We don’t need a carbon tax to fight climate change. Our Made-in-Ontario Environment Plan will lower emissions, meet our provinces’ share of the federal governments targets and will do so without a carbon tax. We will continue to fight to make life more affordable for you.
Today's the last day to fill your gas tank before the federal carbon tax makes life more expensive for your family.
Starting April 1, gas will go up almost 4.5¢ /L, which will grow to 11¢ /L by 2022.
We'll keep fighting to stop this terrible tax with every tool at our disposal.
