To run or not to run?

That is the question facing six members of Oak Bay council Ryan Flaherty News staff

They may be more than four months away, but municipal elections are fast approaching in the Capital Region. Former MLA and Saanich councillor David Cubberley’s announcement earlier this month that he will challenge longtime incumbent Frank Leonard for mayor in Saanich this fall kicked things off a bit earlier than usual. And potential candidates in many local municipalities are beginning to weigh their options. Oak Bay will have a new mayor when the dust settles. Christopher Causton, who unsuccessfully ran for federal office in May, Hazel Braithwaite declared last year that he would not seek re-election, after holding the position since 1996. Already, at least one member of Oak Bay council is kicking the tires of the mayor’s chair. “I’ve been approached by a lot of people, so I’m definitely considering it,” said twoterm councillor Hazel Braithwaite.

Widowed seniors ready to strut their stuff Fashion show aims to help people move on Emma Prestwich News staff

When Joyce Bevan lost her husband last year, she realized she wasn’t alone. Instead of retreating into herself, she

started up a support and activity group for other seniors who had lost their partners. “You’ve only got one life, you have to make the most of it and keep going,” she said. The Widows and Widowers club filled a niche at Monterey Recreation Centre. Twenty-five people came to the first meeting in October and the number has

remained constant since. The group meets once a month and hosts speakers, plays bingo and goes on small out-trips. Bevan said her main aim is to show other members that while life can be rough at times, it’s still possible to have fun. PLEASE SEE: Seniors moving forward, Page A4

Gains made on housing goals

HST voting deadline extended

Coalition to End Homelessness working to lower total in region

Postal service delays prompt decision

Roszan Holmen News staff

Another year, another 535 people housed in subsidized or supported units – bringing the region closer to its goal of ending homelessness by 2018. The number is down from last year, when members of the Coalition to End Homelessness worked together to house 635 people. But the tally doesn’t tell the whole story. “We will continue to strengthen our efforts to ensure that people retain their housing for much longer periods,” said Debbie Thompson, executive director of the Coalition to End Homelessness. “Our intention is to continue to monitor that … because it’s about ensuring people have the supports to remain housed.” There’s already been progress. At first, one third of homeless clients housed were either evicted or lost their housing for a variety of reasons. That proportion has now dropped to one quarter. “We know that at least 75 per cent of the people housed remained past six months,” said Thompson. “It’s incremental but it’s steady.” The coalition held its annual general meeting Tuesday, marking two years since members agreed on a 10-year deadline to house an estimated 1,500 homeless. Hundreds of new subsidized units have opened up since, but the number of people seeking emergency shelter has also risen. The coalition’s Streets to Homes program, which began in May 2010 after a long delay, had guided 41 people into rental apartments by March 31. The pilot project aims to house 120 people in private market units. To help find more suitable units and landlords willing to participate, the coalition partnered with the Rental Owners and Managers Society of B.C. So far, six to 10 landlords have been identified through the partnership. They have pledged to dedicate 15 units by summer for people coming from supportive housing, rather than people currently living on the street. “That’s going extremely well,” Thompson said, adding that so far, she’s received positive feedback from participating landlords. Unlike most tenants, who could deface the property or fail to pay rent, Streets-to-Home clients come with direct rent payments, a support worker and an appointed landlord liaison, she said. rholmen@vicnews.com

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF

Three facing charges after school break-in

A witness’ call to police may have helped catch thieves in the act of hauling stolen merchandise away from Oak Bay High.

