◆ WATSON ISLAND DISPUTE
Court date for the case between City and Sun Wave pushed back to October 31 By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The City of Prince Rupert will have to wait a little longer for their day in court, as the BC Supreme Court has granted Sun Wave Forest Products’ request to postpone any hearings on the matter until the fall. The hearing on the case, which has to do with Sun Wave contesting ownership of the site and access to the equipment after its bid to buy the land back through a tax sale was rejected, is now set for October 31, 2011. The case was originally to go to trial on June 16 and 17 for the first court action and June 22 and 23 for the second, but Sun Wave requested more time and more documents related to the tax sale from the City in a June 7 filing. The court agreed with Sun Wave and granted the extension on June 8.

â—† UPDATE TO COUNCIL
Gains being made in health care By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View According to Northern Health, approximately 350 people in Prince Rupert are without a family doctor. Less than two years ago, it was estimated there were 4,500 people unattached to a physician. And of that 350, said Northern Health Chief Operating Officer Marina Ellinson, some people choose to visit the hospital, rather than one of the City’s clinics to become attached to a doctor. Ellinson made a presentation to City Council last Monday evening, updating council on health news in the northwest region. While four physicians are leaving Prince Rupert, she told council, two new ones have arrived, two are in the process of arriving, and one recently had a tour of the community. In addition, three of the departing physicians have kept locum privileges so they can come back and work for two to four weeks and up to a year. “That’s a very positive thing,� Ellinson said of the locum requests, adding there is lots of interest in Prince Rupert.
“I don’t know whether you’re waving magic wands or sprinkling fairy dust around, but these physicians are calling and saying, what’s with Prince Rupert?� Ellinson told council. Councillor Joy Thorkelson asked if the doctors that are leaving are from the new Primary Health Care Centre, located in the old Greene Clinic, and heard that three that have been working there are leaving the clinic. Sheila Gordon-Payne, wearing her Northern Health Administrator hat as also part of the presentation, said two are a husband and wife couple that are relocating to another clinic in town to practice with colleagues they have developed a connection with, and Northern Health is now looking for two doctors for the centre. The third doctor is one of the ones retaining his locum privileges, but plans to leave the community. Commenting on the hiring of a psychiatrist for Prince Rupert, as reported in the Prince Rupert Northern View last week, Ellinson said he picked Prince Rupert over a number of communities. He will be moving to the city along with his wife who is a school

psychologist. “He toured Prince Rupert, met with the mayor and some of the local physicians for a very positive tour. It’s been seven years that you have not had a psychiatrist so this is wonderful news,� Ellinson said. Councillor Kathy Bedard asked if Northern Health intends to follow up with chronic concerns in the community around diabetes and other Shaun Thomas photo illnesses.

◆ REDUCTIONS IN EFFECT
Mail delivery service being cut back to three days per week By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Starting this week mail delivery in Prince Rupert is going to be reduced down to only three days a week instead of the normal five. One might think that this is a move by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) to put pressure on Canada Post during the strike, but that isn’t the case. The reduction of delivery service was ordered by the crown corporation itself, which it claims is supposed to reduce the costs of the strike for the taxpayer. According to Canada Post representatives, the amount of mail going through the public mail system has dropped dramatically since the strike began, due most likely to
employees not to come in to work. According to Picard, this alone has already begun to create a backlog of undelivered mail in Prince Rupert, and if deliveries are cut it’s certain to get worse. The corporation admits that it’s very possible that the volume of mail in Prince Rupert has not dropped like it has in other parts of the country. Representative from Canada Post say that they will be monitoring the flow of mail and making increasing deliveries where they are needed. Montreal, for instance, will be stay at a fiveday delivery schedule because Week of June 15 the volume of mail there has Not for Navigational Purposes remained high.

