Do you think that Bernard Lord using Equalization to give middle class guys like me a break on electricity costs by rebating my HST falls within the ‘spirit’ of Equalization?
Do you think that cheeses Daulton McGuinty off when Bernard Lord can use Equalization dollars to give tax breaks that he can’t afford (like the HST rebate)?
Imagine the political benefit to Daulton if he could rebate the PST on all electricity in Ontario.
But he can’t afford to.
