2444...Jack Layton Goes Both Ways

He is vehemently against the HST in B.C. The Globe and Mail reports that "Mr. Layton sent a letter Thursday to Prime Minister Stephen Harper urging him to suspend imposition of the tax — which blends the GST with the provincial sales tax but applies it to more goods and services — until the referendum process is complete."

Not a peep when fellow Dip, Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter, upped the HST to 15 points in the Bluenose province.

Things that me go hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

  1. The BC and Ontario HST plans will transfer the overall tax burden business to consumers--that's why the NDP is opposes them.

    Changing the tax rate within a given tax structure is a completely different matter.

  2. Gotcha.

    If the consumers were already getting f*cked, no problem.

  3. What would this make Layton, bi-taxable?
