You'd think at least funeral costs would be tax exempt, IMO.

^ To be honest, funerals are where you can easily make money. Technically no one really bargains since everyone is so sad already.

...and everyone dies, so guaranteed income! The government combined the two immutable facts of life: death & taxes.

call me high or whatever,
but I think the government should legalized weed and sell it at an inflated price instead of adding a 6% mandatory tax.
The revenue generated from weed should be good, but might not be comparable to the HST.

How about food?
So gas prices will go up even more?
I better renew my Costco card before the hst.
HST is pathetic. Is there anything that will stay 5% GST only?

So the gas will hike up twice as much due to the combination of the carbon tax and HST.

That was killer.

OK, gas right now: (After HST in Bold)
(112.3 cents/litre) --> 119.7
(GST: 5.3) --> GST/HST: 12.7
Federal Excise Tax: 10.0
Provincial Fuel Tax: 8.5
Provincial Carbon Tax: 3.33
Urban Transit Tax: 15.0 Total Taxes: 49.5
An annual carbon tax increase makes it even more.
