"more than two-thirds of British Columbians oppose the provincial carbon tax"

Most don't like carbon tax, poll finds

A poll commissioned by the NDP has found more than two-thirds of British Columbians oppose the provincial carbon tax, Opposition leader Carole James said Tuesday.

James said in an interview that British Columbians "want strong action on climate change," but "What British Columbians also believe is it has to be fair and it has to be effective."

James said the poll, conducted by Angus Reid Strategies July 11-13, confirmed her party's position that the government should target industrial producers contributing to global climate change.
