Didn't vote NDP, but not totally against their policies. It's the execution that bothers me. I do believe a carbon tax is a good idea in this province - we need to reign in our energy use in this province (as everywhere else in the modern world) but there has to be another way to measure it - perhaps on the sale of new vehicles, I have no idea. However, I guess the portion of tax on gasoline is pretty much a consumption tax, so technically you don't have to pay it if you don't consume. I'd like to see a move towards more efficient and smaller cars if possible. Not sure the PC's would have gone down this route if they had another four years.
