‘Trudeau is giving Quebec a special deal on carbon taxes and giving other Canadians higher gas prices and heating bills,’ said Franco Terrazzano, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Ottawa’s ‘unfair’ carbon tax regime continues to face pushback after its critics learned of Québec’s “special deal.”

Although Parliament committed to a carbon tax “at a similar level of stringency” across the country, Québec will only pay $97 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2030. In contrast, the rest of Canada will incur $170 per tonne of carbon emissions.

After the annual April 1 tax hike this year, all provinces except Québec pay $80 per tonne. La belle province only pays $57 per tonne as part of its cap-and-trade tax.

“Trudeau is giving Québec a special deal on carbon taxes and giving other Canadians higher gas prices and heating bills,”

The Trudeau Liberals came up with an “arbitrary” carve out from the carbon tax for “areas where people tend to vote Liberal,” Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tells Rebel reporter Alex Dhaliwal. “It’s not a great way to pass policy,” she adds.
