That would likely be turned down because voters know that introducing a sales tax will not reduce income tax or property tax.
The HST here in this province is wonderful. Take the case of building a house. An entity buys a piece of property, they pay HST on it. They buy materials and pay HST. They hire subcontractors and various services and pay HST on those. And they sell the house - and charge HST. Now, that entity gets to remove the HST for all their expenses from the HST they collected during the house sale, to recover what they have spent. However, in the meantime, all those expenses have added up during the construction phase and increased the base cost of every next step, since everybody at every step of the way needs to cover their own expenses, at the time they are incurred, which includes paying HST for everything they buy or every service they need to pay.
It is naive to think such a tax will not raise the actual end price of everything.
I wouldn't even say an F6 or F5. I have an F6, recently 'discovered' the N80/F80 and it does everything that could be needed. I haven't touched my F6 since. The N80s now can be had for $20-$30, the F6 about $1000.
I owned the F6 with motordrive but found it too heavy since I was no longer shooting sports with film and didn't need the features the F6 brought to the table. I thought it was the nicest working pro camera I ever owned (not counting the Ebony 810 I guess) but in the end it was too much camera for my film needs, and most pro work had switched to digital. The camera just came out to late, its customer had moved to digital by the time it arrived.
Do you have the huge action finder on it too? When I moved west, that was the camera that came with me.Wouldn't say no to one myself though...
Carrying an F with the motordrive and enough AA batteries to jumpstart a car is pretty heavy too. And yes, I do that. Why? Who knows.

Nope. Just the unmetered finder. That action finder looks like it would be great for someone with glasses.

Worn glasses just about my entire life. Used with a "E" screen, the one with the grid. Could hold it a couple of inches away from my eye and still see the whole screen. Hey, at least were not discussing taxes!
Builds character.
Wasn't enough so I got a Mamiya C33.
in construction, at least the federal sales tax was no longer influencing some of the costs.
Diane Arbus used a Mamiya with a flash attached amd she was only about five feet tall.
When she started she was 6'2"
was 6'2

Or because the cost of accepting credit cards is quite high.
A fair number of small businesses around here accept cash or Interac - a Canadian electronic payment/debit system that charges the vendor much lower fees.
Film craze.
A pack of expired non-frozen gold 200 just sold on this site for more than I would have paid fresh 3 years ago.
The film craze is not dead.
It was never a craze for me. I just did it.
Then include it in the cost of doing business. That would be wise.
One of the motivators for recent changes is that the charges paid by the retailers vary with the types of cards. If a customer uses a card with high associated "rewards", the retailer ends up paying more. And the retailer has no say in that.
I mean after digital took over you had to be a bit crazed to stick with film. I'm not judging harshly as I'm also still using the stuff but I think it is a current fad to a degree among people of a certain age.
I’m sure that you are right, but what age is that “certain age”?

Not to drag the thread off track, again but there was an article in the New York Times about how the interest from the card holders who are making the minimum payments each month is funding the rewards programs.
