Re: Political bluster fogs HST debate, Letters, May 27, 2011.

To quote the letter writer William Perry: B次元官网网址淭he B.C. government is compelled to ensure residents have all the informationB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址渢he reality is the HST hasnB次元官网网址檛 really hit any of us.B次元官网网址�

My husband and I (89 and 79 years old) have serious back problems and depend on treatments from a registered massage therapist, who, although recognized by the B.C. government under MSP, is not exempt from the HST, although chiropractors and physiotherapists are.

The reason given for this discrimination regarding fees is because massage therapists are only registered in three provinces, not five.

HST has hit us and I am sure we are not unique. I urge everyone to be sure of all the facts before voting and to really question whatever spin the B.C. Liberals put on B次元官网网址渁ll the information.B次元官网网址�
