With just a few cents more per liter at the gas pump, people are already cranky in BC?  Lol.  They say it could still go up.  Embrace it!

Just love it that prices are starting to soar.......

Kris Sims, the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said when filling up a typical Toyota Camry sedan, $5.99 will now go toward the carbon tax. More than $10 will go toward the tax to fill up a pickup truck, she added.

And when it comes to the larger tractor trailers that transport the food and supplies most of us rely on, more than $45 of the cost of a diesel fill-up will go toward the tax.

“So it’s just an astounding amount of money when you start to add this up,” she told CTV News Channel on Monday.

Sims said she supports initiatives to create cleaner air, but only if ordinary residents are not made to suffer.

“The idea of amping up the carbon tax to the point where it punishes people so much that they can’t run a business and they can’t drive around, we have to ask ourselves: what kind of an economy and society will that be?”

It's a tax grab.   This is how Trudeau will bankroll all his reckless spendings.

Food, and anything else that uses transportation will go up in prices, too!
