we got a carbon tax on gas starting today, 2.4 cents extra for gas. $100 is supposed to cover the extra money you pay plus other tax reductions are supposed to offset the 2.4 cent tax. No one is happy about it and the government is ignoring everyone as usual
I went to see one of those big, free fireworks displays (to anyone familiar with Toronto, Mel Lastman Square!). It was... uh... crowded. And the fireworks were short and put to songs like Avril Lavigne--Girlfriend. All in all... at least things went boom and sparkled.
It's called a "bribe" really...its kind of on the same level of bullshitness as "Earth Day", and sold under the pretext of cutting back C02....even though though they never really had a plan for that either.
...Just another way for the govt to jam its big white and red cock up the tax payers ass while the "refugees" get to collect the benefits.
