The yes side gets $250,000 dollars for advertising and literature, signs, etc. etc. and the government gets $ 5 million of our tax dollars and another 5 million from big business, hardly what I would call a level playing field, let alone fair or balanced.
The government gets to put their propaganda on all the expensive prime advertising venues and the yes side gets to put up their few signs and municipalities like Pitt Meadows tear them down, hardly what I would consider fair or balanced.
The Government gets to make up pie in the sky incentives to ensure the HST is retained, that they will in all likelihood never have to deliver on, and now they have involved the Federal government in their deception by getting the Federal governments permission to lower the 12 percent to 10 percent and supposedly making it the law that the HST will be lowered to 10 percent, did you hear that they had to get Federal permission to change BC tax.
It is also the law in BC that BC has to have a balanced budget, I wonder when it comes down to it which law they will they honour.
Lets’s not forget the fact that it is reasonable to assume that the BC Liberals will not even be in power in 2014, will the governing party really run a deficit in order to cut the HST to 10 percent, a tax that they are not responsible for anyway, I think not.
As far as present Federal and Provincial governments breaking their own laws it is the law that Federal elections be every 4 years Mr. Harper has broken that law twice already and in all probability the Provincial government will break BC laws concerning 4 year elections this coming September and has broken many laws over the last eight years as we have all witnessed.
In practice rules and laws are made to be broken by this sad collection of politicians.
Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.
