Please, Don't Tax My Big Mac

I know if it were up to McGuinty, Jack Layton or Shawn Graham, the Big Mac that I enjoyed immensely today in Moncton probably would have already been taxed.

However, if the Canadian public has any say on this issue, the tax brigade above may never get near our fatty food;

Many adults in Canada oppose implementing extra taxes on specific foods in order to reduce both consumer demand and health problems, according to a poll by Angus Reid Strategies. 50 per cent of respondents think the proposal is a bad idea, while 43 per cent consider it a good idea.

Amen to that.
