Another Flaw Of BC’s Carbon Tax Appears

From the brilliant initiative that charges British Columbians more money to heat homes and fuel cars, then gives them money so that they can afford these new charges, comes yet another flaw.

Individuals and Corporations can get rebates from BC’s Carbon Tax program, but what about School Districts?

The cost of the new carbon tax to local [Prince George] classrooms is estimated to be about $80,000 per year. School officials are writing a letter to the provincial Minister of Finance asking for that money back the way other sectors are being reimbursed for the B.C. carbon pollution initiative.

Well, I hope that the BC Government will fix up this flaw of the Carbon Tax. Then, again, other flaws have been discovered and not corrected.

Dennis MacKay Apologizes For Burning Water Comments

Sometimes we all make mistakes.  Like BC MLA Dennis MacKay, who claimed in the BC Legislature that the local water of Telkwa, BC, was safe to drink, yet could be lit on fire with a match because of methane seeping from coal deposits. Interestingly enough, the local residents haven’t run into this phenomenon, and thus have become rather upset at MacKay’s remarks.

So MacKay did the proper thing when one makes a mistake, and apologized.  Personally, I believe it shows strength of character from MacKay to do that.

Oh, wait. Never mind.
