Premier David Eby should fight to make life more affordable by ditching the carbon tax altogether, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation believes.
Premier David Eby needs to decide who he’s working for: British Columbians or Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
B.C.’s carbon tax hike of around three cents per litre came on the same day that the Trudeau government raised the federal carbon tax on every other province, except for Quebec, which gets preferential treatment from Trudeau and is allowed to pay a lower carbon tax. In Manitoba, NDP Premier Wab Kinew is putting forward a proposal to exempt his province from the federal carbon tax backstop. The Liberal premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, Andrew Furey, wrote a letter to Trudeau asking him to cancel the carbon tax hike. In Saskatchewan, Premier Scott Moe went a step further and stopped collecting the federal carbon tax on home heating fuels.It should be an easy decision for Eby to oppose the federal backstop.
