Introducing the New 007

Although Daniel Craig received critical acclaim for his performance in Casino Royale, there’s an even better person for the role. He is suave. He is charismatic. He is handsome. He is also the master of stealth taxation. He is none other than our very own Gary Doer.

So before the year is over be sure to watch for Gary in the upcoming 007% - Taxes Are Forever. Judging by the bags of shwag the NDP has planned for voters, the marketing budget for this one is HUGE – it’s sure to be a bankbuster err blockbuster.

Thankfully, we have already seen the script. Our intrepid hero sneaks past the defences of the wary taxpayer and expands the PST. In a red-hot housing market, he then tells these taxpayers that under his leadership, they have seen their home equity values soar. If you must pay more in sales taxes, costs tend to increase – these costs expertly slip under the radar of a bull market. Just when the public starts questioning the accountability of school boards and increasing school taxes, he professes to have no control over the educational tax component of the public’s property tax bill and vanishes.

Release date for this action adventure? Spring or Fall, 2007. Watch for it – the legacy we are bestowing upon our children depends upon you the viewer following this complicated plot and seeing past the Hollywood magic…
