   They're playing word games with the question on the HST.  Up until now, the   
   anti-HST campaign   
   was asking British Columbians to say 'NO' to the new tax.  The BC 'Liberals'   
   (name change   
   pending) have decided to use that wording trend to trick some voters into   
   voting FOR the HST.   
      
   They've worded the question in such a way that if you voted 'NO' this time   
   around, you'd   
   actually be voting for keeping the Hated Sales Tax, not killing it.   
      
      
   The question is being worded this way:   
      
   " Are you in favour of extinguishing the HST and reinstating the PST   
   (Provincial Sales Tax) in   
   conjunction with the GST (Goods and Services Tax} ? "   
      
   An answer of  "Yes"  means a voter wants the HST repealed.   
   An answer of  "No"   means a voter wants it to remain in place.   
      
   Advise all your anti-HST friends, neighbours and family members of this   
   wording.  The BC   
   'Liberals' will be hoping that the NO Campaign will result in a whole lot of   
   people being   
   confused and continuing to say 'NO' on the actual referendum.   
      
   Especially, let those who do not read or speak English well, of what they need   
   to mark if they   
   want to have the HST gone.   
      
   Why aren't we surprised that the BC 'Liberals' would try this stunt with the   
   voters?