people and businesses finding alternatives to the postal service during the strike. The 66 to 70 trucks full of mail that came out of Toronto on a daily basis has dropped to under 10, according to the crown corporation. With less mail comes less revenues say the representatives, and so they have decided cut delivery days in order to save money that must ultimately come out of the pockets of the federal government. Postal workers have accused the corporation of cutting hours as a tactic in the ongoing labour dispute. Paula Picard is the CUPW representative in Prince Rupert; she says that the volume of mail coming into the city has not dropped, and if it has, not by much. Before cutting deliveries, the corporation also stopped paying for overtime last week and told casual and temp

a vote we’re pretty sure we know which way the Conservatives are going to go, but this is also about the political pressure. This is a very threatening issue to them since they almost lost two seats on it...They’re trying to frame the issue as a done-deal and that it’s no big deal, when we know its quite the opposite,” says Cullen. The oil tanker ban is largely directed at stopping the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Project. The company says that it isn’t surprised that the NDP is raising the issue in the house again, since it has seen similar bills introduced in the House before. But, representatives of the company say that such legislation is can be very vague, and without proper clarification it could harm existing businesses interests whole trying to prevent new ones from being established. “Is it specifically aimed at one type of tanker? One particular terminal? I think it needs some clarification, because there is already a considerable off the coat of British Columbia that could be potentially impacted by this sort of legislation,” say Enbridge representative, Paul Stanway.

By Kat Lee Black Press The group that wants to buy Shames Mountain and turn it into a non-profit co-operative will abandon the project if it doesn’t raise $2 million by the end of the year. “We need to draw a line in the sand somewhere on when we’re just going to give up and return the money to the membership, and we chose that date so that it could be wrapped into people’s taxation year,” said Jon Hopper, one of My Mountain Co-op’s founding directors. But he said right now, the initiative is carrying on. “The ultimate goal is to make this thing happen,” he said. “And we will keep pushing until we get there, or it’s just deemed unfeasible.” The current owners, the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation, has had Shames Mountain for sale for several years and recently dropped the asking price to $1.3 million. A local group of volunteers called the Friends of Shames put forth the My Mountain Coop concept. The Co-op had originally set a deadline of the end of April to come up with $2 million – $1.3 million to buy the mountain and another $700,000 for costs and improvements. When it fell short of the mark, it then posted a May 31 target date. As of late last week, the Coop has raised $340,000 through 667 personal memberships and 69 corporate and business sponsorships. “Essentially, it was an internally imposed deadline to try and stimulate the urgency of this. People aren’t getting the urgency,” Hopper said of the April and May target dates. “There is a real risk of losing

Hopper says the co-op initiative is contingent on continual fundraising and membership sales to have the purchase money in hand and to do required maintenance. “To make this a go, we need to make this purchase agreement, have it signed within the next month or two, because we need to hire a general manager and get going on the summer maintenance,” he said. “We’ve really identified about $600,000 dollars worth of repairs we want to make, so we need the money to make them, and we need the time to get them done.” Shames Ski Corp.’s Gerry Martin said it wants the sale

The group hoping to raise $2 million to save Shames Mountain and run it as a Co-op has set a year-end deadline to raise the necessary money. process to start by the end of June as the co-op has a “whole bunch of things they have to do.” The co-op and the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding May 5 to establish negotiations leading to a purchase agreement. The intention is for the co-op to run the mountain this winter. Meanwhile, Shames Mountain has yet to start selling its traditional early bird season passes. “We’re hoping, actually, that the Co-op will get that organized,” Martin said of the season pass sale. “They not only need the early season pass sale from a revenue point of view, but it’s the message that it sends out there, that yes, things are going ahead, and yes, the mountain’s going to be open, those kinds
of things,” he continued. My Mountain Co-op had wanted to start selling passes in June but Hopper said it can’t proceed until there’s a signed purchase agreement. “We’ve done well, but we’re not where we’re need to be,” he said. The co-op is seeking nominations for its first board of directors. Elections will take place this September and the board will be finalized before the co-op’s first annual general meeting, also to take place in September. The board will consist of between five and nine directors depending on the number of nominations received, and nominations are still being accepted. The four founding directors – Hopper, Curtis Billey, Jamie Hahn and Shaun Stevenson – will be responsible for the Coop until then.

