The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is "an independent, non-partisan research institute concerned with issues of social, economic environmental justice. Founded in 1980, the CCPA is one of Canada’s leading progressive voices in public policy debates".
CCPA recently examined the recently-approved Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)and concludes that the "majority of Ontarians won’t be worse off when the [HST] is implemented. Not A Tax Grab After All: A Second Look at Ontario’s HST examines the Ontario government’s HST plan and finds it's virtually revenue neutral when viewed as part of a total tax package that includes increased sales and property tax credits and a significant decrease in personal income tax rates".
