It's the recorded voice of a B.C. MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly), Cabinet Minister Pat Bell, inviting me to stay on the line to participate in an Electronic Town Hall Meeting to discuss "improving" the HST (Harmonized Sales Tax).
Unfortunately, he called just before the puck-drop of Game 7 between San Jose and Detroit NHL teams, to decide which team will meet the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup Semi-Finals.
Fat chance that I'm going to bypass the game to listen to chatter about the HST.
The HST is costing the average B.C. Resident $350 per year more than the PST/GST that it replaced, because previously-exempt items are being taxed.
