B.C. HST Referendum Fall-Out is Like Changing A Home Renovation Project

Posted on September 7, 2011 by Cyndee Todgham Cherniak

I have been asked whether the change back to the old provincial sales tax (called social services tax) in British Columbia will be costly.  My answer has been: What B.C. is going through is like a significant home renovation project.  The owners of the house (the B.C. government) undertook a major renovation and after it was done, were told by the building inspectors (the people) to put it back the way it was originally.  This change costs money and will affect the owners of the house and the goods and services providers (the businesses).

Who is to blame?  The home owners (B.C. government) because they did not seek permission to undertake the renovation.  Instead they begged for foregiveness after the fact and foregiveness was not forthcoming.
