CELEBRATE OUR PROVINCE ON B.C. DAY Premier Gordon Campbell issued a statement in recognition of B.C. Day, Monday, August 2.  | "The early results of B.C.'s carbon tax experiment are in, and they look positive. At a time when political leadership on climate change is sorely lacking, B.C. has stuck its neck out and done what most experts say is the right thing.
