She waffles and flip flops all over the place. The BC Liberal government is running on lies, on top of the old Campbell lies. Christy is scared to death of tripping herself up.

OK. The HST creates employment? Where specifically? How many people? Enables your business to buy new vehicles? Let's see the pink slip buddy, and paperwork showing your savings.

Oh right, you decide my butt, the business ad, sort of helps citizens to make their decision for them. It is just impossible for the Liberals, not to be underhanded. Shame on Christy. It seems impossible for the Liberals to win anything, without cheating.<br /><br />What the business ad should have said...The HST has made it possible for my business to, buy new company vehicles, a vacation in Hawaii, give out larger bonuses, and made it possible for my place of business, to be renovated. No savings have "trickled" down to the citizens by the HST, from big business. That was the joke of the century.

The BCR wasn't for sale, or Campbell and Hansen's election lie, the HST wasn't on their radar, and throw the small provincial deficit, in with the HST lie as well.<br /><br />Is there not something wrong with Campbell, who begs the BC peoples forgiveness for a criminal DUI? Who then kicks the very people, who forgave him in the face? <br /><br />What is really sick, the BC Liberals to this day, honor that out and out liar, thief and criminal. The Liberals haven't changed one iota. Christy uses the same type of dirty tactics, as Campbell did. She has also cheated and lied to win. <br /><br />But, it is true, the media has aided and abetted, these criminal BC Liberals, right to the hilt. They spread the BC Liberals lies, to all the people in this province and indeed, to all of Canada.

I never used to, but I never used to get "really screwed" by the provincial government either.<br /><br />It is really sad and all the governments fault. I buy outside of BC to avoid paying the exorbitant taxes and is my way of showing the provincial government my middle finger. However, that is money that could have been spent in BC and help provide business and employment.<br /><br />Because of the sheer arrogance, dishonesty, corruption and stupidity of the BC Liberal government, I send money out of province.<br /><br />If I have work done - I pay cash, get a discount and the contractor and I are happy that the government gets diddly squat out of the transactions.<br /><br />This is the best I can do for now, but it is still better than nothing. Not the right thing to do by any means but since I have to look after me and my family - well you get my drift.<br /><br />Compared to the amount of money "being given to large businesses" by government, it is of no consequence - but the message is there.<br /><br />Thanks and keep up the good work Grant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-34866509164949456822011-05-24T11:44:01.254-07:002011-05-24T11:44:01.254-07:00Biggest business savings due to HST transfer tax a...Biggest business savings due to HST transfer tax are forestry, mining, oil and gas, construction and manufacturing.

We have to ...In BC, no-one is on the citizens side. We have to battle lies, deceit, and, corrupt politicians, also a pro Liberal media. <br /><br />The BC Liberal party is the worst and most corrupt party, and, has the worst, most corrupt politicians, ever known in this country.<br /><br />The stop the HST petition had enough signatures to say, the BC people are objecting strongly to the unfair HST. Hansen's stacked HST panel, had no idea what they were doing. They screwed it up, until it was laughable. We all see, Hansen is totally incompetent managing health care, as he was as, minister of finance. He also lied about, the HST wasn't on his radar. He rigged the HST, he also rigged the HST panel. Did everyone see, how the HST forced Mr. Mikes and The Pantry restaurants, to close their doors?<br /><br />The referendum, is just another BC Liberal scam. Falcon said, he didn't have to accept it. Typical of the BC Liberals dictatorship.<br /><br />Elections BC is also corrupt, so we found out, AGAIN. No-one told Dix, he could arrange a photo shoot to campaign, out side of the election halls doorway, on voting day, as Christy Clark did. Shame on her, that was disgusting, to stoop to that level. But that's the level of the BC Liberals. If they are afraid of losing, they panic, cheat, and call the opposition dirty names. Many BC citizens, don't believe Christy won the Point Grey by-election either. I guess no-one told Craig James, it was illegal to, alter the wording of the recall documents, after the fact.<br /><br />Well, we have our underground co-op. They are easy to set up. Price gouging in BC is rampant. The thieving of our tax dollars is rampant. The thieving of the gasoline company's. The HST has destroyed the people in this province. Undergrounds, save you a lot of money. A $41.86 roast beef, is right out of price range for me. I have to rely on the underground, for most of my food and reno's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-91476042015944306452011-05-24T10:54:59.429-07:002011-05-24T10:54:59.429-07:00Geez Grant.

And have you noticed the Goebbles style advertising repeating over and over that the HST is good for BC. <br />The statement should read "The HST is good for BC business bottom line and not for the taxpayer"Gary Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640964040603349900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-35202772647507546312011-05-24T09:39:23.123-07:002011-05-24T09:39:23.123-07:00I spent a lot of money this past long weekend.

My wife loves being on the water, so we went through a dozen years of boatedness, meaning a constant drain on the exchequer, and the time to get the maintenance done (I shudder to think of the consequences of doing it myself). We "simplified" a decade ago, pitching the boat overboard, along with a sports car, a motorcycle, a truck, a boat trailer and one family sedan, meaning that my wife got to retire that fall, that we could help our boy with a down payment on a townhouse, and that I could eventually retire somewhat earlier than I might otherwise have been able to do. <br /><br />While I was still a school teacher, I used many flavours of Windows over the years and I think Millenium may have been the worst, though NT 3.5 had some interesting quirks. Because of my interest in graphic stuff, I got a Mac and live mostly without woes, but I know Windows users who also seem to be able to avoid the general run of silliness. I hope all this gets resolved for you without too much pain.Danneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129916194006552602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-60767467674354625982011-05-24T07:07:44.268-07:002011-05-24T07:07:44.268-07:00http://cwf.ca/about-us/board-of-directors

First of all, I believe that the rules are too stringent, but I really don't think that many people were willing to link the HST to their various MLAs. These MLAs may have voted with their party in enacting the HST, but had virtually nothing to do with entering into an agreement with the feds to implement it. Ida Chong and the others may face a different result come next election, but so far they have received a stay of execution, so to speak.<br /><br />The pro side of the HST is definitely in a full court press, but depending on what con Christy Clark brings forward, one would assume that the people will vote to eliminate it as long as the vote is held honestly. Considering that Craig James will still be at the helm at Elections BC, the jury is still out on whether we will see a fair vote.<br /><br />We'll just have to wait and see how things shake out.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.com
