Say it isn't so! B.C. Carbon Tax now longer revenue neutral.

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

BIG SURPRISE HERE!
But but but...

People who support something like a carbon tax and trust the government not to dump it into general revenue are gullible at best and plain stupid at worst. This was the plan all along just like the GST.

Wake the **** up Canada.

How B.C.’s formerly ‘revenue neutral’ carbon tax turned into another government cash grab

Charles Lammam and Taylor Jackson: The carbon tax will result in a cumulative $865 million tax increase on British Columbians — so much for revenue neutrality

How B.C.

But wait. Here's another link.

Hey BC, wanna buy some magic beans?

I doubt even magic beans could get us out of the quagmire Horgan and Weaver have put us in, pete. Not that they won't be scrambling for any tiny bit of hope that they can somehow, someway come out of this with their unholy alliance still in tact and the government still standing.

You'll be voting by September

I pray daily that will happen, pete.

 

[captain morgan]

The real question is; Exactly how much damage will happen until Horgan is outed?

This hearkens back to Sen. John Kerry on The Big Dig in Boston...

"This tunnel will be a bargain!"

Not one of you checked out the date of that article to be Feb 2017?

I'm shocked.

Shocked!


Anyway, here's the neutrality factor into 2018:

To improve affordability, government is increasing the Low Income Climate Action tax credit to $135 per adult and $40 per child for 2018 and continuing the Northern and Rural Homeowner Benefit (up to $200 per household).

Sorry to burst your delusional conbot bubbles.

Carry on.

Well, Crumb A didn't quite work...time to try Crumb B.

They don't get much more crumby than the flosstard

So rebates on heating oil instead of investing in a vaster NG network?

Makes perfect sense in battling emissions.

 

[mentalfloss]

A suggestion for how to better implement the carbon tax from petros?

Well done, my Global Warming Protege!

Yabut, that heating oil is transported by trucks and NOT pipelines, therefore, it is Gaia-friendly

You guys should get in there and continue your Climate Action Initiative.

Keep up the good work!

It also hearkens back to the Glen Clarke Fast Ferry fiasco also under an NDP government here in BC, Eagle or the huge cost over-runs on the Vancouver Island highway. The NDP can't seem to keep themselves stumbling from one disaster to another whilst trying to cheat charities out of funds - reference Bingo Gate.

Thanks.

I make it a point to warm-up my truck for at least 45 minutes every morning.... Once that's done, I jump in my car that's still all toasty and warm from being in a heated garage and take off for the day

 

[mentalfloss]

Yes, we're already aware you leave the garage door closed while you do that.
