The Initiative was great, but the real leverage has always ultimately been in recall. Heck, there would be no binding referendum at all, and Campbell would still be in office, if Fight HST hadn't had recall in the works all this time. And serious people follow through when they make threats. <br /><br />Actually recalling McRae would be nice, but it's more of a secondary goal here in my opinion. To disagree would mean one is arguing that the real reason Fight HST formed <br />was to stop Don McRae's perfidious reign of terror over the province, and that's just ridiculous. What will make recall a success or not is if the added pressure materially helps lead to the successful repeal of the HST, and I think it will.Adrian B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-86243405705159383152011-03-01T13:48:36.719-08:002011-03-01T13:48:36.719-08:00Not going to happen.
