Today is your day Boomer! A couple of "must do" things for Boomers this Easter weekend: spend lots of time with family, have a big celebratory dinner, if religious...attend church, recreate outside, eat some chocolate, and fill-up your gas-guzzler vehicles. The infamous Carbon Tax kicks-in a new rate on Monday, April 1 and this means a gas increase of about 15 cents/litre! This tax came into effect at $20 per ton in 2019. It has steadily climbed in the years since and is scheduled to rise from $65 per ton to $80 on April 1. It is scheduled to go up another $15 each year until 2030, when it reaches $170 a ton. That is unless the Liberals get voted out of office and another party cancels it. It is causing much debate in our nation. For me....it means filling up two vehicles, a boat, and an extra gas can for my lawnmower sometime this weekend. By the way, "summer" gas is more expensive than winter fuel....so we can expect more price increases in the next few months. Boomers, with hybrid or electric cars, are probably smerking a little right now....
