Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is giving Quebec a special deal on the carbon tax. The math is
simple: Trudeau is forcing drivers in every other province and territory to pay 14 cents per litre
of gas in carbon taxes, while Quebecers pay 10 cents per litre. The solution is also simple:
Trudeau should scrap his carbon taxes and make life more affordable for all Canadians.
We break down everything you need to know about the carbon tax, including Quebec’s special
deal.
