Harper Trying To Manupilate BC and the HST Referendum

 The following was e-mailed to me and it deserves looking into.

 

The hated HST put Stephen Harper in hot water today, and his attempts to distance himself from the tax are only making things worse, says New Democrat MP Peter Julian (Burnaby-New Westminster).

Harper told reporters this morning “I want to be clear, I don't want to get involved in this issue.”

At the same time he admitted that BC would be required to repay the $1.6 billion HST transfer payment if British Columbians reject the tax in June’s referendum.

“Mr. Harper says he doesn’t want to get involved, yet he’s holding a $1.6 billion dollar hammer over the heads of British Columbians,” said Julian. “His attempts to distance himself from the HST are falling flat, and that’s why he’s going to lose seats to the NDP in BC.”

Julian noted that the HST came about after Harper approached Gordon Campbell in the first place.

“Mr. Harper worked with Gordon Campbell to impose the HST on BC, he sweetened the deal with a $1.6 billion transfer payment, he rammed the tax through Parliament – and every single one of his BC MPs went along with it,” said Julian.

“Now Mr. Harper is struggling to pretend he had nothing to do with it, but it’s not working. The Conservatives are tripping all over themselves on this issue,” said Julian.

Julian also noted that federal Liberal MPs from BC are also in hot water because they voted for the HST.

“That’s why Mr. Harper acknowledged today that the race in BC is between Conservatives and New Democrats,” said Julian. “British Columbians feel betrayed by both the Conservatives and the Liberals.”

Earlier in the campaign, Jack Layton committed to British Columbians he would not force BC to repay the $1.6 billion back if the tax is rejected in June’s referendum.

 

So, the way I see it.

First Harper lied to the people when he said he wouldn't get involved then immediately threatened us by saying we'd have to give back the money (1.6 Billion). That statement alone tells me that he is going to rob us of $235 Million. Why? Because that was the amount o the gift/bribe/seed money that he GAVE the province for taking the deal.

 

Next Iggy has told us that he may raise the GST. That tax is part of the HST in BC. So up goes a tax that we cannot already afford. By the way we have no recourse in BC with the HST if any Federal Government wants to raise our taxes. Gordon Campbell (the best person to anage our money) sealed that fate by forcing this tax on us.

Finally, Jack Layton will not penalize us for reversing this money grab.

I know who I'm voting for. Do you?

 

It's Time For A Fresh Party To Govern The Country

     It's no secret that I have voted NDP in the past . Both Federally and Provincially.

     For reasons I won't go into here I will not be voting for the Provincial NDP nor the Liberals but will either vote BC First or a Independent Candidate if there will be one running for the position of MLA.

     But for the upcoming Federal election I will be voting for the Federal NDP candidate Michael Crawford  in my riding.of Kamloops -Thompson -Cariboo I will also be actively campaigning against our present MP Cathy McLeod  for the sole reason that she openly supports HST in BC.

There is no doubt that the HST is hurting seniors and low income families. There is also no doubt that it is helping big business.

Remember when this ta was being forced on us and Campbell and Hansen were telling us how it will allow business to lower prices. We knew that was a bald faced lie then. and we have the proof now. I'd like anyone out there to prove to e that prices have lowered. So people will say "well liquor was lowered". Bullshit. And it's on record that the Liberals, when they saw that was going to happen, raised the price accordingly.

As far as other prices going down, business is now saying "well we haven't had a raise in quite a while, so we'll use this as a raise." What a pathetic god damn excuse. The HST is nothing but a ripoff of our meager wages and another way to give out corporate welfare.
As for Voting NDP Federally. Their time has come. For more than 100 years, big business money has run this country. They would have you believe that the NDP would ruin the country. What proof do they have?
None. Absolutely squat. It's a scare tactic that is backed by the big business media in this country. There is no evidence of the NDP ruining the country because they have never been elected as the Governing Party

If you disagree with me let me know. Give me some evidence. Otherwise, just gou out and vote anyone but the Bloc, Liberals, or conservatives.

Canada.com won't use the word crap.

 My response to an article in the province about the conservative spin on a "coalition" that defeated them was met by what I think is ridiculous editing by the editors

What's all this (my original post said "crap") BS about a coalition? Had this criminal government been defeated by a predetermined agreement about the budget then Maybe there would be a coalition But they were defeated  on a non confidence motion because they were in contempt of parliament. They had contempt for the voters they are supposed to represent and were defeated by the Her Majesties Loyal Opposition.
And I might add here that the NDP are the only party that hasn't had the chance to screw up. All those that keep spouting about doom and gloom if the NDP are elected had better come up with irrefutable proof that they will screw
Crap could mean a few things like stuff laying around or shit. But BS only means one thing. Bullshit.
Go figure

Patience

     We are going through a bit of a crisis in the house of "E". I realize it has been a  month since my last post, and will attempt to post more regularly but or now I ask for your patience.
Once the problems have been worked through we will be back in force. In the meantime I will post a ew that are sitting in the que once in a while.

Thanks folks

Liberal Spin on HST, Unspun

"All that can be said for certain is that the HST gives a cost break to some businesses with the break being a greater proportion of cost the lower labour is as a proportion of total costs, since labour is not subject to the tax or its credits; the elimination of the HST and return to the PST would give most service and previously PST exempt industries a 7% price advantage relative to the HST system."

David Schreck has a indepth article on the HST HERE

In reading this article there were some things I did not understand. But in general he has spelled out what I have realized for quite some time.

It is a long read but well worth the effort..

And So The Whitewash Of The BC Liberals In The BC Rail Giveaway Begins

     Almost 8 years of pretrial and closed trial wrangling took another turn yesterday as the Judge (justice Anne MacKenzie released, without any apparent effort, trial Documents to selected media. Media that I allege has been practicing Yellow Journalism for so long that the people have no real idea what is happening in BC.

     Almost immediately the Globe and CTV come out absolving Cristy Clark and the Liberals of any wrong doing.

     An anonymous commenter at Bill Tielemans Blog points us to a Globe article here. And after I read the article I had one huge question.

     "How can they come to that conclusion when the police in the very begining said that "no elected officials" were under investigation. That statement right there tells us that a conclusion that the Globe and CTV came to is absolutely unbelievable.

     How could anyone in their right mind come to a conclusion like that when there was according to the police NO Investigation.

     As I stated on Tielemans blog the can we expect that they will report to us fairly?

      If the people in this province want any information on this Farce of a trial I urge you to not believe what you read or hear in the MSM. But go to places like BC Mary's, *Kootcoots, Ross K, Lailas, Grant Gs Tielemans and a ton of other blogs that have reported on this.

*Kootcoots blog House of infamy appears to have been closed. I'll check it out.
