Restaurants Launch Anti-HST Campaign

[whatnext]

The B.C. Restaurant and Food Services Association has launched a new campaign to educate customers about the effects of a new 7 per cent meal tax which would be imposed due to the Harmonized Sales Tax. So they'll be serving up your food...with a side of information.

President Ian Tostenson says the Nomealtax.ca campaign encourages people to speak out against higher dining prices and potential job losses if the HST is added to restaurant meals. Tostenson says the www.nomealtax.ca will link you to an online petition addressed to the province and the federal government.

He says restaurant workers will also be spreading the word to patrons.
