Everyone in Ontario should voice

their opinions to their local MPP's

"NO HST ON UTILITIES"

Please reveiw Hydro One Mapping 

Everyone in Ontario directly or indirectly pays for electricity.  Electricity prices are constantly increasing.   The HST increased the tax on this consumption by an additional 8% having started on  JULY 2010.   The total electrical consumption in Ontario is in excess of $5 BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY AND GROWING.

IT’S SIMPLY A HUGE TAX GRAB PLAIN AND SIMPLE

THE SOLUTION    The Province would be wise to completely re-consider this absolutely unwarranted tax grab. If all utilities were exempt everyone in Ontario would benefit. Another alternative would be to cut the HST rate on everything to 10%
