Open Letter to MLAs
The HST transitional funding given to B.C. was intended to, as done in Ontario, assist those hardest hit by an increased sales tax. Campbell used that 1.8 billion dollars of my hard earned money to treat his rich friends to a free Olympics experience, thereby purchasing an undeserved plush sinecure far away from the debt legacy he created.
Now, I and my fellow victims of legalized government theft must pay this twice. No, I say these thieves who supported this scam be tried and held personally liable for every dollar Ottawa is demanding be returned.
The hard-hit low income families in Ontario received an extra GST/HST rebate cheque the month prior to the HST taking effect. We in B.C. got nothing.
