Should mention that despite all the "obvious benefits" it took a billion-bollar bribe to get us (our gummints) to swallow it. And how its initial provisions required the taxes be hidden in the price (possibly part of the "Blending" that was its original name), which was so disparate from the rest of country some mail-order businesses such as Lee Valley warned they'd not sell to us at all because it wasn't worth printing a separate catalogue.

[edit] Applicability outside the HST region

Unlike other provincial sales taxes, the HST applies to items sold by vendors from outside the HST provinces. I'm not exactly sure of how far this applicability spreads, but if someone could find a source for it and add it into the article, that would be great. --RealGrouchy (talk) 16:18, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
