Quebec Premier François Legault is apparently on a mission to validate that truism at his own expense. First, he nixed Legault’s proposal that Ottawa hand over the collection of the federal income tax to the province. That would allow Quebec — the only province that has a separate provincial income tax collecting infrastructure — to move to a single tax return. Some experts fear it could lead to a two-tier national income tax system. Stung by two consecutive federal refusals, Legault responded with talk of ominous electoral consequences for the ruling Liberals this fall.
