Stop the HST in Ontario
« on: May 12, 2010, 08:28:46 AM »

If we can get 10% of Ontario's population to sign the petition, we'll be able to call for a referendum on the issue and try to stop it. We the people have the power, so let's use it!

13,150,000 people in Ontario (according to a 2009 review)

That means only 1,315,000 need to sign.


Problem is, I signed it - but never got the confirmation email.

Hey guys,

Ontario doesn't have any sort of referendum legislation with 10% of the population signing a petition.  That's strictly a BC thing.   

Apparently the HST dodges the referendum sections of the Tax Payer Protection act in Ontario.

We seem to be stuck with it.
