B.C.'s pro-HST campaign may be illegal
|
Mon Apr 19, 2010 CBC News The B.C. government's plan to mail out information pamphlets about the HST violates laws restricting campaigning during the anti-HST petition drive, according to former premier Bill Vander Zalm. On Thursday, Finance Minister Colin Hansen said he was so concerned about what he called misinformation in Vander Zalm's anti-HST campaign that the government was planning to mail out flyers to residents to counter Vander Zalm's claims. But according to STOP HST campaign organizer Chris Delaney, if the government wanted to spend money fighting the anti-HST initiative, it should have registered as an opponent with Elections BC last month — something it didn't do. |
