More HST Concerns

Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak says his party's fight against the HST isn't going to end.

Speaking to members of the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce yesterday, Hudak says the north will be particularly hard hit.

"After all a family in Fort Frances will heat their home for six to eight weeks longer than in Toronto," says Hudak, "and next winter you'll be paying more to stay warm. Also for commuting, whether to drop the kids off for hockey or go to the grocery store, eight per cent more will be slapped down on the price of gasoline."

Hudak adds native residents won't be receiving exemptions at the till and will be forced to submit receipts for a refund on taxes paid.
