good article in the freepress today that addresses this.

He does. From the reports sounds like he might just like beating on women. None of them said he asked them to reciprocate

I'd like to strike him with a closed fist and see how he likes it

I like it too. It gives me a good reason to not have to go to Winnipeg to shop for anything with my wife I'm sure businesses in Steinbach, Selkirk, and Portage are in favor of it as well. It would only happen province-wide. Well I'm pretty sure the mayor of Winnipeg doesn't have the power to instituate a provincial sales tax. Also, we already have one of those that was recently raised. But seriously, am I misinformed on what a city sales tax would be, and why people think it would be a good idea? How is it different than the PST, which everyone is still mad about the NDPs raising? Correct, the Mayor does not have the power but he would ask the province to institute it. But it would be a tax that was collected province-wide, administered by the province but the money collected would go directly to the city's, towns, etc that it was collected in. The reason it would only happen province wide is for the reason mentioned - if it was only Winnipeg, people would shop outside the city. Plus, other cities and towns would benefit too. Bowman's idea was to eliminate residential property taxes and charge a 3% or 4% sales tax. For people like me, I'd spend less per year in taxes. The criticism is that it would impact low income people the most. But mechanisms would be built in to account for that. Its a fairer way to collect taxes. Right now, the burden is on homeowners to pay for many services everyone uses. not just home owners.

How is it different than the PST, which everyone is still mad about the NDPs raising? It's a better way to distribute taxes among the people that depend on Winnipeg even though they don't live here. People that live slightly outside the city and pay no city taxes but come here and use the infrastructure get taxed when they shop eat out etc. The tax isn't province wise, its collected by the province. Residents taxes are reduced by the extra taxes collected though the sales taxes. I like it because consumption taxes affect those who consume the most. I also like the fact that people that don't live in Winnipeg proper but come here often will be chipping in for the infrastructure that they are using. Of course it is total bullshit if residential taxes aren't reduced by the amount the new tax generates.

I like the city sales taxe idea. People who live outside wpg for the cheaper taxes but want to come here to shop should have to pay their fair share.
