It did trickle down. Go follow the BC vs Alberta and Ontario gas prices since the tax break. The Delta between BC and Alberta went up by the 13 cents of the tax.
I don’t know how you can argue it didn’t work when the evidence it did is so easy to find.

Just look at the delta between BC and Alberta and how magically on April 1st the gap increased by roughly the amount of the gas tax. Where is your evidence it didn’t work?
Something else is going on in Alberta that is unrelated to the gas tax as if you look at Ontario their relief continued. So the last two weeks of Alberta vs ROC is interesting.
Kenny is an idiot and the whole gas tax relief policy stupid but unlike most of what Kenny does it lowered gas prices as intended.