OPINION
MY VIEW…
Kudos to the Paint Prince Rupert crew... I remember being at a Chamber of Commerce lunch earlier this year that included a panel discussion on the successes and challenges of businesses in town that featured Scott Farwell of the Crest Hotel, David Smook of Seahorse Trading Co. and Homework and Glen Saunders of Cow Bay Gifts and the Yellow House in Terrace. After Scott and David gave their input on the subject, which was certainly pertinent and insightful, I remember Glen saying that his story was more or less a story about paint. It was such a different and unexpected response that it drew a bit of laughter from the crowd, who were all familiar with Glen’s different business ventures. He pointed to painting the Cow Bay Gift Galley building, the Yellow House and his newest venture, Flying Fish, as some of the reason for success in terms of creating an attractive business and somewhere that people want to be. But it made perfect sense: If people don’t view an establishment as somewhere they want to enter and if it looks run down and poorly maintained, they’re not as likely to check it out or give that establishment their money. And while the topic was businesses in general, Glen made no bones about the fact that several structures in downtown Prince Rupert could use a coat of paint or two themselves and that it could have a similar effect for the community. Fast forward to the present, and you can see just how right he was. Along with Hecate Strait, Glen has taken on a project
to beautify the city by bringing some vibrant colours to the downtown core. And even with the program just getting off the ground, I can tell you as a resident that it’s having an impact. The buildings and the area as a whole look that much better driving around today than they did a few weeks ago
when some family commented on the state of downtown. It’s easy to talk about what can be done to improve the community, but it’s entirely different to go out and do it. And when someone does that, like Glen has done, he certainly deserves kudos and a tip of the hat.

Painting Prince Rupert, and looking at BC Ferries profitability Over the past several years I’ve been getting a little grumpy every time I see a BC Ferries annual report. Just for starters, the focus on profit is galling. I don’t care if it was the province or BC Ferries that mandated that one of our highway systems needed to be profitable, it’s still ridiculous to my way of thinking. It becomes particularly hypocritical when inland ferries are still offered free of cost, while the costs of those providing vital service to coastal communities are being jacked up at an alarming rate. Just last week we heard concerns that tourism on the Gulf Islands was at extreme risk – the Denman-Hornby Ferry Advisory Committee says that the islands have almost completely lost day-trippers as a result of high fares – and residents may be soon be forced from the islands by skyrocketing ferry rates. And those fare increases, including an additional fuel surcharge not mentioned in most media stories, continued as BC Ferries Commissioner Gord Macatee announced a review of BC Ferries that will focus on fare increases.

I’ve contended for a long time now that BC headquarters in Victoria. “The year ahead is going to be a challenging Ferries offers a poor showing as a result of
misguided marketing effort and pricing itself out of the market. In Prince Rupert we’ve turned a corner in tourism. The strength of our local product, and our strategic position, allowed us to survive the latter part of the last decade in comparatively good shape. We now seem to be on a steady increase. Perhaps Mr. Hahn should ponder this apparent contradiction. Paint Prince Rupert On another note, we’re seeing what I believe is a renewal in community pride and optimism here in Prince Rupert. I felt that at Seafest – as did many others I spoke with on the weekend. The outstanding “Paint Prince Rupert” initiative being spearheaded by Glen Saunders and the Hecate Strait Employment Development Society is an extremely visible example of this. This weekend they’re holding a paint-a-thon of sorts, in hopes of simultaneously tackling three projects.

