For weeks, the B.C. Liberals and their supporters have been loudly blaming NDP Premier John Horgan for gas prices of $1.60 and even $1.70 a litre. Yesterday, the price in my neighbourhood was $1.39 per litre.

Will they now give Horgan credit for the price drop?

More gas-price honesty, please

Has anyone else noticed that since Alberta Premier Jason Kenny started running his pro-pipeline ads in B.C. media outlets that our gas prices have dropped 40 cents a litre?

Maybe the real solution to the problem would be a greater supply of honesty and a lesser supply of Tories.

Why tankers OK in south?

In the spring of 2018 the federal government bought the Trans Mountain pipeline for $4.5 billion. About a year later they’re trying to pass Bill C-69 to ban tankers on B.C.’s North Coast.

Essentially they’re saying that increased tanker traffic on the South Coast, where their pipeline terminates, is OK but tankers plying more northern waters isn’t. Never mind that tanker spills are extremely rare, it’s actually in B.C.’s southern waters where whales and other marine species are mainly threatened by ocean traffic.
