Justin jacks up crippling carbon tax
Last Friday afternoon on the last sitting day of Parliament before Christmas, Justin Trudeau announced a massive increase of the carbon tax so much for Liberal transparency.
Under Trudeau’s new plan, the Liberals are going to raise the carbon tax from $50 a tonne they promised in the last election to a whopping $170 a tonne by 2030. That will translate to an additional 37.57 cents per litre to the cost of gas.
It’ll make groceries even more expensive then they already are. It’ll increase the cost of heating your house. And it’ll hurt businesses, especially here in Alberta.
