Dear Editor,
All across this province, soaring gas prices have British Columbians fuming.
Whether you are hauling the kids to hockey practice, picking up groceries for your family, or getting mom to her doctor鈥檚 appointment, most of us drive because we have to. For families struggling to make ends meet, higher gas prices hurt.
It鈥檚 a reality Liberals back in Ottawa just don鈥檛 understand and it鈥檚 why the pain you experience at the pump today is about to get a lot worse.
The Liberals are forcing the provinces to implement a national carbon tax which will add 11 cents per litre to the cost of gasoline by 2022. It will also add at least 15 percent to your natural gas bill and almost 10 percent to your hydro bill.
The Liberal carbon tax won鈥檛 help the environment but it will make the cost of everything your family needs more expensive.
This isn鈥檛 about helping the environment, this is about picking your pocket.
As the voice for taxpayers, Andrew Scheer鈥檚 Conservatives will continue to fight for lower taxes.
Sincerely,
Mark Strahl, Member of Parliament for Chilliwack-Hope
