Whether you are pro or con on the NDP, I recommend this petition to you as a means of preventing the HST from being implemented.  There is no way in which this tax can be considered revenue neutral and studies done to date indicate that it will cost about $500 for every man, woman and child.  That is a lot of money for many and it falls hardest on those least capable of paying.  Given the state of incomes in Nanaimo, this will be a tax increase between 2.5 and 5% for many households.  This is unreasonable, especially following an election in which the matter was not discussed.  Go to:

and let the Liberals feel your wrath on this one.
