Mixed feelings from shoppers, retailers about HST holiday in Halifax
Description
2 hours ago

With retailers feeling like the timing was poor, to shoppers feeling generally apathetic, there hasn't been overwhelming enthusiasm. However, as Global's Angela Capobianco reports, for some it is a good thing and getting the break has definitely been a big help for some.
