QUESTION:::: Did the Conservatives bring in the G.S.T?

Yes and no answer. No ifs, ands, or buts.

"Did the Liberals promise to abolish the GST?

[Riverwind]

QUESTION:::: Did the Conservatives bring in the G.S.T?

The GST was perhaps the most important tax reform in the last 30 years. Mulroney deserves a lot of credit for sticking to his guns and passing it despite mindless opposition.

[THELIBERAL]

See proof they cannot answer a simple question!

Typical Conservative supporters!

[August1991]

Who brought in the Manufacturer's Sales Tax? Who raised it to 12%? Who abolished it?

(And who is so Americanized that they can only post in three second sound-bites?)

This is not the question asked in this thread! If you want answers to other questions start another thread!

Now would you like to take a stab at answering the question for this thread?

Notice how Conservative types avoid the question by asking other questions.

Did the Liberals replace the GST as they vowed to in the 1993 election?

NO

I would suggest this as nothing more than further evidence that THELIBERAL is nothing more than a troll looking to start trouble. I can't recall him ever posting anything other than taunts.

QUESTION:::: Did the Conservatives bring in the G.S.T?

Yes!

And after almost 15 years, you'd think people would finally get around to recognizing what a wise policy it was.

Would Paul Martin have been able to balance the budget without the GST? Fat chance.

Would Canadian businesses be able to compete in the international marketplace if the GST had not replaced the MFT? No.

Has the GST caused any of the harmful effects that its critics claimed it would? Not a one.

Let's face it: the Liberals would abolish the GST tomorrow if they could. But they won't, because they know that ultimately the GST was the right policy. Why don't you Liberal types give Mr Mulroney and his party some credit for replacing the punitive MFT with a transparent and equitable system.

He actually did answer the question in a slightly roundabout way.

I could not have said it better. Good show.

[THELIBERAL]

Did you notice not one Conservative supporter could answer the question with a simple yes or no which I asked for they just had to ramble on about this or that!

This thread although simple in context it does speak volumes of just what Conservatives are really like!

They just cannot admit to anything the Conservative party has done without trashing the Liberal's policies!

A simple yes or no answer they cannot handle BECAUSE it would in fact be dealing with the truth!

The truth here is the G.S.T. was brought in by the Mulroney Conservative government and he appointed several senators to get it passed quicky through the senate!

THAT IS THE TRUTH THOSE ARE THE FACTS!

[PocketRocket]

The problem with this thread, and so many others, is that instead of opening up a political issue for discussion, it is simply attacking a large segment of the people on this "discussion" forum under the thin guise of political discussion.

If I may answer the thread-opening question; YES.

If I may also answer the question posed in the second post; YES.

The Conservatives brought in the GST, which I am not crazy about, but at least they did so openly and honestly.

The Liberals promised to get rid of it if they were voted in.

Well, they've been in for what, 14 years now???

Not seeing much progress on that front.

So, THE LIBERAL, to put your own question back to you with a twist, please answer my following question without any riders, simply answer "A" or "B".

What is worse;

A )) someone who makes unpopular decisions, and does so honestly,

or

B )) someone who breaks their promises to a nation for political gain???

[PocketRocket]

Well, THE LIB, I know you're still here right now, and you're still posting like crazy in this forum.

But you're not so quick to respond to this.

I guess you don't like answering a question that puts you in a lose-lose situation.

Perhaps you should keep that in mind in the future before setting up such questions.

[shoop]

Hey LIB quit being such a dink and answer the questions!

[THELIBERAL]

RE::Perhaps you should keep that in mind in the future before setting up such questions.

Perhaps you should learn how to answer a question with yes or no as asked for before you go berating me my friend!

If you are unable to answer the question with a simple yes or no as asked then may I suggest you ignore the thread altogether!

Or can't you even do that?

[THELIBERAL]

RE::Hey LIB quit being such a dink and answer the questions!

Name calling is not allowed here! As for your questions start another thread if you want other questions asked. If I feel like answering them I will respond to them if I don't want to answer them I'll simply ignore them.

If you want me to answer my own question in this thread the answer is::: YES!

Did the Conservatives bring in the G.S.T?

Of course they did. It was a creation of the Mulroney government. It was wrong, and as a true conservative, I'm able to admit it. However, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. It's been kept in existence by the liberal government, who promised to do away with it. So there's plenty of blame to go around. It looks as though, the only way to get rid of it, is to elect a conservative government, because both the liberals and NDP are in love with the tax.

QUESTION:::: Did the Conservatives bring in the G.S.T?

Yes!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I would say that's a pretty clear yes. Perhaps you liberals need to clear your clouded minds and actually read what is said.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

First, I answered your question with a "YES".

Or maybe you didn't catch that.

Then I went on to answer another question with another "YES".

Perhaps you missed that also.

Then I posed two questions to you, which you have still failed to address.

I fulfilled your request, ie; answering with a simple yes or no.

You have still failed to answer mine, other than dithering and squirming your way out of giving an answer.

You accuse only right-wingers of this tactic.

Pot calling kettle black????

Why exactly do you say its wrong? If they didn't do that, where would the extra revenue come from?