The witness phoned Oak Bay police at about 6 p.m. Sunday to report seeing three people carrying items that looked suspicious. Officers raced to the high school, arriving even before the alarm company called police to

report a break-in. There, they saw three individuals running away from the school. One was arrested nearby, while two others were tracked down later that night and arrested. Police found computer equip-

ment hidden just outside the school. Two underage boys and one man could be charged with breaking into the school and possession of stolen property. ecardone@vicnews.com

B.C. voters will get an extra two weeks to decide the fate of the harmonized sales tax. Acting Chief Electoral Officer Craig James has extended the HST referendum deadline to compensate for mail delivery delays stemming from the Canada Post labour dispute. The extension was requested by NDP leader Adrian Dix, who called the decision a victory for the democratic process. Ballots that had been due back July 22 must now be returned to Elections B.C. by 4:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5. Eligible voters who are not on the voters list now have until July 22 to request a voting package. The ballot packages came with a postage-paid envelope, but voters can also choose to directly return their ballots to a Service B.C. or Elections B.C. collection centre by Aug. 5. Locations are listed at www.elections.bc.ca. Elections B.C. says voters should receive their voting packages by July 7. Results of the referendum may not be known until September. Voters are asked to vote ‘Yes’ if they want to eliminate the 12-per-cent HST and return to the combination of the five-per-cent GST and seven-per-cent provincial sales tax. They’re to vote ‘No’ if they want to keep the HST. The province, in an effort to rally more support to retain the tax, has pledged to lower the rate to 10 per cent by 2014. It will also send out additional one-time rebate cheques for low-income seniors and families with children. editor@oakbaynews.com

She’s noticing that some people who were quite down when they joined are beginning to feel better. “I think the whole philosophy is great,” said Joanne Donohue, a programmer at the centre. “People can come together with enthusiasm.” In that spirit, Bevan revived Monterey’s longdormant tradition of staging a fashion show for the public. Members will march down a runway July 9 in fashions from

Country Life, a local business-casual clothing store, accompanied by music and slides of Paris shows. Donohue said the models are diverse in age and shape and will be advised on their outfits by a fashion consultant from the clothing outlet. The event isn’t a promotion for Country Life, but a creative way for the support group to come together and connect with the community, she said. “The aim is to support the group and break down stereotypes about widows and widowers.”

Bevan said one man from the group volunteered to help women down from the runway, but has since backed out because he has a girlfriend. “That’s great, he’s moving on,” she said. The fashion show happens July 9 at 1 p.m. at Monterey Recreation Centre, 1442 Monterey Ave., just off Oak Bay Avenue. Tickets are $8 for Monterey members and $9 for the general public. The price also includes a small lunch. intern@vicnews.com

Guide dogs prepared for important work Puppy raisers spend months caring for future working dogs Erin Cardone News staff

The day Tango came home with Chris Kirby was memorable. “He had a little wee on the ferry,” Kirby said, looking at the blond lab, bored and stretched out at his feet. As a seven-week-old pup, Tango was as rambunctious as any little furball, but a year and a half later, his demeanour is noticeably demure. With his B.C. Guide Dog Services working vest on, Tango knows it’s not playtime. He’s calm, horizontal on the floor and hardly flinches when other dogs come up to give him a sniff. Mojo is a far cry from Tango’s well-mannered state. At six months old, he’s easily excited and can barely sit still. At a celebration marking graduation of the first Guide Dog trained on the Island, Mojo sniffed at legs and pulled on his leash, but never did the youngster bark. “Hopefully he’ll start getting better soon,” his puppy raiser Sharel Lambert said. For both Lambert and Kirby, this is their first stint as puppy raisers for B.C. Guide Dogs. It’s a 24/7 job that involves constant hands-on involvement with the dogs and an endless supply of patience. Raisers either have to be with the dog all

And meanwhile, they must stay on their best behaviour. When the blue vest is on, the dogs are at work. Training is done by praise only – no treats – “it takes a bit more connectedness with the animal to let him know you appreciate what he did and you hope he does it again,” Lambert said. The relationship between a raiser and the dog is like a Erin Cardone/News staff working relationship, but also Six-month-old Mojo gets some love from his like that of parent and child, puppy raiser, Sharel Lambert.

