I doubt very much of the GST goes towards our health care system. If it did,
we wouldn't have the problems we do with the system. Instead they p*ss it
away on lots of "feel good" programs that only serve to buy them votes in
the next election. The GST and the revenue collected from road tax go into
that endless pot of taxpayers money that forms the trough that our
parliamentary pigs feed on...

So . . . you can pay for your health care (and other benefits) a little
bit at a time (in GST) or (as in the USA) you can pay for it in insurance
premiums, co-pays, etc. running to many thousands of dollars a year
(perhaps even thousands a month: we're paying well over $1000 a month, and
I don't doubt that some people are paying even more).

Yeah, its a General Sales Tax of 7% that all Canadians are screwed with
and applies to pretty much everything we buy....on top of a myriad of
other taxes, which makes us one of the most heavily taxed countries in
the world....(
So if we initially pay something for a product, then we pay a Provincial
tax of 8% on it, then the GST is applied to both the original item AND
the PST, so we are taxed on tax. Monitoring however, doesn't require PST.
