“As Mark Carney says ‘we have what the world wants’, but what that is, is our country”. Naomi Klein makes an excellent point that Canada’s natural resources belong to Indigenous nations and are not his to give away to the highest bidder so they can stock their bunkers. #cdnpoli

NDP estimates the gas tax cut "will cost approximately $280 million through to April 2027" Details on the gouging safeguard below Unclear why the BC NDP government couldn't act on this any time in the past 6 years Instead, it's a campaign promise. Remember all the 2024 campaign promises? #bcpoli
Building on the model used in the four Atlantic provinces for decades, the BC NDP will introduce a “price guard” to regulate gasoline and diesel prices in BC. The BC NDP will empower the BCUC to set the maximum prices that retail stations in the province can charge consumers for gasoline and diesel. 

This maximum price will be updated weekly with fluctuations in the benchmark price for crude oil. The maximum price will be determined by the benchmark price plus allocations the BCUC sets for refining and retailer margins (including a reasonable rate of return), transportation costs, federal and provincial taxes, and other factors. The BCUC will determine these allocations through regular reviews that allow the industry to demonstrate its actual costs. The maximum price will also vary by region to account for differences in distribution and storage, retailer operating costs, and taxes.

To prevent supply shortages, the BCUC will update and publish the maximum price more often than weekly if needed in response to sudden global market shocks or supply chain interruptions. The maximum price may also be adjusted to correct for past differences between expected and actual costs.

Suspending gas taxes is the easiest move for politicians to make when gas prices are high and it's also the dumbest. It does very little to alter the material conditions of constituents, but costs a shit ton of money while slightly diluting the market signal that high gas prices should send.