OUR VIEW

Think of seniors in transit plans When it comes to planning for future transportation needs in the Capital Region, the default strategy is to ease traffic congestion in clogged areas and improve the overall flow of commuting passengers. Besides projecting population growth outside the core municipalities and figuring out how best to serve workers coming from those locations, it’s Maintaining important for our commission independence key transit and municipal for many seniors transportation planners to consider future age-related issues. With our population aging, servicing the specific transportation needs of elderly residents must increasingly be front of mind, alongside those of the work force and student populations. Many seniors are still driving. But B.C. law mandates that anyone 80 or older must undergo a medical exam every two years to ensure they are still fit to drive. Not only that, if elderly drivers are involved in a crash, they can be forced to re-take their road test before being allowed to climb behind the wheel again. For many seniors, losing their licence is the equivalent of being told they’re disabled, or worse, helpless. Personal independence, for many, is lost to a degree. Some seniors who don’t drive are already in the habit of taking the bus. For those who like the idea of B.C. Transit’s Handy Dart home pickup – it costs the same as regular buses – they’ll have to get used to reserving a day or more in advance. So much for being spontaneous and independent. Cabbing it can get expensive, but at least B.C. Transit offers taxi saver coupons to lessen the burden. An increasing number of people in Greater Victoria will soon be facing potential loss of their driver’s licence. Transit planners in the region need to be ready, with strategies that allow those seniors to maintain their independence and dignity. What do you think?

Quesnel, a Quebec Metis with a background in journalism, said he was welcomed on his initial visit and was even invited to attend a Nisga’a Lisims executive meeting. But he said Stevens and other officials “stopped responding” as the project progressed. In his statement, Stevens described the code of conduct for Nisga’a officials and the complaint process people can use to hold them accountable for decisions. The president dismissed the “colourful commentary” of a few “key informants” who didn’t expect to be quoted. Quesnel says that despite the slow progress, he remains convinced the Nisga’a treaty is a positive step. Now investors have only one government to deal with, and the region has electricity, mining and gas development on the drawing board. And there are lessons to be learned by other aboriginal communities, such as tackling dependency and addiction problems before a treaty is signed, and bringing in outside experts to set up businesses. “Mitchell Stevens, when I spoke to him, was optimistic about the ability to reduce transfers, even eliminate them,” Quesnel said. “Without financial independence, I think political self-government is really an illusion. Ultimately, you’re still dependent.” Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

LETTERS Neish’s activism over Gaza is ‘one-sided’ I can’t understand why the News believes we need to know about the antics of Kevin Neish (Ex-Oak Bay resident has Gaza in his sights, July 1). Most of the article is focused on his version of truth. First, he claims to be a pacifist, but then he takes part in a bloody incident off the coast of Gaza when the ship he was on violently tried to repulse an Israeli boarding party that the UN tells us was acting to enforce a legal blockade of Gaza in 2010. It’s interesting to note that at that time, Egypt was also enforcing that blockade, but he only blames Israel. Why is it that of the six vessels involved, his was the only one that offered resistance? Now this supposed pacifist is taking part in another “aid” trip. I have to wonder why he thinks that the people of Gaza need all this relief now that the new regime in Egypt has reneged on their responsibility to maintain the blockade, and in any case, anyone can send aid to Gaza through Israel by first landing it in Israel for inspection for weapons that are smuggled in to Hamas. Lastly, I have to wonder why he goes to all this effort, and according to him, “terrible risk” to assist Gaza when his efforts could easily be better directed to the people of Libya or Syria. In fact, the Turkish organizers of this flotilla would be doing

something more useful if they directed the aid to their own Kurdish people who are being persecuted by the Turkish authorities. The fact is he may not be the peace activist he claims to be. He is acting totally in favour of one side. Further, he is doing nothing that promotes dialogue or understanding between the two parties. Ed Walker Oak Bay

Neish a ‘gentle soul’ doing important work I have known Kevin Neish for 20 years. I met him in Central America, when he was a protector for Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Mench, and on work he has done for many human rights activists threatened by their governments. Kevin is not a political animal and certainly not an opportunist. His friends have had to work very hard to get him any press coverage for this trip, which he needs for his safety. He is a gentle soul, committed to peaceful action and he has an enormous number of friends. Alison Acker Victoria

