This petition is for those who are against having a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)introduced in British Columbia in July of 2010. The Liberal government who were just re-elected had promised that this type of money grabbing would not happen. This has been introduced to us via the media as a done deal. I strongly believe as British Columbians who work and pay taxes should have a say with regards to the HST. The 2010 Olympics have already stretched our budgets beyond what we as average workers can afford. This tax will slowly creep up and will become a tax on EVERYTHING we purchase in the future.

Updates

August 2, 2009

The volume of support has now reached a point that forces the government to acknowledge our formal opposition. I am currently drafting a letter to the minister to request an immediate review of these tax policies. Further updates will follow once the meeting request is processed.

Enough is enough. They lied to us straight to our faces before the election. We cant afford this and we didnt ask for it.
