  4. The real scandal, given Canada is sitting on oceans of oil, is forking out roughly 4$US/gallon. Yes, the extra 5 cents for cap and scam is absurd, but realistically the difference is between $60 US and $63 US for a 15 gallon fill-up.
    Why in the name of all that is holy is gas priced in cents instead of $CAD ?

  6. the country is being screwed over by the liberals and other socialists. we are the dumbest people on the planet. there is nothing positive that can be said about stupid Canadians.

  7. Hey, people voted for it. Let them suffer. People wanted carbon tax, people want to protest pipelines. People have been sheltered from the consequences of their own decisions; we have a world populated by fools.

  8. And where is the outrage from Patrick Brown and the conservatives?
    Canada is a fake democracy …
    Trump may have to build a wall to keep Canadians out of the USA

  9. I sure hope that the provincial mileage claim rates go up. It would be a tragedy if higher gas prices somehow affected provincial employees who are required to use their own vehicles for government work. (yes /s)

  11. Jan.1st 2017 marks the date when Ontarian’s standard of living took a steep decline.
    Very sad. When will people wake up?

  12. The expected revenue Wine expects she will recieve is no doubt going to be used to offset the deficit.
    However, she seems to not understand the difference between disposable income and discretionary income.
    She fails to realize that things like gas and home heating are not negotiable items on a household budget and unlike government budgets cannot be augmented simply by borrowing or taxing more. The average shmo will adjust by not buying things they don’t need and subsequently not be paying the taxes government extracts from those purchases.
    Its the catch22 of GDP, beggar Peter to pay Paul and you gain nothing but more debt.

  13. Gasoline and Diesel are the new cigarettes. It’s bad for you and you will be taxed until you can no longer afford to use it (after that, everyone will be better off, you’ll see. Trust me.).
    But least you think Canada is the only place where taxes on these commodities are being raised, think again. Beginning 1/1/2017:
    “In Michigan, the gasoline tax of 19 cents a gallon increased by 7.3 cents and the diesel tax of 15 cents a gallon went up 11.3 cents, with automatic annual inflationary adjustments in 2022 and after. Vehicle registration fees increased 20 percent.” (I calculate that a 7.3 cent increase on gasoline is 38% and 11.3 cents on diesel is 75%).
    Gasoline is about $2.58/gallon (US$) now in Michigan…. still relatively cheap compared to the $4.00/gal cost a few years ago. (1 gallon = ~3.79 liters)
    For perspective:
    “Michigan now has the sixth-highest gas taxes in the country, up from 18th, according to an American Petroleum Institute analysis of rates in effect as of Nov. 1. Only Pennsylvania, Washington, Hawaii, New York and New Jersey rank higher. Taxes at the pump in Michigan total about 57.3 cents a gallon, including the 18.4-cent federal gas tax. Michigan’s rank can fluctuate with prices because it is among a small number of states to also apply the sales tax (6%)to gas. Diesel taxes are seventh-highest.”
    And no, this is not a “carbon” tax. It’s allegedly for ” road infrastructure”, i.e. pork.

  14. It would be a tragedy if higher gas prices somehow affected provincial employees who are required to use their own vehicles for government work.
    It would indeed be an irony here in Alberta with the carbon tax on everything. The Dippers are well known for buying some fancy-schmancy vehicles with all the bells and whistles one can imagine. Those purchases are justified with statements like the politicians in question need to drive in “comfort and safety” in order to do their jobs properly.
    Of course, when one is in charge of the province’s finances, it’s quite easy to dump those expenses onto the taxpayer.

  15. You’d be talking about Cadillac Socialists who never feel the pain they cause. In Ontario Madam Wynne, a true Madam the way her government is screwing the people, had no clue people had to choose between eating and paying hydro bills. However, Ontario is an example of getting the government you deserve, they reelect the same bunch repeatedly on the concept of “what’s in it for me”.

  16. Well, you got to admit that MI’s roads leave a lot to be desired. EG. I-94 from Pt. Huron to Detroit is like driving a stagecoach on a corduroy road. If the tax increase would go to road infrastructure it would be a good investment.

  17. That’s good, stupid people need to pay for their mistakes.
    It’s the same logic as a carbon tax, if you make carbon expensive people will use less of it, same with making stupidity more expensive, hopefully.

  18. In Ontario, look to the Wynne government to step in and offer rebates to those who can’t afford the increased cost of climate change. This will later require the government to increase its taxes in order to properly reimburse those who cannot afford the tax increases. This form of Ponzi scheme (increasing taxes and then reimbursing to compensate for the tax increase) should be illegal.

