However, if the goal of a carbon tax is to deter people from using fossil fuels, knowing exactly how gas prices are calculated may be a good thing. In that case, the decals don’t go far enough. The provincial government’s gas pump stickers say the new federal carbon tax costs 4.4 cents per litre, which will rise to 11 cents per litre by 2022. They have been criticized for failing to mention the rebate for the average is about $300, rising to $718 by 2022. Those tax breaks are being subsidized by industrial polluters. It is all part of a standard set emissions by 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030, as set out under the Paris Agreement. Gas prices have always been a mystery.

So, if someone were to drive an economical car LETTERS an average of 20,000 km per year, spending about $1,680 in fuel for one year, that means an extra $61 in carbon tax.

Over three years, since moving to the home, sculptor Marion Bartlett has created more than 20 pieces which line a winding trail through the three acre wood she owns with her partner Rick Bino. Bartlett works in the art studio above the garage, where her pottery and Bino’s woodworking are sold. Bartlett also works in wood, concrete, bronze and other materials. The pieces in the sculpture forest are large and playful – a suspended fish swimming amongst the trees, a man slumbering under a turf blanket and a fairy watching from above. Bartlett’s newest creation named Joy is a larger than life woman moving jubilantly through the woods, arms outstretched. The seven-foot woman is carved out of high density Styrofoam and covered in concrete.
