You mentioned the idea of increasing the GST in order to fund municipal priorities. Do you acknowledge that Canadian taxpayers are tapped out, that they can't pay any more? Whether it's property taxes or consumption taxes or income tax or other business taxes, there's really only one taxpayer. It doesn't matter which tax you raise, you're still taking money out of the pocket of the person who earned it and putting it into the coffers of government.
Do you not acknowledge that taxpayers are paying enough already?