Time to fix the weather to draw more people to Rupert Editor: I very much enjoy reading Bruce Wishart’s column on the tourism industry. I think we are lucky to have the likes of him and Shaun Stevenson to attract tourism from far away as Europe and Asia. However, I feel that we are neglecting a market a little closer to home. Having spent a majority of my years on the West Coast of Vancouver Island I quite frequently visit my home town (Tofino) to see family and friends. Whether it is Tofino, Nanaimo or Vancouver, people have a very common dismal impression of Prince Rupert. “How can you live there”? “It always rains”! The truth of the matter is that Prince Rupert receives just over 90” annual precipitation, while Tofino – Ucleulet area receives close to 120” per annum. As Goe Gardiner stated several years ago in his Daily News column
on this very topic “you haven’t seen it rain until you have visited Tofino”. In all fairness however these downpours occur mainly between November and March. It is drier and a bit warmer through the summer months than here. The storm track is also frequently pushed north in the summer months, which gives Prince Rupert a constant cloud cover for sometimes weeks at a time. Prince Rupert is a very difficult area to predict even a short-term forecast mainly due to a large body of cold water, mountains and a major warm current just off Haida Gwaii. So what is the solution, change the weather? Maybe! Sadly enough BCTV is all we have to give a detailed account of what “they perceive” to be happening weather wise on the North Coast. On this
beautiful day BCTV says we will have a few showers, which I am sure will not happen. The problem is inaccurate forecasts occur on a regular basis throughout the year. I miss the big sign that blew off the top of the Highliner displaying the time and current temperature. On one occasion several years ago I watched the noon news, and then headed into town, the temperature from the airport was 16oC on two consecutive days while the Highliner sign read 24oC and the next day 25oC. With all due respect to the people who
515 Taylor Street
reside in Dodge and Kipson Cove, Prince Rupert is not on Digby Island and should not receive their weather reports. Several years ago Victoria moved its weather station from Esquimalt to a more representable location for this very reason. A 12-14 degree temperature report in midsummer is common due to a fog shrouded airport when the rest of the province may be breaking temperature records. This can be a huge determining factor to a group planning a getaway to the North Coast. See story Weather, page 8

Weather one consideration
We must move the reporting station to a location in town, possibly the Coast Guard at Seal Cove. As we know the current fee structure of BC Ferries deters many from traveling the Northern Ferry routes, which is detrimental to the economy of Prince Rupert. Maybe
we can boast having the only ship in the fleet where you have to pay to look out the forward windows! We are living in an interesting time however. Just waiting for the next “Money Grab” price hike from BC Ferries. We just may see an uprising in Haida Gwaii that will make Tripoli look like a retirement destination.

Postal Union president explains why a strike is needed Editor: The year 1997 was the last time the Canadian Union of Postal Workers hit the streets. 14 years ago, we put our jobs, our homes, our families and our bodies on the line. Now, we’re doing it again, not only for the people we work with, but also for the people who will be working at Canada Post in the future. We are proud to be an organization of workers that fights hard to improve the working conditions of its members. As such, we make no apologies for refusing unreasonable concessions demanded of us by a profitable company. While making $1.7 billion in profits for 15 years, Canada Post has kept one of the lowest standard postage rates in the industrialized world. Canada Post has also contributed $1.2 billion to the federal government in dividends and income taxes over the last 15 years. Some members of the public have the mistaken idea that their taxes are paying for our wages. The truth is that we
do not cost the public money. By keeping Canada Post profitable, our hard work actually saves the public money. CUPW has tried during this round of bargaining to solve the problems our members face every day at work. We want to fix staffing problems, route measurement and forced overtime problems, delivery method problems and health and safety issues. We have offered to address Canada Post’s concerns with our proposals, but they are only interested in their own demands for concessions. Negotiations are supposed to be about give and take. Postal workers want to negotiate but when the other side is taking instead of talking, we are forced to use our legal right to strike in the hope that when we withdraw our labour and picket our workplaces, the pressure will compel Canada Post to negotiate. Going on strike is no joke. It’s not a decision we are making lightly and we wouldn’t be making it at all if our employer weren’t so
determined to aggressively cut labour costs. We’ve told Canada Post there are alternatives to stripping all workers of their sick plan and new workers of their wages. Other postal administrations are rising to the challenge of declining mail volumes instead of stooping to attack their workers. For example, they’re using their networks for services such as banking. In 2008, 44 countries had post offices with banking services that accounted for more than 20 per cent of the total revenue. A postal bank existed in this country from 1867 to 1969 as a trusted alternative to the big commercial banks. In the wake of the financial crisis, never has such an alternative been more relevant. With innovative ideas like this, Canada Post could continue to be a profitable, effective corporation that meets its universal service obligation and the needs of the public. It doesn’t have to take the lazy way out by squeezing its workers instead of improving
its services. Unfortunately, it’s choosing to take advantage of the recession to demand workers pay for its projections of future decline instead of working with us to find solutions. Canada Post may be buying billions of dollars worth of new technologies but its labour relations practices date back to the days of disco. What management is proposing rolls our wages and benefits back to the twentieth century even though the cost of living in the twenty-first century keeps on rising and it is getting increasingly difficult for the national average income earner (such as a postal worker) to make ends meet. You can’t “modernize” a company with the regressive labour standards Canada Post is proposing. Nor can you look after your family with an 18 per cent wage cut. But that’s exactly what the corporation is expecting new employees to do. Their insistence on this and other rollbacks forces us to strike. We know that going on strike
takes our fight to the public even though we are not fighting the public. As postal workers who care deeply about what we do, it’s an upsetting prospect to be facing angry people, including customers we have known and served for years. But we also know that we have support from many people who understand that sometimes workers have to strike to fight for an important principle like decent jobs. We feel confident that many people will understand why we have to strike in order to get Canada Post to negotiate seriously. We especially hope that the young workers whose wages and benefits we are struggling to preserve will honour this fight down the road and resist future rollbacks just as fiercely as we do now. Denis Lemelin National President and Chief Negotiator for the Canadian Union of Postal Workers

