Slimy Jew Ignatieff going to try Chretien's trick
Pogrom
saying he'll kill it once he gets into office. Guess what? Chretien
didn't and neither will the elitist eastern urban JEW.
Joe
You ignore the facts and the law to try and make a racist point.
Chretien did not say he would kill the GST. He did say it would be
replaced. The government needed the revenue.
The Liberal Red Books stated, "A Liberal government will replace the
GST with a system that generates equivalent revenues, is fairer to
consumers and to small business, minimizes disruption to small
business, and promotes federal-provincial fiscal cooperation
and harmonization." (1)
The HST was the Liberal answer to the GST. Some provinces signed on
and some did not. All that the Liberals could do was encourage the
provinces to join in but they could not force them.
It must have been a good idea as Harper is now in the middle of paying
two more provinces to join the system.

Is that why Sheila Copps resigned?? The HST did not replace the GST -
it just merged the Federal and Provincial taxes together! The GST
exists still to this day - except the Conservatives reduced it from 7%
to 5%! I am sure all you socialists would rather have a 20 or 25%
value-added tax as the do in the UK, Iceland and a lot of the EU
countries? LIEberals lie, what else is new??

That famous "Consider it gone" video clip was played over and over
and over, but this seems to be not enough for Joe. And then Copps
resigning over the failed promise. Inconsequential, right, Joe?

Yes. Great shift in the fiscal policy by one position in the Latin
alphabet. That essentially all libbies are intellectually capable of.
I guess that's good enough for Joes of this world.

I doubt he can. This is, after all, the provincial initiative.
Joe
Shelia Copps went farther than the Red Book. She said she would
resign if it was not killed. It was not, she resigned (reluctantly),
ran in the by election, and won.

The GST was to be gone and replaced with something else. The
replacement required provincial cooperation and the feds did not get
if from every province. Shelia promised more and could not deliver.
She resigned and won the by eleciton.

I guess that ignoring the facts as you do is the best you can do.

Once she resigned, she should have stayed that way and not run again.
She cost a whole pile of money with her stupidity.
