Hudak on HST

The truth is the HST makes good sense. To have two different systems of sales tax based on different criteria really makes no sense. While the HST will broaden the scope of what is subject to tax the overall burden should be unaffected and costs reduced.

All that said, the PC's were on to a good thing complaining about the HST -- the trouble is they obviously realize they might win an election (I hope they don't but clearly they could) and then they'd be stuck with a commitment to repeal a tax they would not fulfil.

But if they weren't going to go the distance why did they start?
