   True. The NDP did until they were stopped.

   He's Premier, there's nothing higher than that in B.C. that he can go for.   
   and if you're wondering, no he would not go for being an MP, since all of   
   the federal ridings have already nominated with the Conservatives.

   Doesn't matter. It will up to them to get rid of it, even more so than the   
   Liberals since the NDP   
   has been opposed to it, and all of their MLAs are registered canvassers with   
   VanderZalm's   
   anti-HST organization.

   Not really the same thing as your empty helmet school yard bully.

   The message has already been sent. There's no sense in throwing more gas on   
   the fire when the   
   barn is already collapsing from the fire.
