Gordon Campbell's resignation doesn't mean the battle against the harmonized sales tax is over.
The fight against the HST will continue, vowed Eric Allen, one of the local organizers of this summer's petition campaign that has led to a referendum on the proposal next September.
"We can't back off of this thing now," Allen said Thursday. "If anything, we have to pick it up a bit."
Allen said he'll keep a close eye on recall campaigns in the Lower Mainland. Three are scheduled to start in January although there is one group itching to get going November 15 when they first legally can.
"If they're successful and the government still doesn't move, then we'll start one here," Allen said.
As he announced during a rally in late September, Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Pat Bell would be the first target with the campaign likely to begin in early April.
