Speaking out on the HST

The HST is one more insidious piece of legislation proposed by the Stephen Harper Federal Government that shifts costs from their business and corporate partners onto the Canadian taxpayer.

And let us not forget that Prime Minister Harper has the support of BC’s Premier Gordon Campbell, who also endorses imposing another new tax on BC taxpayers and consumers.

The HST will add additional financial hardship for seniors, the unemployed and those thousands of Canadians with incomes well below the established poverty line.

British Columbians must deliver, and articulate a clear message to both federal and provincial governments, reminding them that we have had enough of their devious back room deals and don’t want nor do we support the proposed HST. If provincial and federal politicians insist on imposing the HST on Canadians, I suggest they risk doing so at their own peril!
