Brian Topp goes there

The NDP leadership candidate talks taxes.

"I will be talking about income taxes and I think it’s time for our party to step up to that plate and to be pretty clear about that because then we’ll have a mandate to act if we’re elected," Topp said in a wide-ranging interview. He also called for a hike in corporate taxes and did not rule out a sales tax increase "at some point," once the fragile economy is on surer footing.
