North hit especially hard on April 1st
PRINCE GEORGE – On April 1st, watch the price at the pump jump. That’s because the government of BC will be adding to the carbon tax. And for northern BC, where everything comes to the region via something that requires fuel, it’s costly.
“Folks are going to see the cost of just about everything going up on April 1st. And that’s before we mention gasoline, diesel and home heating British Columbia,” explains Caron Binda, the BC Director of the Canadian Taxpayer Federation. “And drivers already pay the highest taxes per liter of gasoline of anyone in Canada.”
