It still hasn't happened yet.

Combined that with the absolute snail pace (if you can call it that) work appears to be moving with the Harmnization (remember, I work for the Ministry of Revenue), and other political factors, I'm almost convinced that McGuinty was told to go along with Harmonization by the Federal Liberals, so they can make it a 'elect us and it goes' item for a potential Summer election.

They do that (promise to stop the Harmonization), the Federal Liberals will win Ontario
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

Some items which are currently exempt from either the GST or PST would now get whacked with the full 13% combined tax. The big hits will be gasoline, electricity, and heating bills.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either. :P
