The HST...I have voted, yes to extinguish the HST. <br /><br />The HST was a scam by Campbell, Hansen and Harper. They colluded on the HST long before the BC election. The HST, is an unreasonable, unfair tax, forced onto the backs, of struggling BC family's. <br /><br />From the time the HST has been enforced on us. BC has steadily lost jobs, and businesses have closed. BC people are not saving money as promised, the HST has driven absolutely everything up in price.<br /><br />Harper is sending Campbell to England as, high commissioner. Campbell is to work on, the Alberta dirty tar sands oil with England. The Brits staged a protest against the dirty crude, coming into their country.<br /><br />Campbell is not going to welcomed by the British citizens. They are going to be, downright hostile towards Campbell. They don't accept the crap, Canadians do. But, England is not a dictatorship, as Canada is. English politicians care about their people. The Canadian government we have now, doesn't.<br /><br />The English citizens don't give up, as we saw during WW11. They could very easily, throw Campbell into the Thames, and let him swim for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-76708827221433819442011-07-11T10:37:58.167-07:002011-07-11T10:37:58.167-07:00I am going to celebrate my sons birthday on Wednes...I am going to celebrate my sons birthday on Wednesday with another trip down south. Gas at 90 cents per litre. Off to Bellis Fair for an early dinner at Old Country Buffet. About 8 bucks including 8.5% sales tax.(go before 3 thirty during the week). Then a trip to Target amd Wal Mart for clothes. A quick trip to Cost Cutter for milk and cheese.<br />Do I feel bad that the Liberals will lose my tax dollars? Hell no!<br />I do feel sorry for restaurants and stores near the border, but as that moron from De Dutch panecoek (?) said. He supports the HST even though his restaurants are suffering big time. Yes they can be easily misled. My idiot neighbour believe that 10% in 3 years is better than 5% where it was last year.<br />Thanks for clearing up the PAB referrence. This sounds like the propaganda machines during WW2 and China among other dictatorships.<br />One other thing. Someone please investigate an ad for filling out HST forms on craigslist. Sound really corrupt. Type in HST under vancouver p/t jobs or copy and paste this. You will be shocked!<br />http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rds/bus/2471983587.html<br />Someone let me know if this is bs or not and perhaps report it.

This is great for the HST referendum as its a tipping point for many that are already feeling taxed to the max. Can't wait to see the Vancouver Sun and Province today; I don't imagine they will be reporting on any job losses. By the way, I don't buy either paper; read it at the library as I won't financially support attempted brainwashing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-21001629978195857942011-07-11T00:05:20.383-07:002011-07-11T00:05:20.383-07:00The BC Liberal Government has about 200 employees ...The BC Liberal Government has about 200 employees that do nothing but churn out press releases and control the news..<br /><br />PAB..Public Affairs Bureau...<br /><br />BC has the largest PAB in North America..<br /><br />BC has more PAB employees than does Barack Obama..<br /><br /><br />Pretty sad indeed Cam.....<br /><br />I am the only news source that reported BC`s job numbers...<br /><br />BC is hurting for jobs....Have you seen the border line ups going south..<br /><br />Bellis Fair is hiring..<br /><br /><br />CheersGrant Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944976348166120530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-5677477645254677002011-07-10T23:28:00.437-07:002011-07-10T23:28:00.437-07:00Just to add to this story, when CKNW reported on t...Just to add to this story, when CKNW reported on the job numbers for June in their newscasts, they stated the gains for Canada of 28,000 new jobs. However, when they reported on BC's performance they said nothing about job losses at all. The only comment was that BC's unemployment rate went from 7.6% to 7.3% leaving the impression that BC was on the plus side of the equation. And nowhere did they bother to mention that the reduction in percentage was due to less people looking for work or as you say, running out of EI payments.<br /><br />No matter how one looks at it CKNW is proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the credibility of their newsroom has hit a new low. Frank Griffiths and the many great newspeople that once worked there and are no longer with us must be turning over in their graves. The Top Dog has now become about as credible as the National Enquirer.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-55577522418344350942011-07-10T22:22:40.453-07:002011-07-10T22:22:40.453-07:00Sorry to have to ask, but as I am new here would s...Sorry to have to ask, but as I am new here would someone please axplain what the acronym<br />"PAB" stands for?

The cat at the top, ha...Your cats are so beautiful. The cat at the top, has gorgeous markings.<br /><br />Job losses are going to hit this community, quite soon again. I know two fathers, right in my neighborhood, who will be laid off. They have gone all over BC, on days off. There are no jobs to be had. These people have to omit Vancouver, the rent is outrageous there. They just don't even have the money to move. There are young people, with large student loans, who are educated, and no jobs for them either.<br /><br />I can't remember where I read. Credit card debt is dangerously high in BC. Family's wages don't stretch until their next payday. Their savings have been used up. So, they have to use their credit cards to live on, til their next payday. Any financial emergency, roof repair, plumbing, car and house insurance, or whatever, has to go on credit cards. <br /><br />The BC Liberals know this to be true. They can't help not knowing, the desperate situation family's are facing. Right now it's summer. Next winter high utilities, will strike again. With hydro going up, the new carbon tax hike, and the HST really adds up. Gas and food prices, have really gone up. There is no price control in BC. Prices are jacked up, to whatever amount they please.<br /><br />There are no wage increases. BC still has the lowest minimum wage in Canada. It is just simple logistics. The HST is the worst tax, I have ever seen, in all my many years. It doesn't make the least bit of sense, if Christy really did care about family's. But she doesn't. The HST is of the utmost priority to her, and to hell with family's, trying to feed and clothe their kids.<br /><br />I don't know Grant, but, does Christy understand? A single mother earning a minimum wage, because she lost her mill job. Her rent went up $50.00, she is in tears. She already has to rely of the food bank, to feed her kids. $50.00 is a lot of money for her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
