.... So do you think if the companies would need to pay the tax, they wouldn't just transfer the cost onto you? What would this solution make better?
Exactly. Offer a better option or accept reality. We're all in this together, how about we don't shit the bed.
If you want to blame someone, look at the biggest polluters... wealthy people with extravagant luxury making decisions for their bottom line that hurt the rest of us.
Maybe, I'm honestly not sure what the right answer is, just that this does nothing but hurt Canadians already struggling. It won't slow the use of gasoline in the slightest.
But really, I never expect anything to be done for the people. Aside from a select lucky few, the world is set against us from the day we're born.
