Sure, let's all sit around and not drive to the beautiful destinations we're trying to save through the carbon tax.
Canada's entire carbon emissions add up to about 2% globally. The carbon tax in BC does precisely nothing* to impact global emissions.

Back to the favourite VV argument I see. Canada has a small population so it doesn’t matter what we do.
Other things we could get on board with:
1. Canada has a small population so we should reintroduce CFCs in our fridges to save a couple bucks. The ozone hole won’t notice.
2. Instead of recycling Victoria should burn all recyclables in a big bonfire. It will make no noticeable difference to the planet.
3. Tomorrow I will take a crap directly on the street. One persons **** isn’t gonna make a difference.
Of course in reality it takes everyone to pitch in to enact change. No single group is big enough to do it themselves. It doesn’t work if India and China don’t do it too, but they certainly won’t do anything if they see everyone else slacking.
Good news: electric vehicle takeover of the market will make this discussion of gas prices irrelevant within about a decade.
