Horwath's unfair tax tour in Thunder Bay

The leader of Ontario's NDP paid a visit to Thunder Bay today. Andrea Horwath spoke to residents about the impact the harmonized sales tax will have on their families. She says the HST will cost families an extra 800 dollars and the hst rebate cheques will not offset the extra cost.  Horwath also spoke to health care workers and took time to take a shot at the local health integration networks. She feels the lhin's are another layer of beaurocracy that's not helping area communities.  The NDP leader is currently on her "unfair tax" tour.  Horwath says the hst rebate cheques will not offset the extra costs associated with the new merged tax.
