Taxes and more taxes … fees and more fees. Someone’s not telling the truth!


The Carbon Tax is an unfair tax that applies unevenly to people across the province. 

BUT ... it also negatively impacts schools, hospitals, universities and other services we rely on, by taking money from their budgets, rather than being used to provide services

This video with Canadian Taxpayers Federation Director Jordan Bateman is from several months ago, but it clearly identifies the issues, and problems, with Carbon taxes and the Pacific Carbon Trust.

Here’s another video that shows overburdened taxpayers in BC pay the highest gas taxes in North America.

And finally, on today’s tax kick, comes further confirmation that we pay higher fees and taxes ... more than any other province (with the exception of Ontario)  ... as this Global News story from December 29, 2011 tells us.


Still ... Christy Clark, and the BC Liberals, tell us we are blessed with the lowest taxes of any jurisdiction in Canada.

Taxes and more taxes … fees and more fees.  Someone’s not telling the truth ... any ideas on who you think that might be?

Okay, it’s your turn now … what are your thoughts?

I’m Alan Forseth in Kamloops, with the thoughts, and questions, of one conservative.

PS ... June 11th was Tax Freedom Day in Canada.  According to the Fraser Institute, if we were required to pay all government taxes up front, everything we earned up to yesterday would have gone to the government.
