BC Energy Minister Says No To HST

In what appears to be an internal disagreement, the BC Energy minister has resigned over the upcoming HST scheduled to take effect on July 01

This HST decision is something the provincial government pounced on within days of winning their third term in 2009. This is probably why many BC residents are upset, the government made the decision and did not properly inform us along the way.

On July 5th there will be a petition given to the provincial government with hopefully over 600,000 signatures on it.

In BC, the government may reconsider a policy if at least 10% of the voters in each of the 85 ridings have signed a petition.

The coalition against the HST, led by former Premier Bill Vander Zalm states that over 15% of voters in each riding have signed the petition.

So BC, keep your fingers crossed.
