Carole Taylor's Shoes

Finance Minister Carole Taylor didn't cut the PST, did cut taxes by $733 million (over 4-years cheapo), but gave cash to the kids in a boring budget without much of a surprise. We'll call it the "little ones" budget for short.

24 Hours's Sean Holman talked a bit about the off-white pumps purchased at Holt Renfrew that Taylor was going to wear to the budget today but we didn't get this part: "What you should first know is that Holt is one of the few stores that carries my size of shoes." Small feet? Big Feet? Now we're totally on edge. Although she didn't know during one interview, the shoes (by Gucci) supposedly cost $600. The Canadian Press was not having any of it acting like Janice Dickenson on America's Next Top Model:

"Taylor, in a long string of pearls and stylish black glasses, defended her wardrobe after she was asked about wearing shoes that few British Columbians could afford."The jacket I'm wearing is from the time when the mini was popular," she shot back.

And while some are delighting in the press and irony of the fancy shoes coupled with moving the luxury tax on cars from $49,000 to $55,000, this just means we that much closer to getting that A4.
