NDP Anti-HST Campaign in Kenora Riding

Area NDP are focusing attention on the federal Conservative held riding of Kenora in a push to kill the provincial harmonized sales tax.

And Thunder Bay-Superior North M-P Bruce Hyer says the riding's M-P Greg Rickford is not being honest with constituents when he says it's not a Federal issue.

"The federal government has bribed the Ontario into this with $4.3 billion dollars of our federal tax dollars," says Hyer, "which they're going to have to borrow on the money markets and increase our federal deficit."

NDP have been holding public meetings in the riding to rally support against the HST.
