Income tax was a measure introduced to pay for ww2, I believe.
WWI actually.
How do you think Chretien got three terms?
Term 1: I'll eliminate the GST!
Term 2: No, really, I'll eliminate the GST!
Term 3: The Conservatives have a hidden abortion agenda! (that's their standby when all else fails.)
I remember things exactly as you. Then they harmonized the tax and it was permanent.
