Meanwhile - former Cariboo Regional District Area 'F' Director and current President of the local Cattlemen's Association Duncan Barnett took Victoria to task, once again, over its' support for the Carbon Tax and the fact the tax is continuing to hurt ranchers' in the Cariboo-Chilcotin - read his comments here
For myself - I agree with Mr. Barnett in that the carbon tax is the only tax that charges for carbon in North America and if we, as a Province, won't entirely get rid of it, then let's give more help to our ranching sector so that they can compete with their counterparts in Alberta and USA. Finally - for BC Conservatives' to continually 'squak off' about BC Liberal fiscal policies is really getting old because if they truly want to become government in 2013 and want to rid this province of the fiscal deficit (caused by external forces), then they need to say how they'll make up ditching the carbon tax and which provincial services (healthcare, education, social services, transportation, etc) they'll dump in order to bring the provincial books to balance. Sound bites won't do. Actual list of services that BC Conservatives' will dump is now needed as the voters' of this province need to know how each political party will serve the best interests of this province from 2013-2018

Steve ... as much as I appreciate your comments, you'll note that the basis for my blog post was ultimately the comments of the BC business community.
I do happen to agree with them.
What I fail to understand is why you would shoot the messenger?
