If you are talking about taxes, in terms of what PP boy refers to in his campaign slogans, the Cons are strongly in favour of the axing the carbon tax.

As for the luxury tax on car purchases for vehicles over a certain price point, that is a different story.

I highly doubt that the luxury tax for car purchases will be axed for high end cars bought in B.C.

This tax is for high end products that the wealthy can certainly afford to buy even with a 20 percent tax on vehicles priced at $150,000 or higher.

For example, I posted on the "Sick cars in Vancouver" thread last month of a picture of a Maserati MC20 couple that I saw in December.

An acquaintance bought a similar MC20, a new white coupe for just over $300,000.

He did not trade in his older coupe, a Jaguar coupe, as part of the purchase of the MC20.

He has the money to buy his Maserati. -can afford to sell his Jag at a later time. -did not complain at all about the luxury tax that he paid for his Maserati. He also did not consider buying his MC20 from a Maserati dealership in Alberta. Although he could have bought his MC20 from a dealership in Alberta in order to take advantage of the tax loophole, he chose not to do so. He bought his new Maserati from the local dealership's inventory. -no need to wait for the same car from Alberta haha.
