Default carbon tax on my gas bill.

Have you checked your Jan. heating bill? My shop, which is only a storage place
cost me $61.00 for 30 days. Plus the GST on the carbon tax. My total bill with all the BS charges was over $300.00
How did we ever elect these idiots.

It is not a Carbon Tax, it is a Carbon Levy. Know why? Because it is illegal to to charge GST on another tax, but they can tax a levy until the cows come home. Moving forward, you can expect it to get worse.

My house is 1558’ on the main floor and my shop is 2400’. This is the first time I have ever had a gas bill over $300.00.

in a country this cold it is as cruel to tax heating fuel as it is to tax food. For shame ndp!

You heat 6000 sq ft of space for $300 and are complaining? You’re not living in Texas, man. This was a cold winter with few warm spells. You don’t think that factored in?

The "BS charges" that tend to make up the majority of your bill are so the company can make significant profit for their shareholders. Thank Ralph Klein for that part of your bill.
