I think part of the problem is government doesn't want to make choices/decisions that may not get them elected again. Any party that puts GST back to 7% is not getting re-elected. Any party that increases certain tax brackets, isn't getting elected again. Governments are too interested in pandering to their so called base, making idealogical decisions, and trying to ensure they get elected again. This happens with the Liberals, the UPC, the NDP. There's examples across the board. And then there's the fact that Federal government will do X and provincial governments want to do Y, and so opppose X.
Don't even get me started on the whole performance politics garbage.
