Canada is the most educated country in the world (highest percentage of college graduates). Sure it is getting more expensive, but more and more people are going so I don't see why you need to blast up everyone's taxes, particularly the HST which hurts the poor more than anyone. |
The HST hasn't been "blasted up". HST combines the GST and provincial sales tax and from what I have read is a better/fairer tax than what it replaced.
I don't think the HST hurts the poor at all... the HST isn't charged on essentials like groceries or rent, and low income taxpayers get an HST rebate to offset the HST they pay on other items.
