I wonder if they honestly think this is a good idea. I mean really. Not even Keynes thought you should raise taxes during a recession...

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced here in Jan, '91.

It wasn't pretty.

All those poor Albertans, not paying any sales tax at all until the introduction of the GST. ;)
