Government sends mixed messages on HST

I could not agree more with “Mail-in ballot fails to inspire” column.

If the HST is voted out it will be an absolute miracle with all the roadblocks  and conflicting information sent out by our government. They are simply wearing us down.

If the government truly interested in people’s concerns for the HST, they could simply not tax anything that was not taxed under the PST.

B.C. Liberal MLA Ida Chong says under the HST, B.C. families on average be roughly $120 better off on routine expenditures.

This is nonsense. This tax is huge. It covers everything. It even costs you seven per cent more to die now.

Voting for the HST is simply a ticket for Ida Chong, the B.C. Liberals and their cronies to party on.
