Harper's Treason
We all like to complain about Gordon Campbell's arrogance and dishonesty and rightly so. I've mentioned before that the HST is a federal initiative and that Gordon Campbell offered up BC as a sacrificial pawn to break ground for the HST federally.
We also see that although Harper promised senate reform and was going to push for an elected Senate, he has now appointed 33 Conservatives to the 105-seat upper House in the last 18 months. Just what is he preparing for?
Let's not forget Stephen Harper's idol, Brian Mulroney and his senate reform. Mulroney added eight more seats to the total overnight so he could ram the GST through. Now Harper is doing far worse. He is quietly re stacking the senate to ram the HST through.
Remember all that drama about lowering the GST 2%? His idol was the one who rammed it through in the first place. What a scam. Yet that scam isn't nearly as big as the real plan. Get elected by promising to lower the GST, re stack the Senate, then Raise the GST by taxing things that are presently except and call it the HST. A grand scam indeed.
But that's not all. Make a dirty deal with the second most hated politician in Canadian history, Gordon Campbell. (Mulroney was the worst) He'll do it. He doesn't give a rat's ass about the people. He's has his two pay raises and his gold plated pension. He's going to retire so he doesn't care what the people think. That's why he has committed political suicide by wiping his party off the face of the earth just like Mulroney did.
Oh but wait. It gets worse. What if Harper was to offer Gordon Campbell a senate seat in exchange for cramming the HST though in BC? Wouldn't that be ironic? 30 pieces of silver and the people are again sold out.
Doesn't all the used car salesman drama about lowering the GST then raising it again sound so much like Gordon Campbell's promise not to implement the HST and his campaign against the gold plated pension before he implemented it? Too bad calling some one a liar in the house of Commons will get you kicked out. Outside of parliament those lies are considered criminal fraud.
The good news is that the grass roots initiative has succeeded in getting enough signatures on the anti HST petition to bring the tax to a referendum. The Vancouver Sun called it Direct Democracy.
