"Under the Excise Tax Act, the GST is typically applied to "luxury" items not considered essential to daily life. But in trying to get the tax eliminated, NDP MPs argued that tampons and pads are essential for most women of reproductive age."

No fair though. If women get tax relief for tampons, we should get some tax love for our essential services...like, for example...beer.

Razors and shave cream were already exempt. Fair is fair!

Seems to me soap and asswipe should be on the list too. I'd rather have those and go without shaving any day. Prefer is others did the same.

Just make GST apply to everything already.

It had a lot of people seeing red, no more going with the flow. They had to rag on it for quite a while.

This is great news. I am a light sleeper and I think I may have found a cheaper alternative to earplugs.
