The HST Benefits Everyone
Well, it’s been nearly two weeks since the HST kicked in, and I thought I’d summarize some of the benefits:
camping fees went up from $24 to $30 at Cultus Lake
Gas went up about 5 cents per litre in Chilliwack
Carbon tax on fuel went up 1.12 cents/litre
the local Pharmacy started charging for all bags on July 1st
a can of soda went from $1.05 to $1.15 at my favourite coffee shop
BC Hydro’s Rate Rider was silently raised from one to four percent
Clearly this tax is on its way to causing prices to drop on consumer goods in BC. ...
