- Gordon, if you believe Harper on the HST then all I can say is that you've been Con'd.

Apparently Gordon Campbell told CTV "If you have an agreement with the federal government, even if it's a minority federal government, you should be able to take that to the bank,".

What a bunch of bunk - in the political arena this is 'kid's stuff'. Everyone knows that the HST, especially when it entails a gratuitous payment to the Provinces must be approved by Parliament. If Campbell doesn't know this then what in the world is he doing leading the government of BC. He should be too embarrassed to utter such a comment.

If it is true and Campbell really thinks that there was a binding agreement between the Province and the Federal Government he should resign and get someone in there that has some kind of inkling as to how governments in Canada work.

On the other hand if Harper and the Cons promised him 1.6 Billion dollars, then let Harper give it him out of his own pocket, or that of the Con Party, and not the tax payers of Canada.

Gordon, if you believe this then all I can say is that you've been Con'd.
