PST returns

Unlike Batman  Returns this one is not one to look forward to. I went to a seminar on the return of the dreaded PST (thanks Bill Vander Zalm) where I’m fairly surprised that the representative from the BC taxes escaped without being lynched.  Nothing like a good lynching to liven up a lunch.

The basics are:
PST returns but with more taxes than before.
Businesses have to go through lots of extra paperwork to do this.
The cost of doing business increases the cost of everything increases.
BC have to pay back HST grants to the Fed’s.
BC have to re-hire their PST people.
Income taxes go up to pay for all of this.

To sum it up in 2 words, we’re screwed.

Thanks Vander Zalm. Feck off back to Fantasy Land – asshole.
