The increase in the HST certainly seems to goes against one part of their political election platform (removal of the HST on home heating oil - as I remember). However, the fact that the NDP is spending a significant amount on road construction might help cancel the effect of the additional HST (just as the Olympic Games will add to Vancouver's GDP).
I just hope that once the books are balanced that the HST will be reduced again. (Maybe next election it will be the platform of one of the opposing parties). As is often the case, politics is enough to make me shake my head.
