    Oh I�m sure people in BC don�t mind even if some of the worst industrial emitters in BC are completely off the hook for this tax. If fact I bet the people of BC can�t wait until the tax hits the $0.07 / liter mark, after all it is revenue neutral. ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL

    Whatever the name or the grand design, it's just another tax.
    Gordo and hus usefull idiots can greenwash this all they like but the result is highest gas prices in all of Canada and no appreciable results.

    The BC Liberals are NOT "Liberal". They're right wing.

    Right or left, they are still a terrible party, and government.

    Maybe. But they're better than the alternative.
    True, and I think we are going to find out.

    The next inflated hydro and gas bill you get forward it on to Gordo after you pay half.
    Its revenue neutral so he should pay the other half.

    You obviously don't understand BC politics, mtbr.


    Two parties one is labeled left and one is labeled right. Time to start a new one.

    Has anyone else noticed that under Gordon Campbell, BC has increased the pace of becoming a serious nanny state? Booster seat laws take affect today as well.

    I think we're desperate to become California North.
    We're allied with them on this Hydrogen Highway stupidity when instead we shuld be drilling offshore, mining and ramping up our manufacturing.

    We currently have something like 39 registered provincial parties so there's lots of places to park a protest vote without giving it back to the NDP.
