Thank you for saying this. Everyone else was just missing the point by simply turning it into a legal argument. Soon the government will be selling us pot and taxing that too. I guess they should tax everything, just pick up where the consumption tax left off - they should tax the number of times we take a shit every day. People with skidders will be taxed higher because they eat the wrong food at your favourite restaurant. Or tax your every time you consume gigwatts of power venting your impotent rage with an email, or breathe our clean Canadian air - these are all consumables, no? Stuff you won't get in Seoul, that's for sure! > > > It's just wrong. Boozing is no sin, why a sin tax I have no idea.
