I am still pissed that the conservatives promised to reduce the PST- which they did, three years later... for political reasons... that cost me roughly $3000+ and most Manitobans $2400 ($800/yr as per conservative estimates for the average manitoban). **** pallister. 

Reducing a consumption tax is pretty much sheer stupidity.  A consumption tax is the fairest form of taxation.

    The "vote for me because the other guy is scary," nana-nana-poo-poo stuff I just find useless.
