Premiers of Saskatchewan and Alberta ask for extension of carbon tax exemption
Scott Moe and Danielle Smith say the exemption should also be applied to natural gas, as the majority of people in their provinces use it to heat their homes.

But they told me natural gas was reducing carbon emissions in the world...
Go fuck yourself Alberta. Leave that shit in the ground.
Both natural gas and heating oil contribute co2 emissions. One just got a carbon tax exemption for some reason. Not sure what your blind hatred for Alberta has to do with inconsistently applied carbon tax rules.
While I don't agree with their reaction. In spite of the inconsistency, I see this as still accomplishing the goal. Part of the rationale behind the carbon tax is incentivizing a move away from CO2 emitting sources through cost. The high cost of heating oil even without the tax could be argued as incentive enough. Whether it was a move simply meant to "buy" votes in Atlantic Canada and whether the exemptions was a good move anyway... Don't know.
Fucking blue provinces. I wish they'd open a book one day.