The criteria are attitude, aptitude, appearance, attendance and academic standing. To help fundraise for the trip, the Navy League is hoping to secure 10 community partners and so far has approached Rotary, the Credit Union, Legions in Terrace and Prince Rupert, and corporations. “We are asking the City of Prince Rupert to become a partner in this honourable endeavour,” Boychuk told council. That partnership, he explained, would include a one-time only request of $3,500 through the City’s community enhancement grant program, in addition to the $2,200 the Navy League normally receives annually. While council did not make any decisions Monday evening, there were a few questions and comments from members of council. Councillor Sheila GordonPayne asked how many other communities would be sending cadets. “To the best of my knowledge, we are the only cadet corps doing this,” Boychuk said. “The Government of Canada and the Department of National

Jason Burnstick bringing unique sounds to Aboriginal Days event 2010, APCMA WINNER, 2007 Juno Nominee, CAMA Award Winning and 2009 Jessie Richardson Award Nominee (DORA Award) lap slide guitarist, Jason Burnstick is a musician and composer who performs with his arsenal of weissenborns and double neck lap slides. Known for his ability to freely move from one style to the next, Jason attributes this freedom to his musical upbringing. His tasteful musical presence compliments the mood of whatever setting he is placed whether it be a live performance, theatre, documentaries or in the opening musical themes with a hit TV series like Tamera Bull’s First Talk on APTN. Jason can also be found performing a mixture of blues and folk with his own band throughout Canada. Finally, Jason can also be found performing with good friends and peers Juno award winner Leela Gilday,
blues rock styling’s of George Leach or multiple People’s Choice Award winner R&B artist INEZ. “The whole play had the constant and unobtrusive playing of Jason Burnstick’s guitar and weissenborn lap slide playing and singing…“ Alex Waterhouse-Hayward, Photographer, writer, artist. Kevin Loring’s, Where The Blood Mixes There is an obvious flavour of blues and Latin influences in his style stemming from the guidance and support he received from his older brothers and the Latin texture is accredited to the 1994 Juno nominated Andean Group Kanatan Aski. One of Jason’s personal musical highlights was when his idol Pura Fe asked him to sit in as a musical guest at the Yale blues club in Vancouver in 2007 during her set. “I know Pura Fe is going to go down

in history as one of our greats!…Jason Burnstick” Currently, Jason has stepped back into his blues roots and armed himself with a very precious gift from his musical hero Pure Fe, a double neck lap slide. Jason feels that he has found his voice and that the weissenborn and lap slides may be his final musical resting place. In 2009, Jason’s music was featured on a compilation CD Color’s of my Life honouring the murdered and missing Aboriginal Women in Canada. His song “I Pray” has climbed the charts in the Aboriginal community and has reached #4 on the CFWE Most active list and climbed from #30 to #13 on NCI-FM charts since it‘s release. His 5 song EP “Home To Abbey” is set for release in January 2010 featuring his single “I Pray“.

