Licia Corbella: “Hooray! Regular gasoline costs more than $2 per litre,” cheered Vancouverites over the weekend. Just kidding.
That’s what should be happening, but it’s not. Funny that. In fact, the opposite is happening. Anger is bubbling over in Lotus Land where gasoline prices Monday hit $2.09.9 per litre and are expected to continue to rise.
But … why the anger? People in favour of carbon taxes should be celebrating the high price of gasoline. After all, the higher the price the fewer people will drive and heat their homes and the faster alternatives to fossil fuels will be made available.
