HST recall campaigns to begin in B.C. in January

Cbc News: Monday, September 20, 2010

Opponents of B.C.'s HST say they will launch recall campaigns against three B.C. Liberal MLAs on Jan. 1, and a new campaign against a different MLA every month until the government repeals the tax or loses its majority. Former premier Bill Vander Zalm and fellow Fight HST organizer Chris Delaney announced Monday morning in Vancouver that recruitment campaigns for volunteers are being launched in the ridings of 18 Liberal MLAs who are considered vulnerable. Then in January the three ridings that have signed up the most volunteers will be the chosen to launch the first three recall campaigns, with a new campaign launched against a new MLA every month after that.
