in an ideal or close to ideal world, i'd be cheering for HST cuz it makes sense. But with the corrupted government and the likes of Campbell, we just know that we'll get shafted.

what I read was the conservatives also has a part in this HST business, being that Stephan Harper secretly approves of the HST, and that he has some deal going on with our provincial government but he hasn't shown his POV, so no one has yet to point fingers at him.
BTW, I was also informed at work that any food item that cost lest then 5 dollars is tax free

You guys blaming the Provincial government for this shit when in doubt it's the Federal government that's pushing it. BC and Ontario are basis for this "preview/test" run. In the near future all provinces will no doubt be pushing the HST as well.

Check the public sector salaries thread and see that there were some nurses who made $200k plus.

Any RN that works 12hr shifts, 6 days a week like you say will easily break $100k. If they do 12hr shifts and work more than 4 days in a row, that's considered OT for day 5 and day 6 @ 2x pay.

Are nurses an important part of healthcare? Yes. Did they fuck over BC by going on strike and use their important status to get themselves a ridiculous amount of pay, especially when it comes to "overtime"? Yes. You can't argue that, so don't bother.
