We live in a democracy (a flawed one, unfortunately). But it's your prerogative to vote as you deem suitable and I apologize if I've come off harshly - you can see that many people have strong feelings due to how much everyone is currently struggling.

If you feel that a nominal tax increase is your single issue line in the sand, then you do you. Just worth keeping in mind how taxes serve the entire community and that the BC NDP have reduced the balance massively (the opposite of bankrupting). Also worth keeping in mind the many examples of people advocating for less tax, like just south of us, and the mentality/society that follows versus Europe (with way higher taxes and progressive brackets) and their mentality/society.

I've lived in many provinces, BC being one of them, and I've noted that people in BC take the social and governmental services for granted; where other provinces just give you the finger for those same things.
