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

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. |

Because no way could I afford to go to work, pay bills and still buy groceries. Quoting: water is life is it a wonder why BC has more people on welfare... and the poorest collective work ethic in Canada? :smokin1: |

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... |

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. :smokin1: |

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. :smokin1: |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 63315734 Germany 09/27/2014 02:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 37707992 Canada 09/27/2014 02:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |
