the rest of canada didn't vote for harper, rather everyone out west except BC did and unfortunately that's pretty much the majority of Canada's population that isn't Québec.

ps ROBOCALLS

Combine consumer taxes and what we call "impôts", and here you go.

Edit: I think its called "income tax", but I have no idea.

We have higher in general. They impose some more to us.

But we could argue that our Chômage rate is insane...

i'd be willing to debate that nb pays more taxes than qc

Still. Us students managed to pull off a protest without breaking anything while being 200 000 people at the same time. Props to that, at least.

New Brunswick's sales taxes are the lowest they've ever been since I've been alive, or at least old enough to know what tax is. And the province has a staggering debt, but what's-his-face conservative is, obviously, being a regular conservative and refusing to up the tax.
I don't know about income taxes in comparison to other provinces. If I recall right, when I used to do my own taxes, the province's baseline for having to pay income tax was a higher amount than for paying federal tax, meaning I paid less provincial tax than federal tax.

Tuition rates are much higher than they used to be when I started university. My dad who's a prof (not that I would necessarily trust his info) says that UNB spends like ten times as much as it used to on administration than it did when he started out.

Keep up the pressure you Quebec students, I wish you luck.

that's no surprise. UdeM tuitions doubled since the late 90's but they're saying not enough people attend (gee I wonder why)

alward is a twat and spends more money on his riding in woodstock than he does anywhere else in the province

I'm pretty proud, just shocked it took as long as it did. Also, what does that have to do with the topic at hand? I happen to live right at the center of all the current controversy and have many friends who are and/or will be affected by this ridiculous hike in fees and who have participated in the protest rallies. I also reserve a substantial amount of dislike for the locals (french particularly) who wear their false sense of pride on their sleeves, it's sickening.
