Have you seen the latest ads that the BC Liberals have been producing claiming something like 12% if you vote yes, or 10% if you vote no?  I am amazed that these people still haven’t learned the lesson.  Why they persist in this nonsense is simply beyond me.

First of all, the choice really is back to what it was before which actually means 12% on SOME items and only 5% on others, because the PST didn’t apply to some items or 10% on most items going forward.  You are better off with the old system.

Those common items would drop back to 5% GST only, depending on if the BC Liberals keep their promise to restore the original system as it was.  I’m hearing rumours lately though, that they might not even do this if they lose the HST.  I wouldn’t put it past them to figure out some way to keep the tax revenue flowing even if they lose the vote.

I simply cannot wait for the next provincial election.