Why must we wait for HST decrease? Finance Minister Kevin Falcon asks the taxpayers not to kill the HST to spite the government. What burns me about their

proposition (aside from the fact that they’re using taxpayers’ money to promote their side) is that once they decided to implement the HST it didn’t take them long to do it, and, come hell or high water, it was done. Now that they say they’re going to reduce it to 10 per cent, they emphasize the 10 per cent part and do their best to downplay the fact that they’re going to take four years to do it. Why is it taking four years to knock it down? The HST part is in place – it can’t be that complicated to knock two per cent off the machinery. I’m pretty sure the reason is so they can get four more years of the current HST out of us and fill their coffers to do whatever they want with the extra money. Premier Christy Clark has a nice political smile and the basis of a realistic promise, but I don’t trust her or Kevin Falcon any more than I trust any politician nowadays. You want me to possibly vote to keep the HST? Drop it to 10 per cent right now! Larry Zilinsky Saanich

Reverting from HST is step in wrong direction If we could kill the HST tomorrow and go back to the old way of taxing we would be turning the clock back a year. Instead it will take two to five years to untangle it all, while other jurisdictions in Canada and the rest of world are

implementing an HST-style tax. Why would we want to do that? Bob Broughton Saanich

Government incentives not enough on HST The Liberal government’s TV ads promoting the HST say that the people spoke and the government listened and are dropping the HST to 10 per cent. This is a blatant lie, as the people did speak via petitions and said they did not want the tax. Now the Liberals, as a bribe, are offering cheques to families with children under 18 years of age and to seniors in a certain income bracket. I have no children under 18 and do not fall into that income bracket so I will be getting nothing. The $125 they are offering is supposed to be what it costs us extra with the HST. The HST on my basic everyday expenses have already amounted to more than $125 and perhaps double that. If the HST is good for the people, the economy and industry, why do only two provinces have it? I have yet to hear the other provinces talking about it. William Jesse Oak Bay

British flavour leaves good taste for visitors Re: Bringing Britain back to Victoria I echo previous letters sent to you from many sources. Friends from England, on their

first and only visit to Canada about six years ago, were enchanted and complimented the city, saying “Victoria is more English than England.” My husband and I visited from Vancouver from 1973 until taking up residency as Islanders in 2003. I have resided in several large cities as well as New York State and California. In my books, Victoria is “it” – the most beautiful city in North America. And the jewel in its crown is its British flavour. Let’s work together to value and preserve it. Lorraine Jasmin Oak Bay

Light-rail plan needs more due diligence: chamber Public endorsement and a third-party review of the proposed billion-dollar lightrail rapid transit system are needed, given its expense and complexity, says the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce. Following a review and analysis of light rail’s potential economic impact, chamber officials called for a regionwide public referendum. “We need to clearly understand the business case for improved transit and the associated potential economic benefits,” David Marshall, chair of the chamber’s board, stated in a release. The business case is before the Ministry of Transportation and Partnerships B.C., who will serve as a thirdparty review, said B.C. Transit spokesperson, Joanna Linsangan. A referendum would have to be decided by the Victoria Regional Transit Commission, she added. emccracken@ vicnews.com

Treasure for kayakers Erin Cardone News staff

An Esquimalt company has set up a water-logged treasure hunt. Victoria Waterfront Tours, in West Bay, has taken the idea of geocaching to the Gorge to encourage people to get out and paddle. “Last year we were trying to think of ways to make more interesting paddling activities for people, especially experienced paddlers, so it may have started out with a treasure hunt idea,” said company owner Nici Baughman. “It’s just to provide a fun and interesting way to get people to promote their paddling skills, mapping skills, looking at charts and GPS.” Here’s how it works: staffers take laminated cards with numbers on them and tie them into secret locations in the Gorge and the Inner and Upper harbours. After registering at Victoria Waterfront Tours, paddlers receive a clue sheet and map. Out on the water, paddlers can search for the numbers using coordinates. When they find the cards, they return to the shop and describe the location, to receive a paddling-related prize. There are eight caches to find in all and they can only be found

from the water. “I think it’s a gentle enough waterway (for anyone) to paddle in,” Baughman said. “People can focus on their map skills without worrying about paddling conditions most of the time. It’s the perfect setting just for enjoying kayaking for the sake of kayaking and being on the water.” It’s a good way for paddlers of to learn about tides, too, she

added – one cache is partially submerged at high tide. For paddlers with equipment, the registration fee is $15. For those without, a three-hour rental and clue sheet costs $45. The caches will be out yearround. For more information, go to www.victoriawaterfronttours. com/kayakingevents.htm or call 250-858-9090. ecardone@vicnews.com

