Opposition? Ignatieff plans support for Harper’s HST hike

Michael Ignatieff said he and his party were through propping up Stephen Harper’s government.

"Mr. Harper, your time is up …We will hold Stephen Harper to account and we will oppose his government.”

But it turns out that’s not the whole story. Ignatieff plans to oppose everything Stephen Harper does except for his unpopular sales tax hike on Ontario and BC families!

That’s what Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty told reporters about the HST implementation:

McGuinty on Ignatieff's support for the HST:

“I think that there is some federal legislation that is required. We have approached Mr. Ignatieff in this regard and secured his support for this.”

What kind of opposition is Michael Ignatieff offering? The kind that pretends to oppose, but is secretly planning to force Stephen Harper’s unfair sales tax shift onto Canadians during a recession.
