As for PST versus income tax, a PST would be a regressive tax. Increase it 1% on the top three tax brackets, that should be enough. I say that as someone who would get ensnared in such an increase, and I’m okay with that.

I'd greatly prefer consumption taxes over income taxes. They're efficient, and you can structure them to avoid the regressive aspect.
