Explore stories from Atlantic Canada.
But that won’t help about 60 per cent of Atlantic Canadians who heat their homes with something else.Here’s the good news: those Atlantic MPs can stand up for their constituents and vote to take the carbon tax off all home heating bills. That motion is coming up in the House of Commons on Monday.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just announced his government is suspending the carbon tax on home heating oil for three years.
Meanwhile, Trudeau is refusing to exempt cleaner home heating methods, such as natural gas, from the carbon tax. The government is hoping that taxpayers in Atlantic Canada can be bought off by temporarily taking the carbon tax off home heating oil. Farmers are still paying carbon taxes on the natural gas and propane they use to warm their barns and dry their crops. That makes milk and eggs more expensive. And truckers still need to pay the carbon tax on diesel when they’re bringing that food to the grocery store. The federal carbon tax makes farming and trucking more expensive and that makes food more expensive.
