B.C. HST foes harbour extremists: MLA
The political fight over B.C.'s harmonized sales tax is taking a nastier turn, with the provincial Liberals accusing HST opponents of harbouring people with extreme views. In the latest volley, the B.C. Liberals point to Gary Edwards, who is organizing a campaign to recall a Liberal MLA in the riding of Cariboo-Chilcotin. In one recent internet posting on his blog, Edwards refers to what he calls "the bastards in Victoria" and "the Liberal Liars Club." He describes B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell as "a little turd" and used more vulgar language to describe the province's chief electoral officer. "I think it's atrocious, the profanity-laced blog entry," Liberal MLA Terry Lake said Tuesday. Lake said Fight HST leader and former Social Credit premier Bill Vander Zalm needs to answer some tough questions about organizers like Edwards.(more)
