West Kelowna's council says it's completely fed up with the province's decision to consider a tax on property owners from outside BC.
Mayor Doug Findlater and CAO Jim Zaffino will seek a sit-down with Premier John Horgan over the next couple weeks.
Councillor Rick de Jong wondered aloud why his city was hand picked for it.
"It's a tit-for-tat with Alberta? Or a tit-for-tat because this is a BC Liberal stronghold? Or the past MLA being the premier of the province? I don't know, and really at this point in time, I really don't care," he said.
"This needs to be addressed. We're hearing quite loud and clear how this is going to hit our local economy. And if you're a resident in West Kelowna and Kelowna, and don't think this is going to have a negative impact on you, I'd beg to disagree."
Councillor Duane Ophus says he thinks there's so much wrong with it, it's tough to know where to start.
"If this proposed tax is not unconstitutional, it certainly should be. Because it's absolutely wrong to pick on people just because they're a resident of some other province," he said.
Councillor Carol Zanon says looking past the dollars and cents, it just sends the wrong message.
"It upsets me that we're creating a border between us and the rest of the country, especially our neighbour Alberta, and the message is to stay away from here. As a Canadian, I resent that terribly," she said.
"I do not want to create that, or be responsible for it. And we as the municipality that's affected, are probably going to be identified with this."
The city says the tax would cost the average out-of-town homeowner $17,000 per year, and that about 600 properties would be eligible for the tax.
219 people wrote into the city in opposition to the tax, while 19 letters were written in support.
