Yesterday, the BC Government introduced a new tax on fossil fuels which will raise taxes on gas by 2.4cents/litre. In return, every man, woman and child will get a $100 tax credit which, apparently offsets the cost. I'd like to see what sort of 'new funny math' (as my Gr. 10 Science teacher used to call it) they're using to figure that one out. Sure, it might be OK for folks that don't pay for natural gas and don't have a car but what portion of the population is that?

It all seems a bit fishy to me...I'm more inclined to believe the idea that this is all a way to offset ballooning Olympic costs.

God, now more than ever I'm leaning towards the NDP.
