Tim Hudak Joins Kitchener-Waterloo Families to Rally Against the HST

News:

Today Tim Hudak and members of the Ontario PC Caucus today joined over 200 Ontario PC Party members to protest Dalton McGuinty’s latest tax hike – the $3 billion HST tax grab.

Dalton McGuinty’s HST will officially force Ontario families and seniors to pay more for gas, electricity, home heating fuel and dozens of other everyday goods and services that you rely on most. Last month in a cleansing moment of honesty, McGuinty himself was finally forced to admit that the tax burden on families will go up.

Earlier this week the Ontario PC Caucus revealed that prisoners in Ontario jails will receive HST bribe cheques from Dalton McGuinty of up to $1,000 each.

Quotes:

“Only a Premier as out of touch as Dalton McGuinty would designate July 1st — Canada Day — as the day the HST kicks in – and every Ontario family starts paying more.”

– Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak

“Ontario family budgets are already stretched to the breaking point. That is why an Ontario PC Government will replace Dalton McGuinty’s tax-and-spend government, with one that respects how much you already pay.”

– Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak
