I mean, I like being given stuff too...but the cost is so incredibly high (ie 50B in debt) and people are simply glossing over that fact. Absolutely blows my mind.

“People different than me think differently than me, and it blows my mind.”
That’s basically politics. People have different views of what’s important, the better approach would be to actually try to understand why those people believe what they believe. UCP supporters alluding to NDP supporters being financially incompetent is no better than NDP supporters alluding to UCP supporters being bigots.
Trying to understand each other would also do a lot to remove a bunch of the derision, and would encourage less of this type behaviour in politics.
I, for one, strongly believe a large PST is in order. Some people want even less tax than we have now, and CERTAINLY not a PST. It doesn’t “blow my mind,” it’s just reality. And it’s ok.
