I’m getting a bit tired of hearing people complain about the HST. What people should really be complaining about is the fact that B.C. even has a PST when we have so many high-value renewable energy resources we could be tapping into instead.
Look at Alberta. They don’t have any PST because they’ve capitalized on their energy resources and even socked away billions of dollars for rainy days like the current global recession.
Alberta doesn’t have a PST, and energy-rich B.C. shouldn’t have one either. We should be tapping into our unrivalled world class renewable energy resources and using the revenue to eliminate the need for any kind of sales tax here in B.C.
