Gimbol's diatribe and screed

Iggy says increase taxes

These quotes are taken direct from the CPC website.

As far back as 1991 Mr. Ignatieff was arguing: “Solutions are there, but they require guts, said Mr. Ignatieff. Among them are the obvious -- higher taxes. ‘Taxes have to rise; there is no other way,’ he said.” (Kingston Whig-Standard, June 10, 1991)

As a candidate in the 2006 leadership race he was an outspoken advocate of a carbon tax: “But the principle is sound: the more you pollute, the more tax you pay.” (Agenda for Nation Building: Liberal leadership for the 21st Century)

Upon becoming Liberal leader, Ignatieff affirmed Stephane Dion’s position on the GST. Just as Dion admitted he was considering a hike to the GST, Ignatieff says a Liberal GST hike remains on the table. "I'm not going to take a GST hike off the table later.” (CityTV. December 18, 2008)
