What tariffs apply to books? Mulroney applied the GST to books, apparently hoping that discouraging literacy would keep the PCs in power longer [1], but I thought the FTA removed tariffs and duties on books imported from the US.

1: I assume much the same logic was why when the US did something annoying with softwood, the Chin-That-Walks slapped the FST on imported books in retaliation.

I am at a loss as to why they thought applying it to feminine hygiene products would be a good idea, unless Wilson wanted what happened when he explained that such goods are not necessities to happen.
