Higher bills for you, special deal for Quebec

Hi John,

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just proved his carbon tax is about politics, not the environment.

Trudeau is giving you higher bills and giving Quebecers a special deal on the carbon tax.

Drivers in every province and territory are forced to pay Trudeau’s 14 cents per litre of gas carbon tax. Every province except Quebec. In Quebec, the carbon tax is 10 cents per litre.

By 2030, Quebec’s carbon tax will be 23 cents per litre of gas.

Meanwhile, if you live anywhere outside of Quebec, Trudeau will make you pay 37 cents per litre. That means you’ll pay $10 more to fuel up a minivan than someone in Quebec.

If Trudeau’s carbon tax was truly about the environment, why is one province getting a special deal?

If you’re fed up with Trudeau’s unfair and unaffordable carbon tax, then you can sign the PETITION here: https://www.taxpayer.com/petitions/scrap-the-federal-carbon-tax

When you compare Nova Scotia and Quebec, it’s clear that Trudeau’s carbon tax is all about politics, not the environment.

Nova Scotia previously had a cap-and-trade carbon tax similar to the Quebec system. And Nova Scotia reduced its emissions by 36 per cent since 2005. Quebec reduced its emissions by 12 per cent.

Trudeau didn’t let Nova Scotia keep its provincial scheme. He just hammered Nova Scotians with the biggest single carbon tax hike in Canadian history.

Carbon taxes don’t cut emissions, they cut family budgets.

Making it more expensive for Canadians to fill up their grocery cart or fuel up their minivan won’t do anything to reduce emissions in China, India, Russia or the United States.

In fact, more than three-quarters of countries don’t have a national carbon tax.

And Trudeau’s carbon taxes make your life more expensive.

The carbon tax will cost the average family between $347 and $710 this year even after the rebates. That’s according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, which is the government’s own independent budget watchdog.

If you can’t afford to pay Trudeau’s carbon tax, then you need to join the taxpayer army fighting it. The first step is to sign the PETITION to scrap the carbon tax: https://www.taxpayer.com/petitions/scrap-the-federal-carbon-tax

Canadians need your help to completely scrap carbon taxes.

Thanks for fighting for taxpayers – it’s making a difference!

Sincerely,

Franco, Shannon, Todd and the CTF team
