B.C. finds itself out of step with the country on the carbon tax all of a sudden
Premier David Eby has put significant effort into making nice with the federal Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He’s travelled to Ottawa four times, and hosted Trudeau at least twice more, just within the last year. Always, Eby goes out of his way to make complimentary remarks about the progress the two governments are making on the big issues facing voters today.
Provincial New Democrats were left stunned and angry at the news. Suddenly, B.C. is now one of the only provinces out-of-step with the national carbon tax framework. There is a lesson here for BC New Democrats that they are unfortunately slow to learn: The Liberal government is not a friend of this provincial government. It never has been. It never will be. B.C. is always the collateral damage in whatever vote-buying scheme the Liberals have cooked up for another part of the country.
The Eby administration has only been moderately more successful in dealing with Ottawa. That’s mainly because the federal Liberals are slipping so badly in the polls. A recent announcement Ottawa was dropping the GST on purpose-built rental housing had much more to do with political panic than months of lobbying by the B.C. government.
