A large double double view

Canadians will get this really easily.

A large Timmies in Newfoundland and Labrador will set you back $1.50. That the Canadian standard - large, double double - and taking in the harmonized provincial and federal sales taxes.

If Stephen Harper is elected, my Timmies will go to $1.48, for a total savings of two friggin' cents a cup.

It will take 20, 000 cups of coffee to reach the $400 in GST savings Harper claims his proposal will plunk in my pocket.

I better get started.

That's a lot of coffee.
