Reducing a consumption tax is pretty much sheer stupidity. A consumption tax is the fairest form of taxation. rebusrankin, sweep the leg and Piggy 1 2 1
SpeedFlex27 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Posted August 22, 2019 How come people who complain about a sales tax will happily pay a carbon tax? A tax is a tax is a tax.

blue_gold_84 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Posted August 27, 2019 https://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/election-leaders-1.5260586 Quote The "vote for me because the other guy is scary," nana-nana-poo-poo stuff I just find useless. That Trudeau has family wealth and privilege, and that his previous job was teaching drama at a high school, are not serious considerations, either, any more than the fact that Scheer has lived in government housing for half of his political career and his previous job was selling insurance. Nailed it. This upcoming federal election is going to be a lame one. JCon 1
nate007 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Posted August 27, 2019 Love this idea. If taxes are paying for your healthcare, then there should be extra taxes on the things that you voluntarily consume that lead to you requiring more healthcare. https://www.chrisd.ca/2019/08/27/manitoba-green-party-sweet-drinks-sweet-drinks-tax/#.XWV3E_lKhpg Wanna-B-Fanboy 1

MB. is the last province that still has this - we are literally a dinosaur. I don't think any of us will pay less taxes overall (ha ha) but this will lead to more equity in educational funding.
