Hi Bill!

While I don’t support the BC Liberals at all, I think the Carbon Tax is a step in the right direction. I even think it’s not high enough. After all, the fate of the planet is at stake and if we don’t take courageous but achievable measures now we’ll be in a much worst situation when… there won’t be any petrol left. Gas prices are going up and it will never go back. The Carbon Tax is a good idea to reduce our dependency on this polluting and soon to be extinct source of energy.

What is not a good idea is tax credits for corporations and lack of funding into public transit. Because if we tax gasoline many people will need an alternative mean of transportation. The Carbon tax is a step in the right direction, but I’m afraid the BC Liberals are not up for the challenge of the future: building an environmentally sustainable society.

Thanks,
Frédéric.
