Collect property tax on vehicles registered in BC
The state of Georgia charges an annual ad valorem tax on motorized vehicles. Car values decrease as cars age, so less wealthy people presumably pay less tax. I don’t think Georgia gives concessions for fuel efficient cars but that could be built in here. The new tax's unpopularity could be mitigated if the funds raised went to something really great and the accounting was extremely transparent.

Heavy reliance on taxes to go green is counterproductive and would be akin to shooting own foot. The trouble is that the "tax" money is not green to begin with and by fuelling green revolution with un-green cash we are not going to ever be able to catch our own tail. The bright thing is to reallocate the money that we already have and cut demands of all resources.

seems reasonable - but we all know how unaccountable the government can be.
The missed opportunities with the recent twinning of the Portman Bridge with the expanded highway but not including rapid transit?I would vote but my twenty are used.
