"One should doubtless keep an open mind...though open at both ends, like the food pipe, and have a capacity for excretion as well as intake." -- Northrop Frye, 'The Great Code'
Exactly, Alain! And if it's so blindingly obvious that the HST is such a vastly superior tax then even dolts like Gordon Campbell and Colin Hansen could have easily explained it to the electorate and there'd have been no referendum much less a defeat. If Cyto is looking for "idiots" to blame for the demise of the HST then he need look no farther than Gordon Campbell et al.
What will make me despise those idiots even more than I do now will be to see the NDP returned to power. But freedom is hard won, fragile and expensive to maintain. If a crappier tax and a crappy NDP government is the price we pay in this instance it will still have been worth it.

Absolutely. I hear rumors of a split in the BC Liberal Party (thanks Christy!) that could see a couple of MPs jump ship...possibly to the BC Conservative Party.
(actually I heard 12 MPs, but I'm not optimistic enough to buy that)
And yeah, even if the NDP do get in for one term it will still have been worth it...
However, in all of the discussion on this topic, one subject is usually overlooked.
X-rays and an MRI are recommended to be sure there's nothing more significant going on, like a herniated vertebral disc, or a fractured vertebra. Insurance companies also demand certification and in that case the individual is considered disqualified from engaging in clinical practice if not certified.

It's a victory of idiots over good policy. Now we get to tax business inputs again! Yeah!
