my point is that despite not having a PST, crap is just marked up higher by the retailers thus feeling like we do have one. I'd rather pay our provincial government through PST than pad the bottom line of some of these corporations.
You did manage to contradict the typical babel that I hear from many about how BC costs more because of taxes. First night I was in Alberta, some moron asked me what its like to live in a "socialist state"
Apparently he believes that PST is a socialist ploy..