Pride swells for local celebration Emma Prestwich News staff

The small group of volunteers that pull together Victoria Pride Week activities every year are feeling the love. David Tillson, director of the Victoria Pride Society, which has organized Pride Week for 16 years, said he feels safe as a gay man in Victoria. He thinks there’s no need for the queer community to be “all stuck together” as there are a lot of people in Victoria who support the festivities. “We as a community bring our friends and I think it’s a really great thing that they’re welcome.” Attila Bassett, spokesperson for Paparazzi Nightclub, said he doesn’t want his club to be a place where straight people feel they don’t belong. “Those days are gone, when it (was) just open for gays,” he said. While there are still problems in the queer community, he prefers to put them aside during Pride Week, which is his favourite time of the year. It’s a chance to “be proud about yourself” regardless of your sexual identity, he said. Bassett donated $26,000 out of his own pocket this year to support the Victoria Pride Society, which he applauds for keeping Pride afloat. Paparazzi is also running several contests and club nights of their own. While Pride is a huge undertaking, the Victoria

Pride Society board consists of nine unpaid members, many of whom have other jobs. So the success of the week depends on the support of other community groups and venues like Paparazzi, who put on their own events. Pride grew out of a yearly picnic in Beacon Hill Park in the early 1980s and developed into a small, rag-tag parade in 1992. The city denied the first parade’s organizers a permit to march on the road, so participants were forced to Friday, July 8: the sidewalk.

Welcome the Princess of Denmark Ryan Flaherty News staff

The plays of William Shakespeare have been subject to countless re-interpretations. From characters, to setting, to dialogue, no element has escaped scrutiny. Some versions remain faithful to the originals, but others alter the content so drastically that the source material is nearly unrecognizable. Director David MacPherson’s presentation of Hamlet, opening tonight (July 6) at the Shakespeare In the Summer festival, falls somewhere in the middle. In this rendition, the Prince of Denmark is portrayed as a woman. “There are so many lines and soliloquies and phrases that are so familiar,” MacPherson said. “Making Hamlet a woman brings new things to the story and makes people look at the relationships differently.” Hamlet’s relationships with

his father, mother, stepfather and even his lover, Ophelia, are all profoundly altered by having a woman in the central role. What’s more, the impact those relationships have on Hamlet’s motives have given the play a number of new avenues to explore. “We kind of escape a bit of the trap of treating the relationship between Hamlet and Gertrude (Hamlet’s mother) as sexually charged,” MacPherson said. “This way we can step back from that and see what the mother did and why she did it and why she married so quickly.” It’s one of several instances where MacPherson has taken a step back from the more sensational elements of the story in favour of a more thoughtprovoking approach. The honour of playing the now-female Dane has been handed to Melissa Blank, who has previously appeared in Shakespeare In the Summer productions of Julius Caesar

Young musicians will splash with Symphony

Vision Matters

Symphony Splash happens July 31

Dr. Neil Paterson

Erin McCracken With pigtails bouncing, Alice Lee wields her violin with an emotional maturity that belies her young age. That and her enormous talent are the reasons the 11-year-old Saanich resident was chosen as the young soloist for the 22nd annual Victoria Symphony Splash. The free event is expected to draw about 40,000 spectators to the Inner Harbour on July 31. Alice has performed before 50 people at the most, but says no matter the size of the crowd, her focus is on the music: she’ll perform Max Bruch’s “Violin Concerto No. 1” with the Victoria Symphony orchestra. “I’m going to be a tad nervous, but I know that when I’m playing I’m not going to actually notice everyone,” said Alice, who practices violin daily after school for two hours – up to six hours on weekends. When the News interviewed her during a World Vision project at her St. Michaels University junior school in March, she spoke of her dream of one day becoming a famous violinist. Just a few months later, she is about to have her dream come true, albeit a bit earlier than planned. “It’ll be my professional debut,” Alice said proudly, after Symphony Splash

