RJ, you have some very good points.

Instead of lowering the GST on everything and encouraging hyper-consumption.

It should be removed on some vital products that people need on a daily basis, while keeping the GST intact on the rest.

Example: unprocessed fruits and vegetables, milk, baby care products, raw meat, heck even bread


what do you guys think of that?

How will lowering the GST stimulate tourism? If you mean people will be more willing to come here because they don't pay as much sales tax I feel compelled to remind you that tourists can be reimbursed for 100% of the GST they pay while in Canada simply by filling out a form.

this ownt encourage "hyper consumption" but it will allow us to pay for such things as crazy gas and electricity price hikes (thanks again libs!)


That reason alone is why we should be getting our tax back.

It is their business to know and the information is readily availible to them.

Regardless, if you think people are discouraged from visiting here because of the GST you are woefully mistaken.

If the govt want to truly help the lower income family and whatnot, get rid of GST on basic necessity items. (like malek's idea)
