GOVERNMENT GREED

I went to purchase some calendars from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Sweepstakes the other day, only to find that you now have to pay “HST” on the purchase amount for the calendars. From the proceeds of the sale of calendars 75% of the net funds raised goes toward the support of breast cancer research. The chance of wining a prize encouraged people to purchase calendars to support this great cause. This was a win win for both cancer research and the people entering the contest. Now it looks like it will be a Wynne Wynne for the Liberal Party only, when they grab their share of the 13% right off the top! When will the “GREED” ever end?
