It seems to me you're just upset that this carbon tax is going to cost people real dollars, and you don't like the fact that it is being made public. Would you prefer that the additional cost be passed on to the consumer, but not communicated where the increase came from, or that there was even an increase at all? I choose transparency over blissful ignorance, every time.

Fuel costs have been fluctuating all the time. Just few days ago gas went up by 12 cents, 3x the rate of the CT.
This has nothing to do with transparency. Airlines and others add fuel surcharges at times of
extreme cost increases. 4 cents a litre increase in times where were see 10 cent fluctuations daily is nothing. It's an excuse to gauge.
Today gas is 95c. Next month it may be 75c + 4 for the CT. Who is better off?
Wonder if similar announcement went out when gas prices dropped to 70c some months ago....would be shocked if there was one or a discount in prices.
