B.C. has the highest carbon taxes in North America, but between 2007 and 2019, we saw an increase in emissions from 65.5 to 67.9 metric tonnes of carbon equivalent.
With gas prices in British Columbia shattering all-time records this autumn, Premier John Horgan’s government is asleep at the wheel. Prices hit $2.33 in the Lower Mainland and $2 up north in Prince George.What’s left for groceries after that?
Right now, gas taxes account for 75 cents of the cost of a litre of gasoline in the Vancouver area and only lightly less up north. The provincial take is 55 cents per litre, including transit taxes, an excise tax and two carbon taxes. Dad drives a Ford F-150 because he needs to haul mulch to a few different landscaping sites, which is just not possible in a Prius. He does a lot of driving to and from different sites and fills up his 120-litre fuel tank twice a week. That costs him $180 in gas taxes every single week – just getting to and from work.

With the carbon tax set at 9.79 cents per cubic metre of natural gas, it will cost an average household about $212 extra for the luxury of staying warm this winter.Food is getting more expensive.
