Robert Ghiz finally folded and abandoned the HST plan because he could not ignore our movement any longer. This victory belongs to every person who refused to let the government pick our pockets. Stay sharp because we need to make sure they do not try to sneak these tax hikes …

Robert Ghiz thinks he can bury this new tax under our noses while our families struggle to pay for the basics. I have been relentless in pushing the Legislative Assembly for answers but they choose to hide behind their desks instead of facing the people they are hurting.

Ghiz needs to listen. PEI is a small place and everything costs double what it does on the mainland already.
