    Your comment is refreshing to see. Economists across the spectrum, from left to right, agree that the gas tax is too low in Canada and the US. Here, for example, is an op-ed by an economist for the conservative National Taxpayer Union arguing against a gas tax holiday.

    The US has the lowest gas tax in the developed world, but Canada is not far behind. Even BC has some of the cheapest gas in the developed world outside these two countries.
