Ontario families are outraged after catching Dalton McGuinty playing a game of hide and sneak on Canada Day with their tax dollars. Families who will struggle to make ends meet, thanks to the HST tax grab, were shocked to find that Dalton McGuinty slapped a second tax on consumer products starting July 1st, in the form of a hidden eco tax.
Thousands of products were slapped with the new eco tax include household items like dish detergent, hairspray, batteries, thermometers and even fire extinguishers. Yesterday, a government official actually confirmed the McGuinty Liberals tried to keep this tax hidden and made no effort to advertise it.
Ontario families saw the same pattern with the $53 million hidden energy tax Dalton McGuinty slapped on their hydro bills in March earlier this year.
