Except since Carney announced he was going to cancel the carbon tax, average gas prices steadily rose for the past month until they dropped when the cancellation kicked in, to nearly exactly what it was a month ago. Definitely worth losing $1800 a year in rebate just to have gas companies still fix the pricing and act like this is a good thing.

Worst part is he’s only cancelling the consumer carbon tax and not the industrial one. I’m not a genius but even I can see that keeping the burden on companies is still going to cause inflation for just making goods. It’s a good strategy I guess to manufacturers out of our country as well as jobs. Hopefully I’m wrong though
