Green House Tax Smoke & Mirrors

DON'T BELIEVE ANY POLITICIAN FROM ANY PARTY!
Remember when they brought in the National Income Tax. They promised that it would remain in effect only until all of Canada's World War One Debt was repaid. Fooled us good. Debt was repaid, but the tax never came off and will be with us for all eternity. How about this Lie, Trudeau imposed a 5% tax on every liter of Gas in order to establish a National Oil Company called Petero Canada. He swore that this tax would come off as soon as Petro Canada was up and running. And so it came to pass, Petro Canada was established, It was sold to private hands, the enormous cash windfall was frittered away AND HIS 5% (plus, plus) still adorns our pumps to this very day. Now how is this for a con job? (PETRO - CANADA stands for P ierre E lliot T rudeau R ipped O ff Canada)

Take our BC Premier Campbell, PULEEZE. He truly believes that most British Columbians are brain dead. You will keep paying a yearly escalating carbon tax at the pump and you receive a reduction in your provincial Income Tax. The new

Political Buzz Word is 'Revenue Neutral Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. Should this not be called what it truly is. 'RECYCLING YOUR MONEY' Just Think Folks, Another Bureaucracy eating up our our hard earned cash to administer a losers dream.

And Remember, once a government gets addicted to a Tax Grab, and you let them get away with it, You have handed them a Carte Blanche ticket to impose new taxes, to keep raising existing ones and use it to buy your votes to boot. If we condone all this, then Premier Campbell is right in assuming that we are all BRAIN DEAD in BC.

How depressing. You do make it sound like there is actually something we can do about this...but you failed to share this information. Short of not driving (not very realistic for me) what can we do about the "money grabbing" carbon tax? I 100% agree w/ you, but I am at a loss of a solution - I fear we don't really live in a democratic society. sure we get to vote in our so called "leaders", but once they are in they proceed to do whatever they damn well please and it doesn't matter what the public wants. In fact are we EVER really consulted on much of anything? We use the term "democratic" very loosely in my eyes.

While I agree the carbon tax is unfair to Northern residents who are without the option of transit, and by nature of their employment require larger vehicles, any movement of taxation from income to consumption is a good move. We need to lobby for some sort of Northern prvoncial tax credit, something our 3 Liberal MPs have so far been silent about.
It's also somewhat difficult to complain about 2.4c for the Province when it pales to the extra 50c oil companies have stuffed into their pockets in the last year or so.

Agreed cryptkeeper. I suspect many of the people so focused on the 2.4 cents have an axe to grind with the government and nothing more. Nobody says anything about the major part of the increase by the oil companies.

If the government took the 2.4 cents off tomorrow, it would make no difference. The oil companies would likely raise their prices to fill in the gap.

Civil disobedience is the only answer to this BS
