Discord on HST within the BC Conservative Party....?

It seems that even executive members of the BC Conservative can agree on its' party position on the HST

From CBC's BC website:

Meanwhile, as the deputy leader of the B.C. Conservative Party joined Vander Zalm in delivering the petition, one of the party's vice-presidents stepped down on Wednesday, saying the party was actually in favour of the tax.

Mischa Popoff said there is a mistaken impression that the B.C. Conservatives want to eliminate the tax.

"This isn't true, unfortunately, even though I wish that my party would take a clear stand on that," he said.

"It turns out the B.C. Conservatives want some sort of compromise solution, a made-in-B.C. solution, or something to that effect. And then there's a contingency of the upper brass of the B.C. Conservative Party that flat out just wants to actually support the HST, but they're not saying so publicly."
