   Harper isn't "fleeing" from anything, he's just saying it's time to   
   give up the PR and move on.  You don't need to sell something that has   
   already been bought.  The opposition in BC is a load of wind; proof of   
   that lies in the involvement of Van der Zalm and the NDP.  Heck,   
   that's proof^2.  Your contention that the HST is the "only policy   
   based on principle for a more prosperous country" is also a load of   
   wind.   
      
   Look into the reasons for the HST, how it works, how it is   
   implemented, who else is using it, what the effect has been in those   
   jurisdictions.  Do that and find out just how full of shit are Van der   
   Zalm and the NDP.  And you.
