I just happened to come across the article by Ted Mitchell and am infuriated by something he said. How can he claim that things like home heating, electricity, automobile gas, etc.,things that are not now charged with PST, are things we have a choice whether to purchase or not? Are they not basics? We could try to cut down somewhat, but with these things there is a limit in our climate. THESE ARE NOT LUXURY ITEMS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXEMPTED. And you don't really think that these one-time "bribes" & "credits" will help in the long run, after the HST remains forever? Didn't other provinces who brought in the HST at least lower the rates, rates which would last longer than these short term "bribes"?
