         Question #1   
         Premier Campbell has announced his resignation as Premier, yet he also

         Question #4   
         The BC Liberal government under Gordon Campbell has represented to the   
   public that   
   they introduced the HST to British Columbians without warning because they   
   only had a   
   little time after the May 9, 2009 general provincial election to accept the   
   HST offer from   
   the federal government. Documents reveal that the Campbell government actually   
   had until   
   March 31, 2010 or almost one year prior to Implementation date under the   
   agreement. Based   
   on this information which of the following response choices BEST reflects your   
   opinion of   
   the Gordon Campbell BC Liberal government based on this new information?   
         I am more angry    37 %

         I could not be more angry    48.5 %   
         I am not angry    8.5 %   
         Undecided    8 %   
      
      
         Question #5   
         British Columbia has fixed election dates, but this does not mean a   
   general   
   provincial election could not be held sooner. If an election could be held   
   with an   
   underlying referendum question on the HST--- 5 months from now or in April   
   2011 - would   
   you support it being called?   
         Yes    63.5 %   
         No    21 %   
         Undecided    16 %
