Sounds like this is a tax to be only paid by residents of BC not those traveling in and out.

Clearly this tax is just for show and will not make even the tiniest dent in CO2 pollution.

Exactly!!!...its a bloody joke. We are in the summer season, with this tax pushing gas even higher it will hurt the tourism industry here. But I guess that is OK for Gordo he doesnt go on his drinking binges in BC

OH btw...I just want to put out that I didnt mean to offend anyone with the dropdown tagline (about sexual favours)...its just my feelings about it.

So if you cross all those guys on that list off, and believe him when he says there's lots more, who does that leave to pay this tax. All us "revenue neutral" guys right.

$1:

Including "industrial processes" in the cement and oil-and-gas sectors and "fugitive emissions" from farms and landfills.

Oh boy, won't people be tickled pink by that.

But with BC being so environmentally friendly and all I'm sure they won't mind. After all they did support this tax.

What has Gordo got in common with the pine beetle?


They are both screwing up BC's economy.

The pine beetle is doing it for food. Lord Jesus knows why Gordo is doing it?
I figure it must be hate. Does he hate us taxpayers? What else? Could be a hate crime? Gordo is making me feel worthless.
Got to see the HRC about this.

I wonder if Suzuki has read the fine print?
