Mr. Ashworth (The News, July 19) seems very well informed as to the benefits of having the HST in place of GST and PST. Depending on your source of information, I suppose one could debate endlessly the pros and cons.
My question is, if it’s such a good thing, how come the other provinces that have HST are still “have not” provinces, with higher unemployment and lower economic growth?
