Here in BC the NDP were dead set against a carbon tax, but their enviro wacko component was challenged and they can read revenue reports and changed their mind once they saw the cash that was being raked in. Two weeks before the voting was called, the ferret Dix changed his mind and said he'd keep the carbon tax if elected, the consequence of that is he wasn't elected. One has to wonder how many of the Liberal tax increases will be kept if the NDP wins the next election. For the record new taxes created by the Liberals are taxes by any other name, ie; BC Hydro rates. ICBC premiums and MSP. She also increases gas taxes by 15 cents a liter, booze taxes by 9%, room taxes by 8%, 4% provincial AND 4% CIVIC, we have ferry fare increases which had the senior exemption reduced by 50% and transferred to a roulette type of fare reduction which if you hit the right ferry on the right day your passenger fare was forgiven, thank you seniors of BC. And then there is the room taxincreased by8%&tolls.
