Dear Editor:

What were John Horgan and the B.C. NDP thinking?

Organized crime should have a veritable field day due to the new insane tobacco taxes, which were introduced on April 1. B.C. now has the dubious distinction of the highest tobacco and gasoline taxes in North America – not to mention some of the highest housing costs.

It is both reckless and foolish to lead by examples such as these.
