Bringing it up only confuses a lot<br />of folks who do not understand constitutional divisions of power.<br />Having said that, I am getting worried that the Premier in B.C. is acting more and more like a Federal Liberal. Killing the carbon tax in B.C. would certainly boost our economy and build job making business.<br />But, I don't expect Christie to do anything but smile and curtsy for the cameras.<br />melwilde from kelownaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-53130956460228858192011-04-18T06:14:36.589-07:002011-04-18T06:14:36.589-07:00reduce gas taxes and start building a pipe line fr...reduce gas taxes and start building a pipe line from alberta to ontario. create jobs and increase the use of canadian oil in canada. have a price for canada that is below the world price and charge world price for all our oil exports as we do now. old white guyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-16401823576205093102011-04-18T00:22:34.261-07:002011-04-18T00:22:34.261-07:00I know that reducing gas taxes is attractive.
