Remember Dalton "No New Taxes" McGuinty?
"I placed an order on TigerDirect for a new PC and then last week I get another bill from them for $14.11 for the Desktop Computer Disposal fee."And hey, let's not forget... out here in Hastings County, there's also a 10 dollar surcharge when you drop off small electric appliances at the dump.
"It amounts to a perfect 3% surtax on the value of the sale."
"Plus I pay GST and PST on the fee."
They get you coming AND going.
I just wanna know how many of Premier McSlippery's friends have those high-paying administrative jobs at "Waste Disposal Ontario".
Geez... that sounds so familiar.
And while we're on government waste...

There was never a need for Ontario to raise taxes or create new taxes.
They have been spending far too much of what they've been taking in and not even doing much to lower taxes if at all. then in the last budget the finally lower some taxes, only, doing so at least two (three) budgets too late.
They've already been killing business and jobs by continuously raising the minimum wage without offsetting it by lowering business taxes and other things.
despite all this there should still be an HST, however they have to lower taxes in conjunction.
And only after wise considerations are taken in order so as to not jolt the system.
In the long run, the HST is good and should of been there ages ago to help with provincial trade.
Province to province trade in the country is atrocious for businesses.
We have Canadian made beers and other products that are treated as imports and subject to the sorts of conditions. It's ridicules.
We have had free trade with the U.S. but not even within our own country.
Corrupt Liberal criminals abusing the people of Ontario, again. Who votes for these people?
I got that beat .
I was one of the victims of the Bell Telephone Padded Phone Bill for $1200.00 in calls to Africa over a 5 day period while I was at home for most of them.
Bell demanded payment even after I explained my Disability status and no income at that time, they didn't care...PAY THE BiLL or the phone is cut!
Bell shaved-off about $140.00 in discounts for the calls at 3:00am (oh boy) but the Bill was pretty hefty, the real scam was when the RCMP fowarded Residential Cyber-/Phone fraud to a Complaint site for my free Cry-Towell, THEN I saw how the GST/PST was collected even for Criminal Activity like hi-jacking my Line to make calls on my Bill.
I have no doubt that if a Drug Pusher listed that Job on his Tax-Forms the Government would only alert the RCMP when it's a Tax-Fraud case or tax evasion on the Illegal Income.
Bell said "Pay the bill or we cut the phone" , I paid it and then said "Cut the phone off I'm going to Telus with a Blackberry".
I too often wonder if some Department weasel at Bell needs to show a increses for their 1/4 or Year-end numbers and it's THEM who hack into the systems and dial a Open-Line Number or Service that defaults to a "Hold" buffer .
The person may have worked the night shift which explains the Phone Bill scam above where calls were after midnight for 5 nights in a row.
The Deparment head shows a increase and gets a Bonus or keeps their job,the complaint goes to the Bell service and Billing where there read a Script about how it's your problem so just pay the Bill.
Ontario and the Feds get their cut so the only Victim is the Client.
This is Canada
SNAFU for the Citizens.
