The HST Song
The HST Song evolved one day when I was amusing myself with my guitar, playing and singing some old rock and roll songs. (I pretty much only entertain myself when I do this, and if you listen to the song, you'll know why!)Anyway, in Canada these days, many Provincial governments (like State governments) are opting for a Harmonized Sales Tax. (Instead of paying a provincial AND a federal sales tax on things that we buy, we would only pay one combined tax. For us in British Columbia it will mean we will pay more tax on many items that were previously exempt from provincial tax. The result, looks like yet another tax grab by our government! While mulling this over and singing my heart out, I came across The Kingston Trio's old hit called The MTA Song. It was a funny spoof about a tax grab in Boston in the form of a fare increase on their subway system (the Metropolitan Transit Authority). It seems a man named Charlie got on the system but couldn't afford to get off! As a result, he was "The man who never returned". A little ludicrous, but it made a humorous point about being overtaxed and so I immediately saw a similarity to our situation and decided to rewrite the song with a Canadian slant. This is the result. Enjoy it. Cheers,
