Ann M. Smith reports on a GST help line with callers puzzled by the 9 percent tax. Critics say Canada’s GST mirrors no other country and questions arise about exemptions, rate hikes, and the government’s reform aims while public polling shows three to one opposition.
A survey of editorials from Canadian weeklies shows strong opposition to the Goods and Services Tax. Editors warn of rising costs and bureaucratic burden, urging action and even calling for a taxpayer revolt as public opinion coalesces against GST.
Manitoba debates nitrates and farm pesticides amid claims of tainted Shoal Lake water and farm chemical alarm. Experts note many nitrate sources and urge cautious interpretation, warning media sensationalism harms understanding.
A Manitoba reader argues the federal budget and new Goods and Services Tax will cost Manitobans over $1 billion annually. He cites cuts to CFB Portage, UIC, VIA rail layoffs, rising home heating costs, and tax policy shifts favoring corporations. He urges constituents to contact MP and oppose the GST.
The narrator recalls a 1920s planted Joyce apple orchard on their land. Despite aging trees producing hundreds of kilograms yearly, they resist chemical farming, preferring a natural balance with pollinators, birds, groundhogs, and insects.
