Make it real. Make it happen. Fight for yourself, and your province, at a Fight the HST rally near you.

Posted on by Laila

Generally, I’m more inclined to use the power of my words to protest and fight the many injustices forced upon us by the current out of control Liberal government, rather than run around carrying signs and protesting.

 The prospect of the HST , however, has spurred me to greater action.

That’s why I’ll be heading down to Canada Place tomorrow, rain or shine, to help out organizers and throw my support behind the people who have put political differences aside to  create a Citizens Initiative to fight for the people of BC, and fight against the HST. I’ll have my camera in hand and will bring you a full report from my perspective, after the rally.

Despite what the governments very well oiled PR machine has been spinning out, the fact remains that this HST is not going to help people like you and I.

 It’s not going to make it easier to become a homeowner for the first time, nor is it going to make it easier to provide a good life for you and your kids.

 What it will do, is hit you where it hurts most- the wallet. And with rising costs reflected in the prices products and services we all consume, It’s time to find your voice , stand up and say ” NO MORE!”  Come and join us tomorrow at :
