In July the BC provincial government and the Ontario provincial government are adding a new tax - the HST - that will increase the rate we pay on lots of stuff.
In Ontario, the government is sending everyone a cheque for a $1000. (I think. That's what I heard, anyway.)
A couple years ago the BC government did something similar with the carbon tax.
This is such an obvious ploy to buy-off the voters. If the government truly wanted to help us save money on the tax, lower the tax rate. Or give a 60 day grace period. Or, best yet, don't even bring in new taxes.
Why spend all that money sending money back to the people who had to send money to the government in the first place?
Sure wasn't any $1000.00
