   No, they won't remove the HST - because it's making big bucks for the BC   
   'Liberal'/Conservatives.  But they have OUR money for this kind of shit.    
   Remember all these   
   expenditures by our deceptive, incompetent, arrogant government when we go to   
   the polls.

   B.C. Liberals under fire for pricey Super Bowl ads   
      
   VANCOUVER — Provincial NDP Leader Adrian Dix is calling out the B.C. Liberal   
   government over   
   its spending of taxpayer cash on Super Bowl ads.   
      
   Two commercials about a provincial jobs plan aired during Sunday’s football   
   broadcast cost   
   $17,000, according to B.C. Jobs Minister Pat Bell.   
      
   The 30-second spots were purchased as part of a nearly $1-million ad buy to   
   promote the jobs   
   plan provincewide.   
   If purchased alone, Super Bowl ads were reported to be going for $130,000 for   
   each 30-second   
   spot in Canada.
