People will see this as giving money to the natives instead of to the province so our taxes can be reduced or held flat. Instead, BC is about to see a huge tax increase. Yes, the media is saying it's a small increase but that is a flat out lie. If you just talk about the 1% corporate tax increase then it seems small. But start adding it up. 44% on craft beer for example. These taxes will cost jobs and that reduces taxes resulting in higher taxes next year. Round round it goes. The Tyee is toughting the taxes as reduced against the GDP. But, most people have no idea what the GDP of the people is because the exports skew that completely. So it sounds good but it is a lie. Do some googling. You will see that anger is heating up. If you are a senior with a hospital employees pemsion and the Old Age and the top up these taxes put you below the poverty line. I can guarantee you that there will be backlash.
