Harmonized Sales Tax: Bill Vander Zalm

Phone Interview Dept: The former premier, now at the centre of a vigorous battle against the harmonized sales tax, is only joking. He's happy to talk about literacy and offer his support to the Postmedia Raise-a-Reader campaign, according to Vancouver Sun. Archie, Donald Duck and Superman opened the doors to a language and a culture the young boy, who emigrated from the Netherlands after the Second World War, knew nothing about. "I hate reading," Bill Vander Zalm says in a phone interview with The . "The number of e-mails I have to go through every day, I get so much of it, it's driving me crazy." Vander Zalm discovered the joy of reading when he taught himself English at the age of 12 by reading comic books. As reported in the news.
