HST being charged on Stream+ Subscription... in BC

I'm being charged HST on my Stream+ Subscription even though I live in BC. I've tried to get help through chat but have been given the runaround and when they try and call me, my phone just ignores it because it thinks Telus is spam (even though I haven't blocked the number).
So here I am. It's a few cents but I don't want to pay more tax... I don't want to pay any tax but them's the cards we're dealt. What do I do?

HST is blended PST/GST 

In BC we often pay both taxes for 12% total

That's true that we pay PST and GST for 12% but this is 13% ON HST. 
HST means something specific so it's not really interchangeable.

Does your bill actually say HST? 

There was complaints by consumers that one tax also taxes the the other tax and thus it ends up being 13% approx. overall.
