Yeah...though the actual amount means little to the average Canadian, the proposal will stick with them. (2% sales tax? not a lot until added up or making a major purchase, though i hated the thing from day 1 as it was nothing more than a tax grab from a power hungry Mulroney)
Harper one-upped Martin on this one. I read somewhere that psychologically it was a stroke of genius, in keeping the Cons in voters minds in a meaningful way.
However, its still very early and I suspect we will see many more of these kinds of things as time marches on.
