And there goes the Alberta advantage.
Was just in North west Ontario and Manitoba. Gas was almost the same price as it is in Airdrie/central Alberta.

More carbon/L, more tax? Makes sense to me.

 

[retiredpop]

Saddest part is that a carbon tax never lowered emissions by one point anywhere. Just another Nanny Notley tax grab to support her NDP big government.

I wouldnt disagree with this if it were done right. If they took that money and provided it to our academic community to research viable alternative energies....then awesome. These idiot do gooders that think they are going to save the world by forcing un-viable technology on everyone make me so mad. Lets find technology that is viable before rolling it out.

 

[rzrgade]

Every NDP statement is missing two important words ...
ECONOMIC VIABILITY

 

[daddys girl]

HaHa the jokes on NDP I don't have any money.

 

[ferniesnow]

Just for interest, here is the price we paid per gallon in Montana over the weekend. All taxes in.........some people say that is our gas.

 

[machinehead]

That works out to 58 cents per liter USD.
So today that would be 76 cents per Liter CDN.
If and when the dollar improves, I see a possible increase in cross border shopping from the border towns !
