I run a computer-taught course on Canadian income tax law, on a system which allows students to record comments at any time. One paragraph of the material reads: > A surtax is an additional "tax on the tax", which is enacted > ostensibly as a temporary measure to raise revenue. (The income > tax itself was a temporary measure when it was introduced in 1917, > but that's another story.) To which a student recently commented: > The federal tories are a temporary measure introduced in 1984. David Sherman The Law Society of Upper Canada
