This morning he said (again) the feds offered him the same HST deal Ont. had just negotiated
after the election.
He knows the HST makes sense, no need to negotiate a deal with the feds and he had 4 years to sell the tax. He didn't sell it, he needed to educate the masses about the benefits of blending the taxes.
Instead he got caught up in the Olympics, underestimated Vanderzalm's campaign against the HST, and still didn't really sell the tax.
I think he could have pulled it off if he put more effort into it.
He gambled and lost.
