Hey Canadians!
Just a reminder the GST dropped to 5% as of today. No more excuses, get out there and spend! Too bad they won't do anything about provincial sales tax. Death and taxes...oh and hangovers......Happy New Years

It drops down to 4% next year!
They need to drop GST completely. The sales tax up there is still higher than what I pay in TX. And the currency difference is a killer as well. I don't mind the parity, but it sucks when everything is more expensive in Canada. |

Big whoop on the 1% reduction.
If you buy a car for $40,000 you save a whole $400. Down to watches , you spend $6000 save $60 New TV $2400 save $24 That doesn't really want to make me run out & spend money.

don't forget the apparant income tax reduction that kicked in today also.
The taxes went down, but CPP & EI go up, so the average Canadian will be giving the gov't about $50 more this year than last.
