So, we can expect to be hearing a lot more about the HST in the next month or so. As of today, the people opposed to the new tax have 90 days to get a whole whack of signatures on a petition. They need 10-percent of the voters in every riding in B-C... 85 ridings. But if they do it, they could defeat the tax. I don't know a whole about the details, but it seems pretty obvious that this tax will hurt consumers like you and me and will only really benefit big business. It's gonna cost you more to eat out at restaurants, buy gym memberships, bikes, used cars and even funeral services. Pretty much everything that was PST exempt will now cost an extra seven percent. If this sounds like it sucks, and it does, I urge you to take five minutes out of your life and sign one of these petitions when you see it. It could save you a whole lot of money in the long run.
