    Right? This isn’t team sports…the conservatives losing is good…but the liberals winning isn’t.

    We have to pay attention to what’s actually going on…which has been a continuous slide to the right since…and this is going to enrage Liberals…but since Mulroney who was the last Prime Minister (as abysmal as he was for his trade deals and social policy etc) who actually cared about using taxation as a tool to pay for things: like it or not the GST was good for Canada (broadly speaking, I would have much preferred the existing mechanisms been used, rather than an overlay added that was a pretext for the removal of corporate and luxury taxes).

      Good for “Canada” (ie the neocolonialist state that exists to facilitate the transfer of wealth from natural resources and the public to private ownership) and, as a regressive tax, bad for the poor. Yep, that’s exactly the Canada I know.
