Comment: What a mega waste of borrowed money! All Trudeau needed to do was talk to former PM Jean Chretien on the airplane about it. We all remember how Chretien killed the GST. He is the expert. Harper actually kept more promises. Stupid ones like the gun registry and wheat board come to mind. The GST is something Trudeau never promised to touch, but the party owes us closure. It would actually help get the economy back to abolish GST and cancel some obsolete programs like the RRSP disaster. 

With Carbon taxes planned, the GST promise Chretien made could finally be honoured. Why do they call politician honourable when they're not?
