The GST Fiasco

So how many Canadians know the real truth behind the GST cut? How many truly believe that they will be paying less taxes when this goes through? How we’ve all been had. Not only will our personal exemption amount be going back up, and the tax bracket expanded to include those with lower income, but now it seems that any GST cut will be met with a raise in PST. According to many pundits, this was the idea all along. This was part of Harper’s idea to download some of the power to the provinces. Funny how that little part never got mentioned in the election campaign. Funny how once again, our ‘Liberal’ media never made this part public.

Guess I won’t be saving that dollar on my new TV after all……

Democracy, American Style

They’ve done it again. The Bush administration has preached democracy around the world, even used it as a pretense for war in Iraq (after all other excuses fell flat on their faces). Meanwhile, outside the public eye, they continue to display the exact opposite. After a democratic election provided the Hamas movement with a majority in Palestine, the US is now threatening to cut off assistance to the Palestinians. Now don’t get me wrong. I do not necessarily agree with the Hamas movement, but that does not give me the right to harm them for voting the way they felt they should. I guess they only accept democracy as long as you vote for the person they want.

Kinda reminds me of the CPC over here
