Now, if you're wondering why the pols on Kyle's friend list are a bit Tory-heavy, its because Mr. Seeback ran as Tory candidate in Brampton West back in '08, and indeed will be running again for them next time around. So, another Tory abandoning the Harmonized Sales Tax.
So here is my question: what is the federal Tory position on the HST? The plan is a 2008 budget initiative of the federal government, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty seems to be behind it (depending on the day), but on the other hand we have back-benchers and candidates fleeing in all directions and even the Prime Minister's spokesman seems to want to fob the whole thing off on those provinces that have entered into a harmonization deal with the Feds . How can any of the other provincial leaders contemplating such a move not wonder if they will be simply hung out to dry when the going gets a little tough politically?
h/t Buckets.
It's time for those Provincial leaders to come out to the media & say they are doing it because of the incentives offered by the Con govt. to implement the HST harmonization - & more than once. This is ridiculous how Harper & thugs just run away from any kind of negativity towards anything they have a hand in. It's the usual "blame the other guy" mantra. It's so expected from the general public IS catching on, finally.
ReplyDeleteThat last sentence should read like this:

Note that in his profile Mr. Seeback claims to be a fan of Stephen Harper (no surprise), Rona Ambrose (we probably all know what that's about) and Rob Anders. I wonder how long that third one will last.
ReplyDeleteYes the Conservatives are a tax and spend party that is hopelessly incompetent and don't really care about canada or its people. However, as the latest poll number suggest the Canadian voter are even more incompetent in their ability to see what is going on. Exactly how bad does the government have to get before the people see it??