  19. “the province promises to spend the money on programs that reduce emissions and help businesses and consumers adapt to a low-carbon economy.”
    Right. The “green fee”(tax) Ont levies on every new tire accumulated so much revenue that the organization managing it decided to fund a wk-end retreat for employees, Liberal hangers-on and others. This outrage reported by TorStar no less. Ont collects a host of these taxes on everything from keyboards to TVs. Where the revenue goes is apt to be down some favourite Liberal rat hole, no one knows for sure.
    A bit satisfying to know that Liberal voters will see starkly just what “carbon is bad” policies will mean to their wallet. they may not own cars, but they do heat their apartments and presumably eat; everything in a consumer’s basket will be affected by this tax and soon. Waiting for the whining to start for special treatment for low-income, seniours etc etc. Let them pay Wynne had full voter support.
    But the worst news for Ont is that Brown supports this as well. Ont completely screwed.

  20. That’s good, stupid people need to pay for their mistakes.
    It’s the same logic as a carbon tax, if you make carbon expensive people will use less of it, same with making stupidity more expensive, hopefully.

  21. If the taxes collected actually solved the problems to which they are to be applied, then the citizenry would feel that they are getting good values for the personal losses.
    BUT… there is no way that ACC (anthropogenic climate change) is proven science, and Canada, as has been pointed out by many, is not the global leader in pollution – not even close (if you believe that CO2 is a pollutant). And the rest of the gasoline tax is applied to road work where the government is too stupid to test whether the materials being used are up to the specifications and then the roads need to be fixed after 5 years instead of 15. And then the government can’t even do proper financial analysis to understand the impact that their unicorn decisions have on the their tax base.

  22. There are Alberta border towns that will be decimated by the carbon tax.
    Leaving Saskatchewan heading west one would plan the trip to make it to Alberta to fuel up and save upwards of $.10/Lt and sometimes more. As well going east, you fill up at the last Alberta gas station before exiting the province.
    Today gas is cheaper in Saskatchewan for the first time that I can remember.
    Walsh, Alberta, is a little town on the border along the trans Canada. It has 2 gas stations on the highway. The Petro Canada station just completed major upgrades. No one will be stopping there now if they can make it to Maple Creek.
    There are real families and businesses affected by this tax while Notely just gives her condescending laugh.

  23. It’s a form of slavery, by keeping the little people “down” to work the plantation through ever increasing taxation.
    “Arbeit macht frei”
    “Work sets you free”

  24. Worked so well in BC that this winter has got to be one of the coldest I’ve experienced. Give it chance guys geez.

  25. Of course no one in the media party will be asking Wynne exactly how much her carbon tax will reduce global warming and decrease temperatures. Another Liberal scam.

  27. It should be illegal like fraud and bribery but this Liberal majority government is untouchable.

  28. “Hey, people voted for it.”
    Sorry Kevin people didn’t vote for it. Cap and Trade wasn’t part of any party’s platform including the Wynne Liberals during the last election.
    Another good reason for recall legislation.

  29. “Sorry Kevin people didn’t vote for it. Cap and Trade wasn’t part of any party’s platform including the Wynne Liberals ….”
    Just wondering. After their renewed commitments to the Green Energy Act, and the accelerating public debt, is there anyone with a %^$#*@g brain who thought they WOULDN’T introduce a carbon tax?

  30. Yes & “we” just voted in euthanasia, not being just fine with abortion on demand. Now euthanasia is “free”, for anyone.
    Watch provincial health care form bigger line ups & waiting periods, as they can’t finance what their one size fits all, Bolshevik health care claims. You’ll be offered euthanasia at some point to ease your suffering from lack of health care. Shazzam….Maurice Strong’s wish for “depopulation”, once the western economies are wrecked. Carbon taxes will do just that, in the end.

  31. I said virtually the same thing recently – the ONLY way some people will ever learn is the hard way – bring it on.

  33. @Gaylord Ponce:
    “Well, you got to admit that MI’s roads leave a lot to be desired. EG. I-94 from Pt. Huron to Detroit is like driving a stagecoach on a corduroy road.”
    Indeed Michigan’s roads do leave a lot to be desired. For about 2 years I kept an article on my desktop about the need to break up and remove a runway at the international airport that had only been constructed 1 year before. Reason? Faulty cement. Cost, over a million dollars. How could that happen and the contractor not be held responsible? Yet they weren’t.
    I-94 and I-75 are in constant need of repair. And I mean every single year some part is being rebuilt or patched and repaired. Why is that? And how is this different from the airport runway story. Properly build highways should last more than 5 years….4 x more at least. It’s an endless cycle of corruption and incompetence. And it’s even worse at the county and city levels.
    “If the tax increase would go to road infrastructure it would be a good investment.”
    That’s a big IF and also qualified by what I’ve said above.
    I’m pretty cynical about government and skeptical that this will result in better roads. And by the way, I’ve heard similar complaints in Canada.

