Today in history, Sept 1,1951

ANZUS treaty signed between Australia ,New Zealand and the US

The Premier announced that we would have a return to the PST consumer tax here in BC in about a year.The referendum is not legally binding and may be challenged in court by interested parties or opposition parties can run on it.There was a contract with the Federal Government that may have upset damages to consider. We are losing a great benefit when it comes to carbon trading . That  by experts similar to the sulphur credit trading of the Regan Era. There may be damages against  the province from private interests as well to consider. A lot can happen in a year however the electorate has made its opinion  known on an issue.However warchests may low after a bad recession and compromise may the order of the day.

If the government doesn’t come up with a good pst system then the economy may go in the bucket here. Some HST nay sayers are known for poor bashing  and the small amount of monies used to compensate the poor for consumption taxes and carbon tax could wind up also a catalyst for blaming bad economies on the most vulnerable.

There is also some doubt about whether there was a broken promise to not bring the HST by Gordon Campbell no video seems  vocal from media monitoring that promise in the campaign . IT is just the right thing to float in the coffee clutches for resentment.

A lot of people voted in the referendum thinking it was a simple solution to return to PST at 7 percent and it may well be; but our lifestyle may stay more like the old Mexican economy based on tourism and mixed with what the police could collect from the vilified.

There  is no simple solution here if there is a large enough constituency to support….. the electorate majority although slim is deemed to be correct most of the time if they have all the relevent information.So lets see what washes up in the next few weeks.

Here is what one source says was a broken promise.:

When specifically asked by both the Greater Vancouver Homebuilders
Association and B.C.’s Restaurant and Food Services Association if they
were thinking about the HST, the Liberals sent both organizations
identical letters stating: “A harmonized goods and services tax is not
something that is contemplated in the B.C. Liberal election platform.”
Not only that, but he also stated that should his government decide to
implement this tax, they would consult with industry before doing so.
Now, mere months after the election, he has broken those promises.
