Richmond was very heavily "YES" to extinguish, almost 60/30 averaged over the three districts. How many of those do you think are due to people not understanding the question?

Every couple of sentances he'd make some stupid quip about the HST, it got stale and stupid pretty quick.

I don't like this at all. So are we going to have a referendum every time the gov't passes a bill?

It's all of these fucken tree hugger uneducated idiots that live in our province that don't have a clue about business and how things work. This is really going to hurt our economy that’s for sure.
