It is the feedback mechanism that makes democracy work though. Whomever represents your area is obligated to be the voice of your people. When 70% (an overwhelming majority) oppose legislation, it should like you say, influence the decision. This isnt a 50/50 split. |
Tru nuff... Sucks they don't always listen to polls.... It's easy to answer a phone call from Leger and Leger, but it takes more to get outside and hold up a sign and pace around for a few hours which delivers more of a message. A small percentage of those 70% would be willing to picket, make a phone call, or write a letter. |

i guess the government wants to know where their dissenters are. Kind of irrelevant on the surface |

It not like the government can't find this information themselves.
It is completely irrelevant unless they want confirmation he lives in the riding...but even then who gives a flying butt monkey....just answer the question. |

I don't mind giving them my information, I just dont want to be swamped with Liberal propaganda. I think I made it quite obvious I'm not a friend of the party. |

hey, so wasn't this hugely supported/sponsored by the federal Conservative government? Wasn't it Flaherty who was one of the main people trying to sell this to the provinces? Aren't the Feds paying somewhere around $6 billion to B.C and Ontario directly in relation to this taxation change?
what are your thoughts on that, resident Conservatives? |

As far as im aware, it was encouraged that the taxes were to be harmonized and lowered to compensate for this change just like how they did it in eastern canada. Of course, liberals being liberals, they decided no tax breaks (unless you buy tampons) and see a nice big tax grab.
I understand the theory behind the blended tax and business growth. But where it fails is by not being revenue neutral. Also, its not appropriate during a recovery. Furthermore at 13%, business will suffer when consumers dont have as much buying power.
10% would be fair for everyone as well as an exemption on gasoline and heating fuel.
But im not holding my breath with McFinky. |

Dont forget about double double's. |

| Since i dont buy tampons, coffee or childrens clothes, maybe mcfinky should think about exempting gasoline which everyone buys either directly or indirectly. |

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.
Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears..
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me
To my doom...'
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
It’s time to apply
The inheritance tax.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, and had a large middle class. |
