    Are Ujjal Dosanjh and the Ignatieff Liberals no longer opposed to the “horrendous” and “criminal” HST?
    Thu 24 Sep 2009

    For weeks, Michael Ignatieff’s senior Liberal MP in British Columbia Ujjal Dosanjh (Vancouver South), has echoed BCers outrage over the Harper/Campbell HST. Here’s some of what he’s said about what he called the “mother of all issues.”

    27 August 2009: "It is absolutely horrendous and it's criminal on the part of the Conservative government to be pushing this policy in a time of deep economic recession." (Canadian Press)

    Late August 2009: “Stephen Harper and His Conservatives are pushing a harmonzied sales tax hike on BC that at the end of the day will only hurt ordinary British Columbians. Everything from food to housing is going to cost more. Over 80 percent of British Columbians oppose this Harper-approved tax hike.” (Ujjal Dosanjh’s leaflet to his constituents)

    22 August 2009: “The HST storm in BC not subsiding. FedCons either silent or distancing themselves from the furor.” (Dosanjh writing on Twitter)

    20 August 2009: “They should pay at the polls for this Tax in a recession.” (Dosanjh writing on Twitter)

    12 August 2009: “Harper Cons running away from their role in encouraging HST (Harper Sales Tax) in BC.” (Dosanjh writing on Twitter)

    Now that his leader has announced that he would support the HST agreement, what is Dosanjh saying now?

    Mr Dosanjh owes BCers answers: Has he fallen in line with his leader behind Stephen Harper and Gordon Campbell? And if he has, does that mean he no longer thinks the HST is “horrendous” and “criminal”?

    The Dose won re-election by a dozen votes or so and I doubt his last term will win him anything but a swift kick in the pants out of office.

    Bwhahaha!

    For all the bluster and bullshit, Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh voted for the HST bill. The other 4 of the 5 BC MPs seemed to find something else to do today.

    What a moron.
