Harper Shows Some Snark
September 30, 2009 · By Adam Dyck
The following is from a Question Period duel between Harper and Layton.
“When I was a boy, my father used to say that I should work on things that I am good at. The NDP is not good at fighting taxes. The NDP has opposed cutting the federal sales tax. The NDP opposed reducing business taxes. It opposed our cuts to personal taxes. It opposed our cuts to seniors. The NDP never saw a tax it did not like and never saw a tax it did not want to hike. Everybody knows that.”
What is truly hilarious, however, is Layton’s lame duck come back.
Mr. Speaker, what the Prime Minister is not so good at is saying that with a straight face.
Just thought I might share that with you. Have a good night, everyone.
Of course, Stephen Harper’s point is somewhat undercut by the New Democratic Party’s plan to eliminate income taxes for small business.
Hmmm, is PM Harper goading Layton to take a wild lunge at an election. Could get interesting. Cheers.
Right Devin, cut small business tax and raise the GST…….the only tax low income Canadians have to pay is the GST.
Dippers would raise it.
Really taking care of the most vulnerable, eh.
Raise the GST and make everyone pay for the 14% of families that use public daycare.
Or will Dippers tax the hell out of BC, Alberta and Sask oil and gas…..do Dippers have a grip on how much oil and gas revenues BC depends on?
Thanks to Stelmach and the royalty increase, a huge amount of drilling went West into Northern BC.
