The carbon tax must be making Manitoba truckers feel like they're getting pulled over and fined, even though they're just doing their jobs, while corporate-types race by and get a friendly wave from government.
The unfairness of a carbon tax is becoming clear. Families are wondering why they'll be punished for filling up their run-of-the-mill minivans when hybrid equivalents are unaffordable at twice the price. Small businesses are wondering why they'll be pushed for heating with natural gas when Manitoba Hydro's electricity rates are rising indefinitely. But truckers provide a particularly poignant example of unfairness.
