Citizen’s Initiative petition to eliminate the Harmonized Sales Tax is under legal attack
Jul 11, 2010 Letters
Our Fight HST Citizen’s Initiative petition to eliminate the Harmonized Sales Tax is under legal attack by a so called “coalition” of business groups.
We all know it is really the Gordon Campbell-BC Liberals using their corporate friends to try to have our petition thrown out by the court despite 705,643 BC voters signing it.
We are not going to let them!
We have hired noted BC lawyer Joseph Arvay, Q. C. to defend our citizen Initiative petition, and to challenge the legality of the HST in BC.

PRESS RELEASE: Vander Zalm launches legal challenge to HST in BC

Vander Zalm launches legal challenge to HST in BC
VANCOUVER – In what might be described as the second of a one-two punch, former BC premier Bill Vander Zalm today filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the HST in B.C.
The Petition filed in the B.C. Supreme Court seeks an order quashing the OIC that authorized the government to enter the Agreement with the government of Canada that purports to impose the HST in B.C. and a declaration that such Agreement is a nullity and of no force and effect.
The essence of the Petition is that the provincial Cabinet has unlawfully imposed a tax on the citizens of B.C. without legislative authority.
If the lawsuit is successful the HST will not apply in British Columbia.

Who do you think should be the first MLA to be recalled? If you have other MLA’s in mind, please leave a comment below with your suggestion and reasons.

Apr 8, 2010 Video Interview
FightHST.com decided that it would be appropriate to launch the Citizen’s Initiative campaign in the riding of the man responsible for this mess. In doing so, we collected 10% of the required signatures during the event in a riding that knows their MLA, Gordon Campbell all too well.

As we get closer to our 3 month long Signature Collection Campaign, I thought I would share this Great magazine cover by Common Ground Magazine (with permission of course). I love the caption: OVERTAXAR from the director of “TITANIC DEBT”
