And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft will not be appearing on the show tonight, as she makes the arduous journey home from the hinterland of Vancouver Island's retirement Mecca, Qualicum Beach. So, first up, Brad Slade and whither the future of the HST, and what for we who pay it still? Chris Cook hosts Gorilla Radio, airing live every Monday, 5-6pm Pacific Time.