music director Tania Miller introduced her to a crowd at a media event last week. The event will receive another injection of young talent when the orchestra performs “Winds of Kananaskis,” a composition by 17-year-old Jared Richardson. The View Royal pianist and trombonist composed the piece when he was 15, although he has written 70 pieces since age 11. Like Alice, the crowd at Symphony Splash will be Richardson’s largest audience. “I was pretty excited and surprised of course,” said Richardson, who hopes to one day compose film scores. “I had no idea (Miller) was going to call.” Symphony Splash begins with a Splash

If you wear safety glasses at work, you should get the best possible fit to protect you from hazards as well as to insure that you see as sharply as possible. Your eye doctor will first give you a thorough vision examination, checking for sources of eye irritation and other vision related problems. He or she will also check your visual acuity, eye coordination, and muscle function. In recommending the beset safety glasses for your needs, your eye doctor will want to know the type of work you do. What level of eye protection is required for your particular occupation? Does your work require that you view object at far and near? Depending on your age you may need safety glasses that correct for vision both close up and in the distance. The position of the tasks you perform must also be considered. If your close up work is above eye level, for example, there are even glasses that have the bifocals on top so that you can work above your head with comfort. Ensure your safety glasses and all your eyewear are meeting your needs as well as possible. See your Optometrist for regular eye examinations.

After 30 years as president of Santas Anonymous, and more years on the board, Mel Cooper has officially stepped down. “I believe we need to encourage younger people who want to help,” said Cooper of his reason for stepping down. “I’m feeling very comfortable that it is in really good shape … From a little acorn, a big Christmas tree has grown.” It was 34 years ago that real-estate agent Marilyn Cann appealed to Cooper to help out her Christmas charity after its media sponsor backed out. Cooper, who owned CFAX at the time, agreed and the charity has been tied to the station since. The father of five, grandfather of 12, and greatgrandfather of five says it’s all about the children. “I always felt that children were the victims of what we adults couldn’t do for them,” he said. Cooper, who chairs the Telus Victoria Community Board, added he’s not cutting ties with Santas Anonymous completely. “My last message to the board and to the current president, Alan Brown, was to say, ‘Alan, you know how to get me.’” rholmen@vicnews.com CENTRAL PARK

A lifelong Oregon Ducks fan, Mount Douglas Rams star running back Terrell Davis made a verbal commitment to play university football for the Ducks’ Pac-10 conference rival, the Washington State Cougars in 2012. Davis, who just completed Grade 11, only recently became eligible for recruitment but wasted little time making his choice. The speedy back is one of many Rams playing in the Canada Cup for Team B.C. (under-18) starting Saturday (July 9) in Lethbridge, Alta.

Metro Capitals tops in B.C.

The Victoria Capitals under-14 boys soccer team won the provincial title, 5-0 over Kamloops in Richmond on Saturday. The Capitals, a metro Lower Island Soccer Association team, took the lead two minutes in on a goal from Dario Zanatta (Gorge FC) on a cross by Kieran Large (Prospect Lake). The second half started similarly, with Brian Im (Gordon Head) scoring in the first minute. Zanatta soon added two more goals for the hat trick. The first came on a penalty shot and on the second he converted a rebound off a shot by Bilal Mohamed (Gorge FC). Next up for the Capitals are the Canadian Soccer Association’s national championships in Mount Pearl, Nfld. this October.

