ATTENTION FIRST NATION CITIZENS - SAY NO TO THE HST!!
A rally is scheduled on MARCH 10, 2010 in Ottawa to oppose the HST. Gathering place will be the front lawn of Parliament Hill, by the fire pit, front entrance at 1:00 pm.
First Nations Communities are asked to bring their flags and placards. All are encouraged to bring their drums or encouraged to wear their traditional regalia (for those bringing a drum, please contact Nathan Wright at the Chiefs of Ontario office).
This is a peaceful demonstration staged to send a united voice to the Government of Canada that WE DO NOT SUPPORT further imposition of tax on our people.
First Nation citizens will no longer be tax exempt with the implementation of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)!!!
The harmonized sales tax will be a combination of the 8% PST with the 5% GST. This will result in a new 13% tax on many products and services that were not previously taxed.
This new measure will come into effect on July 1st, 2010.
For more info please contact Chiefs of Ontario office at (416) 597-1266 or Nathan Wright by email at Nathan@coo.org.
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!!
COME OUT AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!!
