While there are those decrying the GST reduction over the income/corporate taxes, there's still something to be said for actually reducing taxes in a meaningful way. That 1% cut represents 5.5 Billion back into the Canadian economy and not in the hands of government to blow on the usual government make-work projects. The more the conservatives hack off taxes in any form (whether it should be the more efficient income tax cut or the less efficient GST cut), the less there is for the Liberal's to blow when they get back into power. Also with the increased economic activity as a result of a reduction in the government take they might even collect more in taxes at the end of the day to reduce the debt further.
