Aaron Gunn: Its sole purpose is to raise the price of gas to punish you for driving ... and yet now they act all surprised when their policy does just that

Gas
prices in British Columbia are out of control.
On Friday
(April 4th), prices in Vancouver reached as high as $1.67 per litre
– shattering the all-time record, with Victoria and the rest of the province
not far behind.
And
while the (BC NDP) government and Premier John Horgan continue to make excuses,
I’ll let you in on a little secret – this is exactly what they wanted.
Not
only have they done everything in their power to stop the construction of the
Trans Mountain pipeline, they’ve also hiked the Carbon Tax 33% since getting
elected – including again this week.
A tax
that’s sole purpose is to raise the price of gas to punish you for driving ...
and yet now they act all surprised when their policy does just that. Does the
Premier really think British Columbians are that stupid?

And
look I have no problem with someone advocating for a Carbon Tax, if they’re
honest about it effects.
But
what I do have a problem with is someone pretending that taxing gas at 52 cents
a litre, the highest in North America, won’t also lead to this.