for the creation of a National Aboriginal Day. Even then there was no question as to when the event should be observed, with the Brotherhood calling for the celebrations to be observed on June 21 - the summer solstice. Showing the speed with which the request was handled, the formal process wasn’t begun until 1995 when the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples recommended the observance of such a day. In December 1995, Elijah Harper hosted a Sacred Assembly in Hull, Quebec at which a national day to recognize Aboriginal peoples and their contribution Prince Rupert Office to Canada was discussed.

While Prince Rupert is celebrating its 13th observance National Aboriginal Day, it is important to note that the roots of the day can be traced back almost three decades and includes countless years of lobbying and pursuing the issue with the Federal Government. The first call for a day to recognize the culture and contributions of the many First Nations, Inuit and Metis people of Canada goes back to 1982. It was then that the National Indian Brotherhood, which is now the Assembly of First Nations, called

MP not happy with budget

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen says he was less than impressed with last Monday’s “groundhog day” budget that offered little change from the budget that was defeated to spark the last election, and he says people should be concerned about what could be coming in the weeks and months ahead. “There is going to be $4 billion in cuts and what is worrying is that the government acknowledges those cuts but won’t tell us what is being cut...I think they have a pretty good idea of where those cuts will be made, but they’re not wanting to tell Canadians what they are,” he said, noting that he was also dismayed that the budget from the last session saw minimal revisions. “I still find it very disappointing and a very poor vision for what Canada could be...There is no boldness to it, except the bold cuts coming to government programs.” One new idea from the budget was cutting per-vote subsidies to federal parties, something Cullen said takes direct aim at the Canadian system of government. “We as New Democrats are confident in our ability to fundraise,
but there is a very undemocratic tone to this. Every evolved democracy in the world, including the United States, has party subsidies,” he said. “This is targeted clearly at the Liberal Party. It is designed to wipe them off the map both politically and financially.” Most of Cullen’s comments on the budget were negative ones, but he did give some credit to the government when it came to listening to concerns of the NDP from the last federal budget. “We were worried about pensions, and the government did come halfway through on that despite the change in Parliament,” he said. And while there is no question the budget will pass, given the Conservative majority in the House of Commons, Cullen said ignoring input and feedback from other parties would be a potentially fatal mistake for the Harper government. “It would be a real mistake of this government to think that they have the backing of all Canadians and can do whatever they want. That is the recipe for a one-term majority. History has shown that and Mr. Harper is supposedly a historian so he will know that as well,” he said.

◆ FLIPPED BOAT
WANTED BY POLICE…
Search cancelled for missing man between Rupert and Haida Gwaii Contributed The Northern View After three days of an extensive search effort, 66-year-old Folkert “Fred” Wydenes remains missing. Mr. Wydenes was last seen around Monday May 30th, when the small skiff he was in with his partner overturned in the area of Tian Bay, south of Frederick Island on the West Coast of Haida Gwaii. The couple was travelling from Prince Rupert to Haida Gwaii by boat around Monday May 30th, when they decided to stop along the North west side of the island. They anchored their main vessel, the “Ocean Gem” - a 40-foot wooden fishing vessel, in Otard Bay and took a smaller aluminum skiff into Tian Bay when the boat overturned and both were thrown into the water. The 62 year old woman held on to the overturned boat and managed to put on a life jacket.
However the 66 year old male was unable to and he floated away. Members of the RCMP’s West coast Marine Services and the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team (URT) conducted a thorough search of Tian Bay for Mr. Wydenes. While the search was initially hampered by weather conditions and a gale warning that was in effect, multiple dives were conducted along with snorkel searches and an underwater grid search in the bay. Searchers also returned to the shores of Tian Bay, where the 62 year old woman managed to start a fire and wait to be rescued. While some items and debris from the boat were found, Mr. Wydenes remains missing. At this time the search has been suspended and no further attempts are being planned. This decision has been discussed with his family. While a physical search has been called off, this matter remains an active missing person’s file.

