Posted by:<\/strong> CC Roller on August 11, 2012, 4:18 pm<\/p>\n \tHow true. We in Canada have most of the same taxes (May be a different name) but also no Provincial sales taxes but we do have HST ( Harmonized Sales Tax) . The HST differs for province to province but in Ontario it is 13% (ie 5% federal and 8% Provincial). Any the says no sales tax LOL<\/p>\n \tAnd we have been our own country for 145 years.<\/p>\n \tYes Politicians………………..<\/p>\n \tCC Roller<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The next time you hear a politician use the Word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending YOUR tax money.
