You don’t hear this too often……..A provincial party leader actually calling for taxes to be raised but that’s what David Coon of the Green Party is advocating.
He says Provincial Health Minister Blaine Higgs only has two choices…..Raise taxes or implement deeper cuts to health and education.
Coon says income taxes are good and he is calling for the tax cuts instituted by the previous Liberal government in 2009 to be rescinded because in his words, they were reckless and left provincial coffers short of much needed revenue.
He goes on to say raising income taxes would mainly affect those people who already enjoy luxuries and maybe mean one less trip south in the winter.
