The Editor,
It seems obvious to me but maybe someone should enlighten us as to why the provincial carbon tax doesn't seem to be paying for SkyTrain expansion, something desperately needed to get commuters out of their cars and ease the Lower Mainland's traffic problems.
Wasn't this money supposed to go for projects to reduce the carbon footprint?
Well, this is it.
A city of this size, with its outlying suburbs, needs a far more adequate public transit system than just some buses occasionally running to serve its transit needs if they want to get people out of their cars.
With the extra money being made from gas taxes, there really shouldn't be any excuses of there not being enough money to build it.
We've all waited for years for this government to see the light but there is a refusal to pull their heads up out of their troughs to see anything.
Isn't it long past the time that they came up for some fresh air?
