BC Joins Alberta in using the carbon tax to raise general revenues, just like any other tax. And in the process dramatically changes the cost/benefit analysis.

BC’s Government is going to raise taxes on corporations plus and increase in taxes on the “rich”, or those earning $150K +. Thats on top of the Federal Liberals raising the costliest taxes of all on entreprenuers and small business.

Often in  elections people vote for change, though in BC’s case its likely that most voters are happy that BC leads the country in economic performance. Basically if the new NDP Government makes no changes at all, BC is a growth powehouse. Growth is projected to be between 3 – 3.5% this year and job growth 5.4% this year and next.
