Yes, Bill Vander Zalm, You have responsibility now, to ensure that the 700,000 people's voice is heard. Don't stop that fight.

Good Luck with that.

We need a list of the BC business' who are fighting the HST petition so we all know which business' to avoid.

Lost It All
A Brilliant Idea
Lets put friends and families out of work with a boycott.
Lets stop any business going to a company that supports the HST because it is easier for them and may reduce costs and in turn may result in layoffs for the workers.
Just what we need.
Why not carry it a little further by finding out which companies are union or non-union and you can choose which side you want to support.
Maybe we could extend the boycotts to which nationalality you will grace your presence with.
While we are at it lets find out what religion and what political party they favor so we can boycott anyone who doesn't think like you.
If companies need a sign that they support HST perhaps you could also wear one.
Just so we know for sure.

Exactly RIP, I do that already, I think others may want to do it as well, therefore a list would be helpful.

The business's and Corporations who support the HST and stand to gain the most, are huge Corporations such as Rio Tinto Alcan, the Forest Industry, Mining Industry, etc; you would not have any luck boycotting those Cowboys.

What you need to do is stay focused, follow the HST drama to its conclusion.

In simplistic terms the Liberals will have to back off or they will hand the Government to the NDP. They have very limited choices. If they do not back off on their own, then we will give them a boost through some re-calls in specific ridings.

All the propaganda you will hear in the next few weeks will tell you how good this tax is for BC. Dont buy the blarney.

This tax sucks, and the Govenrment better get rid of it, if it plans on being around for the next election.

This is a Campbell, Hansen, Business, Corporation, tax. No one else in the Province will benefit from it.

AXE THE TAX, RECIND THE TAX, RECALL IN THE FALL.

Have a nice day.

I think HST is great, it is a consumer tax. It is better than increasing our income tax. With the HST, if you don't want to pay it, don't buy it. With income tax, you pay before you get your check.

We all want to medical system, education system, road infrastructure... who do you think actually pays for it.

Its too bad, the current school system actually do not teach our kids about the real world. i think a stretch of tough times is needed to get this country hungry again. We have been living too high on the hog.

He Spoke,have you not read or heard a thing about the HST?

The HST is NOT an additional tax, it is a tax transfer, so without the tax transfer all the services that were previously paid for with existing taxes would continue to be so.

So by saying its a good tax because we need to fund the medical system, education system, road infrastructure...The province will not bring in one cent in addition to what was already brought in previous to the HST. Only the sourse of where the tax is collected will change.

Maybe you missed the day the "real world" lesson was taught when you were in school, he spoke.

I think Mr Campbell has been living too high on the hog.

He spoke, since you have decided to remain ignorant about the HST, feel free to pay my share and send me a check for reimbursement.

Has anyone else noticed how the government of BC and almost all Lieberal MLAs have vanished? How many times have you seen Gordo's mug since all the Olympic photo ops? Bond, Bell & Rustad didn't put in an appearance at the park for Canada Day. This isn't like them to miss these types of photo ops. Could it be that they figure all the HST stuff will go away in time? I hope not. Enough is enough-keep up the pressure. If you don't want to patronize the groups that are taking the validity of the anti HST petition to court, maybe a good place to start would be with Chamber of Commere members since they are party to the court case. I've never ben a Vander Zalm fan, but I support him 100% in this fight. Enough already. No more lies Gordo.

Don't expect to see any in depth coverage of this story in the mainstream media. The Citizen has done a great job of keeping anything that could be an embarassment to the government off of the front pages. The BCR court case would be a good example of this. Tim Whats hi Name from IPG will likly have lots to say in favour of the HST. Taxpayers of PG pay his wages and he trashes the wishes of over 700,000 BC residents. Democracy in action??

He spoke:-"Its too bad, the current school system actually do not teach our kids about the real world. i think a stretch of tough times is needed to get this country hungry again. We have been living too high on the hog."
-----------------------------------------

It is too bad, but then just WHO in the current school system could teach them that? Many of those teaching school have gone from high school through university and straight back into the same
classrooms whence they came, only as teachers now instead of students. Do they really know ANYTHING about the 'real world'? Or only what they read, or have
been told about it? And what do many of those who've written or lectured them on the subject know about it? What actual experience have they had? No more than their audience, I'd wager.

But aside from that, if we weren't "living
too high on the hog" we would certainly see a "stretch of tough times" that would get this country very "hungry again." Not because there's no food, but simply because there'd be far less money from incomes with which to buy it.

If so many weren't living beyond their means financially, a great many more wouldn't have ANY means economically. And so shall it be so long as there remains a disconnect between 'prices' expressed in money, and 'money' itself.

Inducing "hard times" as
a solution to anything only ensures those on the 'right', who should know better, will be destined to fight a losing battle with those on the 'left'. Who anxiously await their chance to represent poverty, rather than eliminate it.

He spoke:-"We all want to medical system, education system, road infrastructure... who do you think actually pays for it."
----------------------------------------
We do, He spoke. But how many times over do you want to pay for the same thing?

The way the current set-up works, we're undoubtedly paying for all these things, and a good many more services provided by government, several times over.

Is it any wonder we're so grossly over-taxed? With still more to come. or do you think the HST is going to be the be-all and end-all of Campbell's tax takings?

Let the government, which is often so fond of comparing itself 'financially' to a private business, do its books the same way every private business does theirs, and that'll be apparent immediately.

Lets see what the Balance Sheet for the Province of BC really looks like, if there was one. Show us an accounting for the ASSETS, and on the other side, the CAPITAL (or "citizen's equity" in OUR Province), not just the LIABILITIES (Provincial debt)that are all we now get to see or hear about.
