First Day of Carbon Tax in BC
Today is Canada’s birthday and the first day of Carbon Tax. The BC government placed a thing called Carbon Tax on the gas we use to fill up our cars. I think it is total bullshit. The Liberal government says the tax helps to reduce gas consumption and reduce emissions to the environment. If we have a good transit system, who needs to drive? To me, this approach will only hurt the economy and does little help to the environment. Taxing is alright if the money is used wisely. I don’t see any hopes of the Carbon tax money going to be used properly. We pay lots of taxes but look at our health care and transit services, they are a mess. Gas costs $1.52/liter this morning and this nonsense is making me angry.

Our health care is a pretty sweet deal - take a trip down to the states, get injured, and try to tell me otherwise.

Hi D,
I know what you mean, but we deserve better health care here. With the amount of tax we pay, we should not have to wait months for treatment and hours for emergency.
