After Brian Mulroney fucked the country, she took over in the interim for several months. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 20, 18:35 23
- well... the free trade agreement was probably one of the best things to happen to the Canadian pretty much ever. - mafic Dec 20, 18:42 14
  - I was a big booster of Mulroney during his time as P.M. But in retrospect, his entire term can be boiled down to three letters: G.S.T. -- nm - Grand Mop Tarkin Dec 20, 18:59 9
    - which replaced a hidden, higher tax, and with refunds for lower-income earners - Reagen Dec 20, 19:05 3
      - I'd rather it have stayed hidden. It's the psychology of having to pay for an item and then calculating the gov't's share that really kills it for me. -- nm - Grand Mop Tarkin Dec 20, 19:19 2
        
        That promotes tax and tax. Without the input tax credit, it would get added at every step of the supply chain. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 20, 19:26
        
        that's silly. I'd rather have more money. -- nm - Reagen Dec 20, 19:20
    - Well, that's probably a good thing too. A value-added tax is basically necessary for a well-funded government. - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 20, 19:03 4
      - Wait, wut? -- nm* - The US Dec 20, 19:16 2
        
        "The Us" was pretty funny. I had to read it twice. :-) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 20, 19:17 1
        
        Stupid autocorrect -- nm - iSpam Dec 20, 20:13
      - I'm pretty sure I was making money on it back when I was in school with the rebate. -- nm - Reagen Dec 20, 19:15
  - (Canadian economy that is). - mafic Dec 20, 18:46 3
    - I strongly maintain that Chretien's legacy will look less and less strong as historians take a run at it. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 20, 19:25
    - I don't even remember P.E.T. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 20, 18:50 1
      - the national energy plan kills him for me. pillaged Alberta to support Ontario. -- nm - mafic Dec 20, 19:07
- You mean set up the country with the tools that enabled Paul Martin and Jean Chretien to balance the budget and set up fifteen years of fiscal bliss? - Name Withheld By Request Dec 20, 18:37 4
  - dude was crooked 25 hours of the day but his policy decisions get a horrible rap. -- nm - Reagen Dec 20, 18:42 1
    - I'd agree with this. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 20, 18:48
  - hilarious -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 20, 18:40
  - fine. "Had his way with the country." Better? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 20, 18:39
- (supposedly fucked) -- nm - Reagen Dec 20, 18:37 2
  - Thank you. (Went to bed last night. Assume you don't want to resume that conversation?) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 20, 18:38 1
    - not really, other than to say that a lot of people aren't really engaged in the d2d of the political process - Reagen Dec 20, 18:41
she was only PM for a few months. -- nm - Reagen Dec 20, 18:35
