British Columbians have shot themselves in the foot

Dear Editor: We have to be out of our minds in this province! Granted, the Liberals did a very poor job bringing the HST about. But they were even less responsible taking it to the vote.

Dear Editor:

We have to be out of our minds in this province!

Granted, the Liberals did a very poor job bringing the HST about. But they were even less responsible taking it to the vote.

The HST was economy-positive and would have attracted business and jobs.

I can just hear the chorus of those who voted down the HST when they realize that repealing the HST is a job killer, and the B.C. economy fails to compete and grow.

You can bet they will be the first crowing about help from the government to do something.

And one of the best tools of government to encourage growth would be to implement the HST.

We really do shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes.
