Do we need another thread on the carbon tax?

Oh no - we have to pay an extra $100 on gas per year.
Imagine what it would cost if we had a PST like every other province? Even at 5%, which only SK has, that'd be $150 extra for your gas costs.

And if you remember, Jim Prentice was also going to raise fuel taxes (among others) by 4 cents.

So whether you call it a carbon tax or a fuel tax or a PST we're going to have to pay a bit more because we can't rely solely on oil & gas royalties.

Google says my car gets a city/highway combined avg of 10L/100km. And yes, L/100km is a dumb measurement.
