The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to cancel his planned Sept. 8 fuel tax hike after gasoline prices rose 25.7 per cent in July compared to last year, according to Statistics Canada.
“Prices at the pump are still sky-high and Canadians can’t afford for Carney to make trips to the gas station more expensive in September,” said Gage Haubrich, CTF Prairie Director. “The federal government shouldn’t be making painfully high gas prices worse by charging taxes on top.”
