Vander Zalm tours North to protest HST in BC
Former premier Bill Vander Zalm launches Fight HST efforts to repeal the tax with a Northern BC tour from March 12 to 17. He plans town halls in Dawson Creek and Chetwynd while urging volunteers to sign the Citizen Initiative petition requiring 10 percent of BC voters in all 85 electoral districts. He stresses the petition would force a vote or referendum if successful, and notes broad business and civic group support across the province.
