Saskatchewan is readying for another increase of the federal carbon tax. Residents took their last chance to fill their tanks Sunday before the 23 per cent tax increase on Monday.
“They give a rebate but it does not equate to what [I] burn in fuel,” said one resident CTV News spoke to.
“It’s a tax grab.”
According to Canadians for Affordable Energy (CAE), the hike will amount to about an additional four cents per litre for regular unleaded gas in Saskatchewan.
Making the total at the pumps 17 cents per litre.
That increase is less than what the rest of the country could see Monday.
CAE estimated Ontario and B.C. will see a six cent per litre hike. While Alta. could see eight cents as the province also ends its fuel tax holiday.
