   "The Premier" won't give a damn how many signatures are gathered - he's   
   determined to   
   bring in the HST because he's ALREADY SPENT over $65 Million of Harper's   
   federal bribe   
   money that the HST be forced onto British Columbians.  He's not about to start   
   repaying   
   that money - he needs it to cover off massive Olympic debt and budget deficits.   
      
   What HAS to happen is that the signatures go WELL BEYOND the needed 10% / per   
   riding   
   needed.  Then you'll see every 'LIberal'/Conservative in Campbell's government   
   start to   
   consider their future beyond politics - when they're turfed by a very angry   
   electorate.   
   The reversal of the HST could well find support from the 'Liberal' Party ranks   
   themselves.
