The starting rate adds 4.4 cents to the price of a litre of gas, about four cents to a cubic metre of natural gas, and also drives up the cost of propane, butane and aviation fuel.People in Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick will be paying more for gasoline and heating fuel Monday when the federal government’s carbon tax begins in provinces that refused to impose their own emissions pricing.
Todd Lewis, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, said while farm fuel is exempt from the carbon tax, the levy does apply to that used in commercial trucks and trains moving grain off farms and bringing in seed and equipment. The business community also has unanswered questions. The federal government has yet to reveal details about a program to rebate some of the increased costs faced by small- and medium-sized businesses.
Ford has tweeted nearly daily about the tax over the last two weeks — his caucus members have contributed dozens more — and has held news conferences to rail about it. In Manitoba, Progressive Conservative Premier Brian Pallister initially intended to implement a lower carbon tax, and demanded the province be recognized for spending billions to build clean hydroelectric infrastructure. He dropped the idea and joined the protesting provinces when Ottawa refused to accept the lower rate.Pallister said the tax comes at a time of economic uncertainty for Manitobans.

globepolitics Carbon price
globepolitics The “like it or not”, “we don’t really care what you think”, “we have to steal your money because you wouldn’t give it” Liberals will rob us blind if they could. JustinTrudeau doesn’t see Ontario exceeds requirements and nails us with a tax anyway.
globepolitics Liberals start raking in the cash Monday ... bankrupting Canada one day at a time. No spending plan other than buying cars and homes for those who can actually afford them! If we plant a tree ... does that count? No more grass cutting?

globepolitics Wonder if any voters will notice? 😎
globepolitics Which is a loser. Canadians 40 and under want action on climate change. They are prepared to be taxed for it. The Tories are picking a stinker of a hill to die on. They should be focusing on spending and the economy. cdnpoli
