The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on BC Premier David Eby to make three New Year’s resolutions: pay down the provincial debt, axe the second provincial carbon tax, and end the ICBC monopoly.
With the province going into 2023 with a $5.7 billion surplus, now is the time to cut taxes, pay down the provincial debt and end the fleecing of British Columbians by ICBC bureaucrats.
Families are paying the highest fuel taxes in North America, and despite sky high taxes, our carbon emissions keep going up.
With the provincial debt standing at more than $97 billion, every British Columbian owes around $18,500 towards the provincial debt.
This year, ICBC spent $173 million more on overhead, red tape and bureaucracy than they did on injury payouts.
The sole reason that people buy automotive insurance is so they can receive support if they suffer life changing injuries from a car crash. ICBC is a dumpster fire that burns billions of taxpayer dollars without providing the level of service that British Columbians expect.
