What if people paid for the HST now for thier tickets etc etc... and the Anti HST won and HST is cancel do WE GET OUR HST RETURN TO US? I am going to say no. The Gov will just keep it in their pockets.

Without them pushing the tax, it wouldn't have happened.

I'm just curious, let's say NDP steps in few years down the road, can they get rid of HST easily?

I have signed the petition but does that actually do anything?! I'm so pissed off when I hear about the HST basically everything being taxed now...
So will they start taxing school supplies and children's clothes as well? http://www.globaltvbc.com/world/Kill...814/story.html | |

here's something odd, your signature on the petition to stop the hst is only valid if your a registered voter (fine) but the kicker is you have to have been registered before vander zalm kicked off his petition Quote:
NOTICE: The initiative to end the harmonized sales tax (HST)
Only voters who are registered prior to midnight on April 6, 2010 are qualified to sign the petition to end the harmonized sales tax (HST). Please note that NEW registrations received at Elections BC after midnight on April 6, 2010 will not qualify that voter to sign the petition.
| so citizens who were spurred to register (finally) to voice their opinion, don't count

Or it would, if they didn't ask the CRTC to allow them to raise fees, therefore passing the cost to the subscriber. They're marketed as a tax that will benefit the average person, but in all the reading and studying I've done, I can't see where it's going to help anyone except the receiver general of Canada.

I like how your sig says "Support the Bollywood industry" yet you state you'll flat out refuse to support your own province. It's clowns like you who will bitch about the medical industry, bitch about the roads, and bitch about crime, yet you're not willing to put into the budget to fix these things?
That's pretty fucking short sighted if you ask me.

i seriously doubt that companies will pass on "savings" to its customers, but i am optmisitc that big companies who save big will be more inclined to increase their head count over the long term, so indirectly it *should* be beneficial to the economy as a whole
sucks for the hospitality/service industries tho...

well, there is no way to get rid of HST, that's for sure
big companies paid millions of dollars to implement the HST ..and here is a perfect example that gov't is working for the business not the ppl

i'm sure gordon campbell knows that this will kill his party's chance of winning the next election (as far away as it is)... so he's prepping his post-politician career by trading these tax breaks for companies for a cushy job in the industry.

looks like there's much displeasure for this HST.
So how far you willing to go is the question....
rally / riot?
so how many are just gonna sit there and take it up the ass?
would you rather be the one taking it or giving it?
how many people would it take for the govt to give a shit?
rally / riot? interests?
i wonder.

this person will be buying more things from USA/HK
even clothes are going up, so even brown 'ballers' will have to buy their fake ed hardy crap at a higher price now unless they go ebay or jobber sites.
but fuck, looks like I will be buying the bear essentials in BC only, all the rest will be looking elsewhere, probably won't even be buying clothes at winners anymore... hello ebay!
