VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The Harmonized Sales Tax is going to a referendum and now the experts are weighing in on how the question should be asked. If the question is complicated, you can bet the Liberals will take flak for it.
Much like they did in their 2002 referendum on First Nations treaty rights or like the Parti Quebecois did during its 1995 sovereignty vote.
SFU Public Policy analyst Doug McArthur also recommends a mail-in initiative over an in-person ballot. "Generally, it makes it easier for people to vote. It encourages participation and you always worry about low levels of turn-out. It's cheaper and it's becoming a much more common way of doing votes."
He adds the question would be more efficient and would get the best response if it was just a simple yes or no.
Vander Zalm is not the solution, he is the advenger.
I would trust Carol James over him, but I don't think she can control
the NDP hardliners once they were in power
