Aretha Franklin said it best: Who's Zoomin' Whom?
The Kingston Whig-Standard runs a Sun Media story by Antonella Artuso that quotes Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horvath [who's that; I know, I know, low, low, l o w profile outside the Horvath home] as saying that "Ignatieff seems to be flip-flopping all over the place. He needs to be clear and concise about where his party is going."
This rhetoric is all about the soon to be introduced HST, Harmonized Sales Tax, that will, good Lord willing, the creeks don't rise and the law passes both the provincial and federal assemblies, blend the provincial sales tax and the federal GST and take hold mid 2010. It is part of a large tax reform package that includes one-time rebates for most families and individuals, personal income tax cuts, extensive business tax breaks and a new blended 13% sales tax, extending the 8% provincial sales tax to gasoline, home heating and other items.
First of all, the NDP, against a tax?
Hello.
Number two, the federal Conservatives, who occasionally listen to great provincial leaders such as Premier Dalton McGuinty, are onside but the Hudakian Tories in Toronto are not.
And now Bronco Horvath wants Michael Ignatieff to turn on his provincial brethern.
No wonder I am confused.
