they might not pass the savings down to the consumer. But it's better than used to hire accountants and government officials to deal with the extra paper work needed for handling PST.

View it as so that they'll have 1 less excuse to further bump up prices, and 1 less excuse to hire extra government staff to handle PST. If people consider that PST vs HST is a wash, I think this efficiency aspect alone, even if it does not translate into cost saving for the average consumer, is already worth it. Afterall, if HST is as crappy as PST vice versa, at least you have this little efficiency boost.~

We make progress forward. If there's something not good about HST, you fix it. Spending yet another extra bucket of money to move backwards back into an inferior system is just absurd IMO
