Well just be glad you dont live in the uk
Our transport system and general infastrucuture is callapsing around our ears after years of lack of investment in goverment run activities
We pay more for our petrol than any country in the world, apart from germany, and our disposable income is the lowest in europe
We pay the most for our goos, and earn the least, hehe
Beat that
The Uk is gonna up if something aint done soon, but tax us to the mooon and back, and poor money into public services and hope something will happen
Someone needs to have a big shake up, but tony blair is too soft to do that
Oh if only everyone studied A Level economics!
You would all be as boring as me :p |

| Im just glad I live in Alberta so I dont have to pay PST on top of GST, sometimes living here is pretty great. The oil industry is always booming here in calgary and out local economy is doing pretty good, but as far as canada is concerned we dont exist cuz we are west of ontario. |

GST means The Goods and Services Tax
aka: The Gouge and Steal Tax
Personally, I think higher taxation for more social benefits is a good thing, but I'm a leftist... |

| You people react TOO QUICKLY.......the story was that a MONTREAL newspaper heard that the liberals WERE CONSIDERING IT!....not going to make it law, not going to do it. Just discussion..not law......remember the hell that broke loose when they put the Goods and Service Tax to 7%. Calm down, no america is needed in canada...(i'm dual citzen) and canada is fine as is. Move to alberta...there is no pst.....so then it would only 10% (even if they brought it in) |

yeah, it is that bad. america is trying to take us over, as well as the whole world, under organizations with names like the WTO, the United Nations, NATO, etc.
world domination is the clear goal of the USA.
now, it's really not as bad as when germany tried to do it, at least the USA is not killing people that get in it's way. oh wait, it did, that was afghanistan. well, at least it's not preparing to "premptively attack in self defense" sovereign countries that they disagree with. oh wait, they are that's iraq.
i have no problem with americans as a whole, or even america itself. it's the insistence that EVERYONE be like americans that pisses me off. |

ouch.
ok, heres the facts:
reports by La Presse state that Ottawa was considering raising the GST to 10 per cent to help fund health care. The Finance Ministry and the prime minister denied the report.
now, this would increase our tax on stuff to 18%.
if you ask me that is just stupid, dont they get enough money when they take 50% of your paycheck for income tax?
They should really be more focused on how tax money is spent. They waste so much its unbelievable. |
