How would you feel if the government tacked on $1.31 per gallon of gas, and charged 5% tax ?

Because that's precisely what's happening in BC, Canada.

Keep in mind this is per litre, so Americans, that would be equivalent to adding $1.31 onto your cost per gallon:

bcgas


And people say BC is the "best place on earth". Give your head a shake. Shit like this is why I left for Alberta. Couldn't pay me enough to go back.

Fucking cesspool of morans who tolerate this shit. But don't worry, there is a firecracker in Alberta who will speak up for you. Since you pussies don't have the balls.

Don't they have a system, where they can throw the bum out?
I thought they had done that before. Maybe others will get tired or it and then you can really make head way.

I sure want our country back!
Daughter out with my own way.

at that point, it would be easier to just say screw it, and join the leeches on the public dole. Because no way could I afford to go to work, pay bills and still buy groceries.

is it a wonder why BC has more people on welfare... and the poorest collective work ethic in Canada?

I'm from Alberta and also have a place in B.C.
I don't understand how people in B.C put up with
the prices they do. I thought people were going to
start revolting over there years ago, but they just
keep taking it. For a province who produces so hydro
electricity the prices should not be doubling and tripling!!
It's like the government is trying to make people leave...

Thank you for being a voice of reason.

I don't know WTF the gov't is trying to do, to be honest.

I feel like BC is an experiment to see how far TPTB can take it until we Canadians decide to revolt.

Sadly most of us are still asleep and assume the gov't is actually out for our best interest.

Especially the bleeding hearts of BC.

And this gas price shit is only the tip of the iceberg.

I could write a novel on how crooked the government insurance company ICBC is.

When I lived in Victoria there were cops on every corner. It made no fucking sense... the crime rate in Vic is so low.

They make you feel like a criminal just for driving to work.

I am actually going to Victoria tomorrow. My entire persona will change when I'm there. I wish it were over already.

Fucking idiots of BC... haha. The RCMP had to publish an article in the newspaper, telling people not to call 911 when they found a dog locked in a car. And this wasn't in hot tempratures. This shit happens all year round. Fucking busybody imbeciles.

Fuel taxes in Germany are €0.4704 per litre for ultra-low sulphur Diesel and €0.6545 per litre for conventional unleaded petrol, plus Value Added Tax (19%) on the fuel itself and the Fuel Tax. That adds up to prices of €1.42 per litre for ultra-low sulphur Diesel and €1.55 per litre (approximately USD 8.10 per US gallon) for unleaded petrol.



Diesel:
1.42 - 0.4704 = 0.9496 € TAXES(=201.8 %)

Conventional:
1.55 - 0.6545 = 0.8955 ³ TAXES(=136.8 %)


Still want to complain?

Agreed! ICBC is the worst! And BC Ferries keeps raising their prices. Gas is going up and up, electricity like I said, food and mostly everything. It's defiantly not as bad here in Alberta. They are cracking down on wood stoves on Vancouver Island pretty bad, the new CSA approved ones that you have to get now won't even burn though the night. Garbage. What good is a stove that only burns for afew hours if your main heating source is wood. I'm not waking up in he middle of the night to put more wood in. They made me install a smart meter on the property, which I'm getting rid of ASAP and to get rid of the $400 a month electric bill I am going solar ASAP aswell. As soon as they installed the smart meter the power bill went up and no more electricity was used. But try arguing with BC hydro lol. They say oh, your old meter must have been reading wrong and giving you a deal, end of story. BC is going down hill quick.

And aren't they basically penalizing people who don't agree to the smart meter?