  34. And, if people find themselves in the position in which they have to pay for either food or electricity, but not both, the government blames them for making “bad” choices.
    The only legitimate bad choice that was made was in electing those bozos in the first place.

  36. per Imp. gallon
    who measures anything in Imp. gallons ?
    the difference is between $60 US and $63 US for a 15 gallon fill-up.
    That difference pays for things like universal health care and the infrastructure to support the northern Territories.
    Hey, people voted for it. Let them suffer.
    That’s good, stupid people need to pay for their mistakes.
    Exactly !!! It will take something outrageous to get complacent Canadians pissed-off enough to turf the Lieberal Overlords.
    Taxing carbon to improve weather is like taxing stupidity to increase intelligence.
    It’s the TurdoTax, put the blame where it belongs.

  37. The problem I have with many of you who are declaring that we get what we deserve and we voted for it/them. The majority of us did not vote for this fiasco but being law abiding citizens we will suffer just as much as the nut-bars that did vote for the Liberals. This was forecast years ago by none other than Ms. May.

    She recognized that Canadians are stupid and we’re all going to whine and b*tch and moan about the current state of affairs but nobody will organize a national strike to bring these beggars to their knees and have parliament dissolved. A decimated infrastructure, armed forces that are a joke from what we once were, a health care system that is undergoing a complete meltdown, an immigration and refugee policy that has no intention of protecting what this country once was and now a ‘green’ tax that the imbeciles that we elected to run this country have instituted without a thought of the far reaching consequences, but it’s going to save the planet from a threat that is totally imagined. Yes Canadians are stupid, and if I could find another country that has more to offer I’d emigrate but as it is all I can do is rant like most of you until Canadians unite in a national strike, a strike across the country and across class borders. The mess we find ourselves in now will not be corrected with another election, as Trump has said the swamp has to be drained.

  38. Canadians voted for this. They can live with colder houses, higher grocery bills, no holidays, no birthdays for the kids and no medicine for older people.
    Surely they can pick money off of trees!

  39. Yep. A country being composed in increasingly larger proportions, of Lenin’s Useful Idiots. In Alberta the carbon tax came in on New Year’s Day and now the price is $1.10 at the pump. When the market prices ramp back up, as they most certainly will, we will be hit extra hard. This is all about income redistribution, vote-buying, and people expecting something from nothing, traveling under the lie “climate change”. 2019 can’t come soon enough for AB.

  40. Yes, there is going to have be a LOT of pain, spread VERY wide for a LOOONG time. It took the USSR what, 80 years to melt down? And with former KGB officer Putin in charge, can you really say it’s actually completely gone? The one thing you can say about the creed of ignorance and gospel of envy; it’s got staying power in spades. No failure, no famine, there is nothing that will put people off it.

  41. Never thought I’d see the day I wished I lived in Lloydminster.
    Drive across Main street and buy gas in Saskatchewan.

  42. Patrick Brown? The moron is for the carbon tax. He believes in AGW, and should read the William Happer article. Ontario people are really up the creek, one scam artist in power and another that wants to take her place.

  45. David in Michigan. I researched and calculated the taxes on gasoline in British Columbia and all the different taxes total
    36 cents per litre or $1.36 per US gallon, then factor in the weak Canadian buck and it is much higher.

  46. Ken: Yes he is, he is afraid to be against anything Liberals have dreamed up because the Toronto dailies would label him “extreme”. He hopes to become Ont’s next Premier with a slightly better hair cut than Wynne, but no drastic change to policies.
    As nomination contests ramp up for the coming election he is busy purging male contestants who might be “too conservative” for his party. Say nothing till the election and hope the polls for Wynne don’t ride above 14%, that is what Brown stands for.

  47. This is little more than jacking the GST back up to the 7½% the Lieberals need to fund their spending spree. However it’s the deceit, guile, hypocrisy, duplicity, fraud, and trickery of blaming it on “carbon” that pisses-me-off the most. The actual tax won’t effect me all that much, but the dishonesty certainly does.

  48. if people find themselves in the position in which they have to pay for either food or electricity you can be sure they’re not going to cut back on booze, smokes, lotto, or cell-phone minutes… no way… they will expect the government to increase their welfare payment.

  50. …Jan.1st 2017 marks the date when Ontarian’s standard of living took a steep decline.
    Very sad. When will people wake up?….
    Say What..?? Have you been sleeping for the past 9 years…?? It went to hell and a hand basket the day You all voted in that ultimate CRIMINAL: Dalton and his gang (Gerald Butts included)..
