Earlier today, Premier Campbell made the following comments on the HST & efforts from anti-HST supporters: (from News 1130's website)
"The HST has been done. We are moving forward with it. The issues that we're dealing with in the Parliament right now, or the Legislature today are, should we eliminate the PST, and we're saying yes we should eliminate the PST"
and
"Campbell says if you're against the HST, you're against economic development in B.C., and he says it's very important for generating jobs in the province"
I must say - I regret that the Premier said the above comments because I know that there are BC Liberal Party members who support the Party but don't support the BC Government moving forward on the HST and these comments do nothing to help bridge the gap between HST supporters and opponents, especially those within the BC Liberal Party.
I suspect these comments will galvanize efforts to begin recall proceedings' against BC Liberal MLA's starting on November 12th and there is a good chance that BC political history will be made because I believe at least 1-3 BC Liberal MLA's have a 90% chance of having their seats being declared vacant. So I would encourage the Premier and his officials not to made provocative comments when expressing support for the Provincial Government HST initiative
