Premier David Eby (Screencap)

I am disappointed that B.C. Premier David Eby refused to agree with other premiers in regards to the carbon tax increase. At the moment gasoline is $1.93 a litre, and according to the B.C. website, the carbon tax on April 1 will be 17 cents a litre. I donB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t see the price at the pump coming down as summer is approaching, one of the oil companiesB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ excuses for an increase.

The home heating oil carbon tax is rising by 20 cents a litre. My 1,000-litre oil tank will now cost an additional $200 to fill.

For months I have been trying to figure out where this tax money is going. No politician will give a straight answer.
