With BC's Liberal government announcing plans to combine the provincial sales tax and federal GST into a single Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) of 12 per cent, many disgruntled British Columbians are threatening to shift their support to the BC NDP. The government added further fuel to an already heated atmosphere with its Aug 20th announcement to extend deficit spending for an additional two years.

Join commentators Erin Chutter and Moe Sihota to discuss how the parties are positioning themselves around these contentious issues. This duo wakes you up every Monday morning on CBC Radio, and will be joined by Harvey Enchin - heavyweight journalist from the Vancouver Sun. This is your chance to interact with them all live - just days after BC Finance Minister Colin Hansen delivers the provincial budget update!
