Considering that they are the major growth industry for Canada, that AB pays bilions more into programs. I can see why. No sense shooting yourself in the wallet.

In BC, the tax cuts have also been accompanied by a low income supplement for those who would be hit hardest by the increase. Try reading one of my links earlier in this thread with the BC budgets. It's all in there.
So the fraud in Europe would be OK here? :roll:
I will go back when i have a chance.
BC is still runnin a major budget deficit. Same for all provinces. Debt keeps on rising and the days where BC for example can do the "Going to refund to you" programs are nearly over.
So we can all get ready for a lower standard of living.
My inflation dropped even more WOW.
You knew that 2-3% inflation increase each month is exponential and not a flat percentage?

In beautiful B.C. hospitals, schools,and all other government institutions
are charged carbon offset tax,coming off the top starving other areas of their operations,
The funny part is the funds end up in the hands of large carbon immiters like Encana.
Your tax $ at work.
Good plan eh Tonington,starve the children feed the multinational corp.
How long does it take for 2-3% per month inflation to gobble any measly 5% tax credit?
Get out your calculator and report back with your answer. Then we'll deconstruct where you went wrong.
Oh your right I blew it. The average British Columbian doesn't even come close to getting to tax credits. The 2-3% monthly inflation is wonderful and good for the economy and puts money in their pockets. Make them pay more!
Hooray for more taxes and tax induced inflation!

Yea ain't socialism grand?Those of us that work get the shaft(at least it is oiled) to appease greenies that don't work.
Two reasons for low unemployment in B.C.
1: Mass influx of rich retirees has skewed employment in favor of government employees
2: Anyone with out a government job or a good paying union job has moved to Alberta where they can earn enough to raise a family.
No an income tax is the only way. Taxing carbon is unfair to both rural areas and resource industries that must burn diesel or jet fuel.
Not bad for a "developing" nation!
The bottom line is the GW group knows China won't bow down to any demands made of it. So they give them developing nation status to avoid being embarrassed.
You sure did. I'd love to know how a constant variable produces both increasing and decreasing rates of inflation, and how it compounds every month. You could rework all of economics with this one if it ever worked. Call it mathtardology.
Yes, socialism, societal ownership of production...how does that relate to a consumption tax? I guess you and Petros can start a whole new school for your revolutionary concepts in economics and political science.
What GW group? So maybe you can work out who it was that gave China developing nation status. Let's see if you're any better than Petros at providing sensible evidence grounded in reality...
Doubt that. Government does not work for their monry, just raise the tax if they want more.
With government, citizens can look at the receipts and call foul. With corporations, consumers can look at income statements but have no influence whatsoever.
In the first case the only way to profit is to get more votes. In the second case, one can still profit with fewer contributions, but at a higher cost.
It's a fundamental problem with free market capitalism.
