A new year, and a new challenge: HST
Posted by Steven Hurdle on January 1, 2010
Thanks to the many people who voted in our poll on the HST.
The overwhelming number of votes were opposed to the HST, in keeping with province-wide polling on the issue. The vast majority expressed that they wanted Inside Langford to be a hub for local opposition to the HST. With today being the first day of the new year, and with 2010 going to be defined in large part by the fight against the HST, today is the launch of a new HST section on Inside Langford. No matter where you are on the site, the HST section is available on the main navigation bar near the top of the page.
Inside Langford will remain a source of general local news. Anyone may post things they feel are newsworthy under Reader News, may inform people about local events via the Langford Community Calendar, and non-HST related articles will continue to be authored for the site. However, in many ways 2010 will be the year of the HST fight on many fronts and this site will do its part to be a local resource for that fight. On a personal level, I intend to direct a significant amount of my energies into that, and I hope many of you will join me in doing so.
To get involved in the local effort (whether in a big way or a small way), please email me or call me at 250 885 0717.
