CKNW saying we are getting results of the referendum sometime before noon today….
…. So which way is this going to go? I think tight vote, w HST here to stay. But I wouldn't bet a lot of money on it.

ugh. I guess BC voters couldnt see the bigger picture.
who is more motivated… those angry and wanting to "get rid" of a tax, or those that see that doubling their consumption tax is likely a good thing for them

not saying that is actually what the vote is, but that is how the public saw it
40% of the people were going to vote against it because the liberals brought it in.
40% undecided and pissed off about the new tax but open to changing their view
20% took politics out and out of those likely 90+ % voted to keep the tax

and its gonna cost heaps of money to get back to the old system
haha jokes on you
