Tory or not, what he has stated is fact. Anyone that thinks the BST
will improve things is living in a fool's paradise. Anyone that thinks
the rebate to retailers will reduce the price of an item is a moron. 
Anyone that trusts the Savage Government is blind, deaf and totally
brainless. I bring your attention to the BST on vehicles. The bastards
tried to hide the fact that it doesn't disappear until 1 Apr 1999.
They tried to say the BST was tax neutral. So where does the extra
$80M come in?  They are downplaying the fact that the BST inflates the
tax on electricity, gasoline, heating oil, clothes, etc. etc. Are
these not necessities? Are they going to reduce the tax on gasoline to
absorb the increase in tax, as they say the retailers will do. HA!
And BTW, does the BST apply to our new road toll? No one has asked
that question yet. I'm betting it does. 
I plan to be part of the protest on Friday, Dec 6th at Province House,
that is organized by Carol Bachstrom of Greenwood and I hope that
others that realize the danger in this tax do the same. My solution,
the BST should only apply to the items covered by the PST, not the
GST. That would really stimulate our economy and start people
spending.
