Road racing?
In White Rock?
Perish the thought.
Tracy Holmes, of the Black Press, has the story:
More than a dozen high-end vehicles spotted southbound on Highway 99 at speeds estimated at up to 200 km/h were seized in South Surrey and White Rock Wednesday.
White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet said police in the two communities were tasked to assist Deas Island RCMP, after the highway patrol fielded several complaints regarding the fast-paced vehicles around 3:30 p.m.
All of the vehicles were travelling “well over the posted speed limit,” Shoihet said, and included Ferraris, Maseratis and Lamborghinis – a combined value of more than $2 million….
But here’s the real thing.
If they were bought after the HST came into effect last July, none of those kids (or, more likely, their parents) had to pay the former 3% luxury tax on any of their Lambro’s.
As a result, single Moms have, instead, been forced to pay an extra 7% on their diapers to help make up the difference.
Which, thanks to Kevin Falcon’s foot-dragging, they are still paying.
The single Moms, not the Lambroized Street Racer-Boyz, I mean.
OK?
