In Canada, you pay sales tax so Trudeau can cover interest on the debt. Interest charges = $54.1 billion GST = $54.1 billion
@franco_nomics It's time to return the GST rate to 7%.
@franco_nomics Cool... Cool cool cool..
@franco_nomics @Mcolton_jp It is worse. We are modern slaves for 4 to 7 months of the year when you add all the taxes. Govt is now >60% of our economy. Many, myself included, think that is too much.
@franco_nomics Too bad Harper dropped it to 5%. Could have used the extra 2% over that period to fund a bunch of social policy programs or pay down the debt. Too bad Harper also did not have any balanced budgets.
@franco_nomics Here’s Franco acting like Harper didn’t create the GST…. You CONServatives are one in the same.
@franco_nomics Franco, please tell me you know who brought in the GST!!! FFS
@franco_nomics This is leadership Franco.. #NeverVoteConservative
@franco_nomics I heard Thomas Mulcair say that exact point earlier ... Thomas Mulcair also pointed out that every penny paid in GST by every Canadian (from ocean to ocean to ocean - his words not mine) is the same as the interest on the deficit. Think about that for a bit.
