Gross-Misconduct Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Liberal supporters (or the Chrtisy kool-aid drinkers as I call them) blame the extreme left NDP supporters for all the negative criticism of the Liberal government. But a very out spoken critic of Christy's inept gang in Victoria has been The Canadian Taxpayers Federation's BC Director Jordan Bateman. Only the Liberal kool-aid drinkers would argue his latest criticism. Taxpayers federation questions governments priorities VANCOUVER/CKNW (AM980) Liza Yuzda | Email news tips to liza@cknw.com 3/29/2013 The return of the PST is just days away but you're still more likely to see a commercial about the Liberal's job's plan than how the new tax will affect you. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation's BC Director Jordan Bateman says the government spent a paltry few hundred thousand dollars on communicating to consumers how returning to the PST will affect them, but millions promoting their budget and jobs plan. "Frankly spending 21 million dollars on jobs and budget ads was a goofy idea meant to do nothing except help the BC Liberals get re-elected, that's money that would be spent on other things, PST education included." Bateman says PST is going to have an significant impact. "I think for most people obviously the PST is going to have a whole lot more impact on their lives and certainly on their voting decisions than on the jobs plan or the budget." However he says the province though has done a good job letting businesses know what they need to do before PST kicks in. http://www.cknw.com/...aspx?ID=1924336 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 People voted for the PST to come back; I'm sure said voters know the ramifications of doing so, am i right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 So if you want to place blame on who is truly responsible for B.C. going back to the PST, it's Gordon Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Voters are responsible for their actions at the polling booth (or in this case, as they mailed in their ballots). Voters, therefore, should have known when PST was coming back and what gets rolled back from 12% when they cast their ballots. It's unfortunate that voters in this case were self-uninformed when they were expected to know the ins and outs of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronthecivil Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Of course they aren't going to put out ads talking about the switch to the PST. As consumers there's little they need (and clearly don't) to know. For business they have a website explaining changes. I don't see how a "you all just screwed up the province due to your stupidity" message, or anything that would even hint at that, is going to do them any good.
