British Columbia's NDP government is moving quickly to eliminate the province's consumer carbon tax, aligning with the federal government's decision to lift its own version. Premier David Eby announced that the move is expected to result in a 17-cent drop in gas prices, offering immediate financial relief to consumers. The provincial legislature has reconvened to push through the necessary legislation. This marks a significant policy shift and a response to growing public and political pressure over high fuel costs. The change is expected to take effect as early as Tuesday.
