Dec 2nd, 2007 11:29 AM #7 Should apply to all helmets IMO
Ski/snowboard helmets, snowmobile helmets, etc. Why just bikes?

The tax exemption counts for all safety equipment, such as lights and bells.
Add the 1% reduction in GST in Jan 1, and you're looking at a 9% discount for a bike and bike stuffs just by waiting another month._______________

What a half-assed stupid exemption. This makes no sense unless they are planning similar exemptions for other products and services that encourage Ontarians to stay healthy.
