It really is how it was jammed down our throats. "we say it's going to happen, this is the date, TO BAD for any discussion." | Gordo is an arrogant guy, but basically, his government is daring you to vote them out based on this single issue. As a voter, what are your choices? The NDP under Carole James? Un-bloody likely.
This is how politics is played. When you have an opposition party that is so reviled by the business and upper-middle class, the government can do what it damn-well pleases.

How sad of a party are you when you lose 3 times in a row and basically still stay as shitty as before? Imagine a bunch of triple losers running the govt.

understand GST, understand PST... understand how they work interms of businesses... now understand how they affact major exporting companies in Canada..
HST doesn't look glamorous on our end but its good for the economy... I'm neither for or against it...

They can complain on the group page and think that someone actually cares.

Here's where I get angry: having to pay 12% tax on USED cars from private sales.
It's already fucking bad enough the government collects tax on a USED product as it is at 7% let alone 12%... blood ridiculous... go buy some $10,000 used car and shell out $1,200 in tax... it's used!! How exactly does the government see fit that they collect tax on something 5-6 times in its life as it changes owners?!?! They don't even do it on 'used' houses. Ridiculous.
Can't wait to see the influx of gift letters after this nonsense comes in.

The HST is a federal initiative to reduce the overhead of managing 2 taxes. The federal government is offering incentives to the provinces to switch to the HST, and BC is one of the last to make the switch.
The HST should reduce the cost of doing business as the tax is passed directly onto the customer. Whether business will pass these savings along remains to be seen. So a new house, while paying more HST on it, should cost less to build cause the developers will pay less tax.

Whoever voted for liberals does not have the right to complain about the HST.
Just kidding. I always have voted NDP since Glen Clark was around. When Carol Taylor announced she would step down from leadership if she loses the last election, I voted liberals. Low and behold, she still stuck around. Carol is such a liar.
Correction - Carol James

Carole Taylor > Carole James.
Doesn't matter what you compare......
looks
brains
experience
clothes
style
social skills
shoe collection
in bed performance
Hell, she could probably spit farther than James.
EDIT: Should have said piss farther, LOL.
