2326...The Difference Between BC And Ontario

Three letters.

H S T.

In Ontario our sales tax is going to go up to 13 per cent Canada Day; in British Columbia the same harmonized tax, HST, will make the hit at the cash register 12 per cent.

The difference is that in Ontario we seem to be taking it; in B.C. they are pissed and it could cost the Liberals their hold on power in Lotusland.

It is reported widely that former Premier Bill Vander Zalm has coalesced the people who are in opposition to the plan and it looks like he will be forcing a review of the HST.

In Ontario, nothing really, nothing.

Well, the NDP are b*tching but that is about it.

Ironically the Conservatives under Ted, no, wait, Tim Hudak, are sitting on their hands.
