What I'm saying is:
1) I'm skeptical of sources that use CTF as a reference, especially those that use them as their only reference
2) Media often misrepresents CTF as a public watchdog when they're an anonymously-funded special interest group
3) Media often just quotes CTF instead of citing the publicly-available information themselves, which is lazy journalism.

So your opinion of the CTF aside, there's nothing in the article that you dispute then.

It may not have been neutral the past few years, but it was frozen.
Now it'll be increasing every year and won't be offset.
So we'll be paying more for everything without any easing.
It's a relatively universal sentiment that British Columbians pay too much for everything. Now it's only going to get worse. "The new normal".
