Trudeau says there will 'absolutely not' be further carbon tax exemptions

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is standing firm that his government will not make any further exemptions to the carbon tax after announcing a three-year break on heating oil.

"There will absolutely not be any other carve-outs or suspensions of the price on pollution," Trudeau told reporters on his way into Tuesday's question period.

Last week, Trudeau announced that the government would exempt heating oil from the carbon tax for three years. He said the pause is meant to give Canadians who use oil to heat their homes more time to switch to other sources, such as electric heat pumps.

But the Liberals are facing increased political pressure from the Conservatives and some provincial premiers to exempt fuels like propane and natural gas from the tax.

Last week, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith called on Ottawa to apply the same exemption to natural gas, used by a majority of residents in their provinces for heating.

On Monday, Moe upped the ante by declaring that SaskEnergy — the provincial Crown corporation responsible for natural gas distribution — wouldn't collect the carbon tax starting in January if an exemption wasn't extended to other heating fuels.

"I cannot accept the federal government giving an affordability break to people in one part of Canada, but not here," Moe said in a video posted on X, formerly Twitter.

The official opposition, B.C. United, just came out swinging against the provincial carbon tax.

B.C. United Leader Kevin Falcon announced that if they form government, they will:

Permanently eliminate the provincial motor fuels tax which will save drivers 14.5 cents per litre of gasoline in most of B.C.,
Cancel future carbon tax hikes,
Remove the carbon tax from all home heating fuels, and
Remove the carbon tax from all fuels used on farms to bring down the cost of food.

I am all good with getting rid of a lot of these fuel/carbon tax BS.
Yes, he is trying to “buy votes”.
But, on another front, I guess it’s obvious that folks are feeling the pinch due to monetary policy, raising interest rates and trying to fight the inflation all the governments and corporations created.
Which means giving folks a break when they feel the punch means further raising if rates later, imo.
What I am saying folks, there’s no winning!
There is no soft landing coming!
Its going to hurt eventually.
Dont mean to be a prick or doom and gloom, but we got a rocky road ahead!
Just listened to a guy complaining in Rona about how much more his mortgage has become.
If fuel goes down, it will help.
But it’s going to be for all the wrong reasons.
Buying votes and major recession.
Houses around here are getting hard to sell now.
Big price drops starting to happen and LM is at the cusp of being a buyers market now!
Hold on!
