The war of words over the HST continues in the Kenora riding.
Federal NDP accuse the Conservative M-P Greg Rickford of misleading constituents by saying it's not a federal issue, but Rickford says its the NDP who are not telling the whole truth.
"They have certainly gone a long way to confuse the issue," says Rickford. "This is squarely a provincial issue. The federal government's involvement in this is to respect the province's autonomy in taxation."
Rickford says Thunder Bay-Superior North MP Bruce Hyer, who was in Dryden and Sioux Lookout, should be spending more time in his riding speaking to his constituents about real issues of concern.
Hyer and Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty have been calling on the federal government to cancel a $4.3 billion dollar payment to help Ontario with merging of the provincial sales tax with the federal good and services tax this July.
