NO ONTARIO HST

Sign the Petition Against Harmonized Sales Tax in Ontario

STOP The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) in British Columbia and Ontario

The Ontario Government is going to harmonize the federal and provincial sales tax into a single 13% HST (5% GST + 8% PST). You currently don't pay PST on many items from gasoline to real estate. This will cost us all.
