There are ONLY TWO downsides to the HST I have come across. And only one of them affect me.
1) paying more when you go out and buy shit. ie. food/clothes (groceries still exempted)
2) restaurants losing money
I read a report of restaurants losing business because of the new HST and their revenues are down. I also read something about some other small businesses that the HST has negatively affected them.
Are there anymore I missed?
Otherwise, the benefits seems to outweigh both of those for me, especially since #2 doesn't directly affect me since I do not own a restaurant.