◆ MLA WEIGHTS IN
Opinion: Why I am voting to scrap the Harmonized Sales Tax By Gary Coons North Coast MLA Last year something amazing happened. For the first time in our province’s history, an Initiative Petition was successful as more than 700,000 British Columbians showed their determination to stop the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). On the North and Coast, many thousands of people signed the petition, and I was one of the many volunteer canvassers who worked on that effort. From the first days of the BC Liberals’ announcement that they were breaking their promise not to implement a HST, my office has been flooded with calls and
emails from constituents who are absolutely opposed to this tax. As you know, you will shortly be receiving a referendum ballot in the mail asking you whether or not you are in favour of extinguishing the HST. I believe the majority of British Columbians will vote ‘Yes.’ There has been a great deal of talk about ‘fixing’ the HST. Premier Christy Clark and her government have made the decision to stake their political futures on whether or not the people of British Columbia will be fooled by her promises of rebates and rate reductions. They, along with many big companies and corporations, are spending millions of dollars to convince you that the HST will be good
This is a government for you….don’t be that clearly cannot be fooled. trusted. These promised And it is also a ‘fixes’ do not government that is not deal with the fact capable of managing that the HST was the books.

They broke that Arguments that we promise. can’t cancel the HST MLA Gary Coons Now they because we can’t are promising a afford to give back rebate and rate reduction, but in the $1.6 billion to the federal order to partially fund these new government become moot if the promises, they’ve had to break cost of ‘fixes’ are so much greater. previous promises of tax cuts. The HST, both the current
version and proposed version, still constitutes a massive shift of taxation away from large corporations and on to the backs of average residents. And it no longer allows British Columbians to make tax policy for themselves. As we prepare to vote in the HST referendum, we need to remember how we came to be in this place. It is only because of the strong voice of regular British Columbians showing their opposition to the HST that we are getting this opportunity to make this decision. I will be honouring the fight and determination of so many British Columbians, and I will be voting ‘Yes’ to scrap the HST.
◆ TALKING TAX
New poll shows that HST is gaining support around BC By Tom Fletcher Black Press The harmonized sales tax and the referendum on its fate are still widely misunderstood, but support for returning to the old provincial sales tax is declining. That’s the main finding of a poll released Thursday by Angus Reid Public Opinion. An online survey of 805 B.C. residents found 44 per cent intend to vote “no” in the mail-in referendum that gets underway this month. A year ago, just before the HST took effect, the pollster found 82 per cent wanted to scrap it. The latest survey shows a substantial increase in support for the HST since the B.C. government offered to cut the rate by two points to 10 per cent over the next three years.
The poll also reflects confusion about the referendum question, which will ask voters if they want to “extinguish” the HST and return to the federal GST and the former PST at a combined rate of 12 per cent. One out of three respondents incorrectly believed that a “no” vote would get rid of the HST. Opposition to the HST was stronger among women, younger people and rural residents. Women were 64 per cent opposed and people aged 18 to 34 were 62 per cent opposed. Residents of Metro Vancouver were evenly divided, while opponents were a clear majority in the Interior, the North and Vancouver Island. One in four respondents said they have put off purchases such as a new car or television, goods that are taxed the same under GST-PST and HST.
The political battle over the HST continues as voters begin receiving their ballot packages in the mail. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon now estimates that killing the HST will cost B.C. $3 billion, including $1.2 billion in lost revenue and the cost to borrow and repay Ottawa’s $1.6 billion transition fund. NDP leader Adrian Dix has begun a tour to urge people to restore the PST and GST at 12 per cent, arguing that the B.C. Liberal government can’t be trusted to lower the HST rate. The poll asked people about the credibility of various sources. A majority said they trust small business owners and academics, while 40 per cent trust Premier Christy Clark and 35 per cent are inclined to believe Dix. The highest ranked personality was Bill Vander Zalm.
