CALLING BULLSH!T ON LIBERAL SURPRISE

My friend reminded me that the first Finance Minister to propose taxing employee discounts was Allan MacEachen – in 1983! When Justin’s father, Pierre, was prime minister!
Discount sweaters for mall clothing store clerks have, apparently, been a bee in the bonnet of some Liberals for a third of a century.
There is no way the current Liberal government was caught unawares. Nor was CRA going rogue.
On Tuesday, Liberal MPs were saying this was nothing more than the clarification of an existing rule – nothing to get excited about.
By Wednesday, after the manure hit the public fan, Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier was claiming to be “deeply disappointed” by the bureaucrats in her department who had released this change without her say-so.
