Obviously you have not read Will Ferguson's book "Bastards and Boneheads", it classifies the best and the worst PMs historically.
Read much?

This thread is not a book review. Are we all supposed to have telepathic powers to know what's on your reading list and automatically makes sense of your ridiculous trollings?
ps. what else do you call an individual who drops in once a month to contribute to only one portion of the forum with an unchanged siren call. That too you reguarly cut and paste your quotes from your contributions to the Globe and Mail comments forums. You insult us with your unoriginal thoughts.

Actually that was/is one of the GST's strengths. It replaced the hidden and tough to administer manufacturers sales tax with a visible point of sale model. A visible tax is difficult to raise, the opposite is true with an integrated or hidden tax... have I missed something in your post?

That's not at all why the GST was created. It replaced the Manufacturers Sales Tax, which was only applied to some goods, and only to goods manufactured in Canada, letting imported goods have an advantage over domestic production. Whether the GST is included in the price displayed or added afterward makes no difference in theory, and likely little in practice. I point to fuel excise taxes. Even though the tax is 'hidden' in the price of fuel, there is very little political will to change that tax, even though it has been the same (in Ontario at least) for well over a decade.

Gas taxes are a poor example. Gas is so heavily taxed that it has become a touchstone in this age of very high gas prices. Any increase in gas taxes will probably be worse for the government than say an income tax increase.
