   How much did Harper bribe McGuinty with - if McGuinty would introduce the HST   
   into   
   Ontario?   
      
   Same old right wing ploy at work once again:   
   1.  Bankrupt the country through Conservative spending & corporate tax cuts   
   2.  Transfer burden of taxation to Provinces to deflect from true source of   
   financial   
   problem - Ottawa   
   3.  Sit back and tell the  (less bright)  voters that 'the Federal government   
   CUT taxes',   
   rather than raised them.

   Harper’s HST deal with Liberals, which will merge the provincial sales tax   
   with the GST,   
   will not only add the new tax to many items that are not now covered by the   
   provincial   
   sales tax, but will shift the tax burden onto British Columbian families.   
      
   The federal government is planning to spend $1.6 billion to get British   
   Columbia to agree   
   to the newly expanded HST, which will come into effect July 1, 2010.

   Ontarians will see their sales taxes combined for a total of 13 per cent. Five   
   per cent of   
   that is the federal Goods & Services Tax (GST), and 8 per cent is the   
   Provincial Sales Tax   
   (PST). People in B.C. will see their sales taxes raised to 12 per cent, a   
   combined 7 per   
   cent PST, and 5 per cent GST.   
      
   Federal money has already been promised to both jurisdictions to help with the   
   changeover.   
   Ontario will get $4.3 billion, while British Columbia will get $1.6 billion.   
   The HST will   
   come into effect on July 1, 2010.
