The government of BC has found a terrific new way for you to help out with provincial finances: Buy more stuff. It doesn’t matter what you buy, as long as you buy more of it and pay more taxes on many items. Oddly enough not everyone loves this plan.
Oh, and for you sneaky unpatriotic types that were thinking about driving across the border to do some shopping based on new tax loophole, it’s not going to work right now.
