  2. Vancouver residents should pay lots more for gas. To, as they say, “save the planet”.

    Soon Justin will have border officials charge you carbon taxes on however much gas you have in your tank when you come into Canada.

  3. I just got back from BC, gas prices are all over the map even in the same town. I saw everything from $1.35 to $1.58 within about 3 Kilometres. That got me thinking, if you have ever used pot, you will be banned from entering the US for the rest of your life. Getting cheap gas across the boarder will not be happening for very long. Also, Alberta should put a carbon tax on every litre of any oil product going west of about $10.00 per litre. Play this as a green move and trying to help traffic congestion in the Vancouver area and the BC NDP/Green party will cheer and welcome it. Plus it would help Alberta funs the rest of Canada…

    My thought, not yours.

    1. “…. Alberta should put a carbon tax on every litre of any oil product going west of about $10.00 per litre…..”

      Sounds reasonable, even innovative, you could notify Kenney, he may thank you.
      As it is, the socialist extremists should welcome it with open wallets.

      Just so you know, talking about politicians here.

  4. Hopefully Kenney will help BC save the planet from CO2 and drive their gas up to 5 bucks a liter. We must get the CO2 levels down to 10ppm or we will boil from the inside out in 3 years!

    Enjoy the high gas prices comrades!

  5. The view from here is that the population of British Columbia loves taxes.
    Those retired from sea to shining sea love them even more. Went hiking some time ago and the tanned old ladies were just so happy with themselves, they consider the taxes they pay not a problem. The taxes they translate into sunshine tax, you pay the tax, you get the BC sunshine.
    If you think that a bit further you may find that most if not all of them pay no taxes at all, it’s them other suckers.
    They just use the other people’s taxes more and more, doctor’s office is one of their favored pastime, makes them feel needed.
    Stop getting bloody upset, not talking about sick people.
    Make of it what you will.
    It is the beloved socialist extremists that run the government of BC that instituted all kind of taxes, the plebeians are endlessly happy to pay them.
    The Horgan character said that he is going to find out, get to the bottom of it, why is it that the gasoline is so expansive in Vancouver.
    Hold on now, isn’t this Horgan character one of those that is stopping a pipeline that would bring more raw materials to distill them into gasoline and other stuffs?
    Aren’t the people in lower mainland against just about anything that comes out of Alberta?
    Have they not stopped a refinery to be built in the area?
    It must be collective, socialist schizophrenia.
    However they love the free stuff.
    Interestingly enough, they gotta pay for gas. Well, whaddya know, doesn’t that suck?
    It seems though that there are more of the free stuff takers than those that produce the stuff that other people pay for.
    As they discovered in Venezuela, there is a glitch in the narrative.
    Somebody gots (sic) to work, it’s just one of those things.

    Sometimes I wonder about this stuff and let the fingers do the talking.

    1. Lotusland is a realm of magic. Lotuslanders believe that if one clapped hard enough Tinkerbell will fly, that all one has to do to return to Kansas is to click one’s heels together and repeat “There’s no place like home”, and that one can conjure anything out of nothing.

      Worrying about how any of that will be accomplished and how much it’ll cost makes one a heretic, to be cast into the outer darkness where men weep and gnash their teeth.

  7. All of the above.

    Hopefully the pain for them is only beginning. Their grocery prices are also going to go through the roof.

    1. They’re really going to have to accelerate “investments( taxes)” in wind, solar, and incentivse( taxes, fines, fees, licenses) to reduce carbon costs and build( taxes, planners, new regulatory agencies ) the low impact economy( Venezula) of tomorrow, today.
      These Big Oil prices are a opportunity that should not go to waste!

  10. Ya, I’m from B.C. and I am for pipelines whether NG or oil. Progressives in BC killed $260 billion of compressed NG infrastructure build out in Prince Rupert and Kitimat. Not a good record. We will rid ourselves of the Dippers I am sure.

    So consider also the holy than tho protestations from AB. Yes, a constituency that has footed a ‘equalization’ tax that far outstrips any semblance of equity. Yet the AB politicians went along with that. Oil revenue allowed a level of per capita spending that far outstrips most jurisdictions in all of North America. The fact that the Heritage Fund is not worth $1 trillion is a travesty. When throwing the shit look where the wind is blowing.

    Whether BC or AB the bottom line is that politicians today have open cheque books with no qualms for spending, whether conservative or progressive. The population’s financial knowledge is at a all time low. It is intellectually weak to argue against progressive thought when fiscal conservatism has utterly failed to put forth a case that will sway the voters. ‘Free stuff’ is a siren call that has worked for thousands of years and will continue to work. The vast majority of people are ‘in it’ for their immediate gain, not the long term good of humanity. I include our leadership in that condemnation.

  11. I love all those BC’ers who buy Alberta crude. We nail ’em on both sides of the border.

    That stuff you buy cheaper in WA, is the same stuff you get at the pump in Canada, sans the Alaskan input. You voted NDP, you’re stupid. That goes for the retards in Alberta that vote NDP, too.

    I don’t see BC’ers bicycling to Whistler in winter, or to work even at any time of the year. Especially on the North Shore, the hill’s too steep. BC drivers also have no respect for bikers…I know, I lived there once. Our NDP aren’t prone to bicycles either, too damned cold in winter, especially in NDP Town…Edmonton. Bunch of virtue signalling blowhards. Their thermostat will NOT be lowered in winter over carbon taxes. And with Kenny elected , cut their wages, benefits and staffing levels, we can’t afford them, while the LPOC aim to crush the AB economy.

  12. See, BCs carbon tax on gasoline reduces “BC” carbon footprint.
    All the gas sold in the US to BC residents is not calculated in BCs carbon emissions, emissions can only be calculated on gas sold, the gas sold in the US is not included in BCs calculations.
    The more gas that is sold to BC residents in the US means that the BC carbon emissions go down.
    Never mind that the gas is burned in BC, and the emissions are emitted in BC.
    “An Inconvenient Truth” if I ever heard one.
