Yeah, I'm gonna go and suggest the GST vacation is probably a "costly political gimmick". Honestly, I'm with her on not signing off on that.

Yeah it's gotta be that and the $250 cheques.

The GST vacation offloaded all the work to the local businesses, many who weren't ready to apply the exemption in time. Kind of a dick move to them.

It would have made more sense to give that back in the form of a tax rebate during income season, or through bonus child benefit / pension payments, etc who are usually those that needs it the most if they wanted to put it back in people's pocket faster.
