This is an interview I conducted with Perth-Wellington Liberal MPP John Wilkinson. He is also Ontario's Minister of Revenue. Ontario and British Columbia harmonized their Provincial Sales Tax with the federal Goods and Services Tax on July 1st. This is a move I support for a number of reasons. However, the tax has been sold to Ontarians using very disingenous rhetoric. The McGuinty Government has even suggested this would create 591,000 jobs over ten years. There's a lot in this interview but my favourite part happens between 4:52 and 6:37. I asked John about this claim and pointed out that, if true, it would completely eradicate unemployment in Ontario. He goes on to say that this will be the case and why. If you don't believe me, listen to the interview. According to the government, the HST along with the other tax changes will lead to full employment in Ontario. Given that this has never been achieved in history, it's reasonable to assume that this is a slightly inflated claim. Give the interview a listen and learn. Ethan Rabidoux Less
