You are mistaken. That’s 17 cents a litre and that equals about $17 for 100 litres. Let’s not forget it’s about 19 a litre on of diesel and 15 per cubic meter of natural gas and then GST or HST is charged on top that. You are definitely something
@brent_whiteside
Multiply that by every employee of every part of the economy just to feed the workforce... then rail it up to refining, production and delivery.
Math shows everything gets waaaayyyy more expensive.
(Then, there's heating)
@Dreadnaugh75872
Let's not mention the gas tax and your sky high utility bill without that carbon tax.... no we don't want to go there, it would totally blow our axethetax bullshit.
@brent_whiteside
Just another 3cents/L for the farmer to plow the fields
Just another 3cent to plant the crops
Just another 3cents to harvest the crops
Just another 3cents to dry the crops
Just another 3cents to transport to food terminal
Just another 3cent to transport to distribution
Just…

So, currently, carbon tax at 17 cents/ltr the total increase according to your math would be $17.00 on 100 dollars worth of groceries. For the average family who spends $1000 a month on groceries, that's $2040.00 a year more than it would be without carbon tax.
@brent_whiteside
It’s 23% don’t you know that? What’s wrong with you people!
Price of fuel went up 15 cents a litre before April 1st that’s okay cause it goes into O&G buddies pockets! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♀️
@brent_whiteside
Add all the other costs,
Transportation of food
Farmer cost growing food
Processing food
Stores selling food , energy cost
It never ends
@dancol61
Let's just concentrate on the carbon tax because peepee has you so brain drained that you don't even think about all the other taxes you already pay.
@brent_whiteside
So .17 cents a liter, correct? That semi truck that brings those goods to the market will now pay $170 extra per 1000 litres, correct? How many litres does a semi use in a month?
