Unfair Tax Tour Hits Thunder Bay


The NDP is continuing its opposition to the harmonized sales tax.

Making a visit to Thunder Bay yesterday, leader Andrea Horwath says rebate cheques mailed out this week are not going to offset the costs associated with the new tax.

"Once that third cheque is cashed that's the end of it," says Horwarth, "but you'll be paying the HST forever. Forever on your hydro, forever on your heating, forever on your gas."

Horwath is encouraging taxpayers to sign the party's unfair tax petition.
