If we have more revenue for the government per capita and ostensibly are providing the same services the is the problem revenue or spending?

might be the interesting way that BC does it's accounting.
'Taxes' may not have gone up, but ICBC premiums, BC Hydro, MSP etc etc have all gone up considerably while services have fallen off a cliff.
I think in the last 5 years my MSP premiums have risen more than 40%