GarminCervelo sprint to lead There is hope yet for Ryder Hesjedal, who was part of the crash in the final kilometres of the Tour de France’s opening stage on Saturday. Hesejdal was part of the peleton that looked to be completing stage 1 in unison and would thereby finish tied for the lead time. But the Belmont secondary grad and lone Canadian on the Tour was caught up in an unavoidable accident - a cyclist’s nightmare as multiple racers fell to the road. Hesjedal’s GarminCervelo teammate, Christian Vande Velde, was also in the crash. Meanwhile, a large group from the peleton continued undeterred, including GarminCervelo’s Thor Hushovd and Tyler Farrar. They ended the stage at one minute and 55 seconds ahead of the group of recovered crashers. Hesjedal had his reservations about the likelihood of regaining

The BC Liberal/Big Business

TOP 7 HST MYTHS The BC Liberal “myths” about the HST just keep piling up. Following is their latest Top Seven – all new and misleading as ever – HST Myths: 1. The HST is now 10% - False

Casey B. Gibson/Garmin-Cervelo

Ryder Hesjedal after stage 1 of the 2011 Tour de France, Passage du Gois to Mont des Alouettes. a spot in the top 10, but has plenty to race for as Garmin-Cervelo was in first place by one second. “The motivation is still there to do well. We have the strongest team ever for the Tour de France, so we want to have fun, enjoy racing and get some results,” Hesjedal said in the team’s Sunday report. Stage 2 was huge as Garmin-Cervelo won the time trial and Hesjedal gained 31 seconds on the lead,

a push back from the rider who ended the 2010 Tour de France in seventh place. “I was a little upset (after Saturday’s crash), because that wasn’t in the plans, but we have to put that behind us. We’re here to race hard and we did.” Stages 2 and 3 were full of sweet irony as Hesjedal’s teammates Hushovd (Norway) and Farrar (U.S.), a pair of renowned sprinters, won the yellow jerseys, respectively. sports@vicnews.com

The HST is 12% and will not be 10% for three years – if ever. There will be an election before that, and even if the HST were to miraculously drop to 10% - it will still apply to hundreds more goods and services than a 12% PST/GST for a total tax increase to consumers of $1.6B per year. And who says it won’t go right back up again later?

2. The HST will lower taxes – False This one is hilarious. The HST increases taxes for British Columbians by $2.8 Billion per year. That’s an average annual increase of $500 per person - or $1208 per average family – forever. Finance Minister Falcon says if his side loses he may disregard the result and expand the PST to items previously exempt – which would be illegal. Do you really trust this guy to cut the rate if he wins?

3. The HST will save you money - False And the tooth fairy is going to leave you a quarter under your pillow too. To get their numbers to show the HST actually “saving” you money they are calculating only “routine purchases” and that 90% of what you pay in HST will be passed back to you in lower prices. Have you seen lower prices?... We didn’t think so.

4. The HST benefits seniors - False Seniors and people on fixed incomes are some of the hardest hit by the HST. A one time rebate of $175 if you vote in favour of their tax in exchange for paying it for the rest of your life is a deal only a snake oil salesman would offer. Why take $175 when you can vote to cancel the HST and keep all your money? How dumb do they think we are?

5. The HST benefits families – False Next to seniors, working families are hardest hit by the HST because they are among the largest consumers and have dependent children. Bribes of $175 per child when your cost is closer to $400 a year each makes you wonder if they think all of us failed math as badly as they did. And what about a single mom with two kids going to college? She gets nothing while the Premier and Finance Minister who earn big six figure salaries get the rebate. Nice.

6. Business will pay more so you pay less - False A temporary increase of 2% in corporate taxes will be passed on to consumers with increased prices. Either way you pay the final bill whether it’s in HST or higher prices.

7. We’ll owe $1.6 Billion if we cancel the HST - False The “Independent Panel” says the HST generated $850 million more than budgeted. Setting aside that is the biggest tax grab in BC history, it means government already has $850 million to repay Ottawa. BC has only received $1B, and Ottawa collected $300M more in corporate taxes under HST than under PST. So it’s a wash. And keeping the HST would cost British Columbians alot more than killing it – over $28 Billion in new taxes in just 10 years.

Vote YES to extinguish the HST and save your province, your democracy, and your money!
