Well, no kidding.
What else is supposed to happen when you cut a large revenue stream?
The BC tax has been around since 2008 and generally considered very successful. It was started by the BC Liberals & eventually supported & kept when the NDP took over.
Both conservative and liberal minded governments supported it.
But now it has to go, because simple minds are afraid of the words " carbon tax".
If there's an own here; it's an own on the morons who need things canceled because they're snowflakes afraid of a word; so the rest of us have to deal with a 1.6B budget shortfall to appease their sensitivities.
