Any thinking person can see that the opinion expressed by the minority of persons supporting this tax seems to be by those who obviously can afford to pay an extra seven-per-cent tax on almost everything including services.
Being a senior on a fixed income puts me in a far different position and will stop me from spending money on things which are going to end up costing me more money.
For someone to say that this tax is “revenue neutral” and not going to cost me any more money is ridiculous!
The last time I looked Canada was a democracy, so I certainly hope that we get an opportunity to have a vote this time in whether or not we have to pay yet another tax.
Surely this is the time to tell government that we have had enough!
