I like a good fiction story as much as the next guy, but I feel the need to intercede Mr. Daltons spin on the HST with a little reality.
First I believe Mr. Dalton became a BC Fiberal because he was to right wing for the Conservatives.
It seems Mr. Dalton is fairly easy to impress as he claims he joined the BC Fiberals because of their fiscal prudence. The reality is BC has had 5 Federal transfer payments in the last decade and they have still managed to increased the provincial debt by $13,969 billion if you don’t count the $60 billion of unfunded P3s which would mean tripling the real provincial debt in 10 years to $107,757 billion and counting.
Fiberal fiscal mismanagement is the very reason Mr. Campbell attempted this desperate $2 BILLION HST tax shift in the first place.
If Mr. Campbell and the Fiberals had been taking care of business (realistically thats all the Fiberals have done, take care of big business) we would not have needed 5 Federal equalization transfers, budget deficits or the HST.
Mr. Dalton has had more than a few opportunities to debate the HST but apparently found that option too political for his liking, instead he chose to just regurgitate the Fiberals HST talking points which would handily be justified by $20 million dollars of government and corporate propaganda.
As usual they stick to their fantasy $350 per family cost, that does not work out at any level, pretending that seniors and other people like me, who the HST has cost an extra $2000 dollars and counting simply do not exist.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
Vote YES to extinguish the HST and prove one and for all we can not be bought with our own money.
