Well not for residents of Ontario and British Columbia. Everyone knows birthday parties usually result in thinner wallets, but no Canada Day has ever been so expensive for Canadian families as this, our 143rd. In Ontario and B.C., the Harmonized Sales Tax begins today. Provincial governments say it will lead to more jobs and savings for both manufacturers and consumers, which will ultimately strengthen their respective economies.
The recent global economic crisis is putting schools around the world at risk as influential interests are pushing governments to turn public services into private industries, which could be a great detriment to the people of the world already facing marginalization. So as the globe’s most powerful leaders come together at the G8 and G20 Summits this week in Huntsville and Toronto, Ontario, the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) along with student groups from Africa, Europe, Asia, the United States, Norway, Latin America, and the Arab world are raising their voices. Representing over 150 million students worldwide, they have issued a statement calling for leaders to recognize education as an essential public good, along with nutrition, health-care, and other social services.
