Are there legitimate grocery stores in your area which would not benefit from this measure? (www.cbc.ca)

Yes.

Joy's was my primary store for like 6 years. The older Korean couple who own it are lovely people.

God, this tax cut just keeps getting dumber and dumber. I don't know how people who supported high sugar beverage taxes, etc. could possibly justify this other than pandering to the North American anti-tax mentality. The original CBC article's example of a "win" under this tax cut was a man who paid about $6.50 of PST on about $300 of groceries. What a waste of everyone's time and money.

Put the PST back up the 1% the PC cut off and stop begging for federal funds.
