Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced his government will temporarily suspend the federal fuel excise tax on gas and diesel starting next week until Labour Day, amid a sharp increase in fuel prices due to the war in the Middle East.
The tax cut will begin on April 20 and is expected to save Canadians up to 10 cents per litre on gasoline and four cents per litre on diesel fuel, Carney said at an April 14 press conference, adding the excise tax on aviation fuels will also be removed.
“Today’s cut to the fuel excise tax is a responsible temporary measure consistent with what it takes to build a stronger economy, a more affordable economy, combined with sound fiscal management,” he said.

Master is kind to the serfs!

hey good on him on this one. it seems they're not talking about their big win much guess they want people to forget how they got it. Maybe people can learn how much gas prices really are just taxes. nah they will forget and blame big oil again.

Good move but also, it needs to be permanent but at least it's a good move.

This is the "carrot" and it's only temporary (which tells me this tax was never needed, it's just there to keep you poorer and in your place). The purpose of the temporary suspension is to distract you.

I'm sure with his illegitimate majority he has far more sinister things coming your way.

I can support this…temporary, but money back in my pocket and less to government coffers to be torched.

4cents for diesel thanks pal you really opened up the freedom train. When is the Simpsons taking Mr burns back?

Lol for real

Fuckin retarded

 

[ayn_rands_ghost]

Diesel here is in the mid to high 2.60's depending on time of day so 4 cents will do nothing much.

Why is he waiting until Pot Day/ Hitlers Birthday to do this and not now?

 

[the_pamplemoose]

It gives the bought off media a week to circle jerk over it.

Okay now I will blame oil companies those fuckers are price gouging. Gas is average a dollar 75 in Calgary now and a fucking barrels under a hundred bucks.

Back in the late 80s I went to a Blue Jays game at the old Exhibition Stadium and at one point some (presumably wealthy) person in the skyboxes started folding five-dollar bills into paper airplanes and throwing them down onto the unwashed plebs in the stands. I can only imagine that he was feeling the same rush of condescending generosity that Carney is feeling now

I didn't know Carney was a Jays fan.
