    Good for BC. Tell Campbell where to shove his underhanded tax hike.

    Wow, he gets points for that. I still hate him though.

    You know what, I take that back. He gets no points from me. He could have saved everyone the trouble of this BS if he had listened to the public right from the beginning.

    Someone is grasping at possible political lifelines here.

    It isn't going to help him or his party one iota.

    Wanna bet? If the HST is defeated democratically, and if Campbell steps down for the good of the party, you'll see another Lib majority.

    NDP is still a worst case scenario.

    Maybe, but if what my friend in the party says is true they wont' be called the Liberals by the next election. :lol:

    He's claiming that they're losing votes by being associated with the Federal Liberals, which is more likely the other way around, but anyway, they're already in talks with the BC Conservatives about amalgamating the parties, just like they did with the Wilson crowd.

    So it appears that if you want an alternative to the Socred/Liberal/Conservative party or the NDP, you'll be voting Refederation, which will be the only untainted Party in BC come 2013.

    We should still keep the HST. This is all a colossal waste that will only result in going back to the inefficient 2 Sales Tax system. Embrace the HST, then campaign to lower it.

    Do you know how expensive it is to coat my lungs with inanimate carbon right now?

    At this rate I might have to live to reach retirement.

    And no one wants that!
