Canadians Demand Fuel Tax Stay Off Pump | Calgary News

Canadians are rallying to keep the federal fuel tax holiday alive past Labour Day, with Conservatives and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation pushing for an extension—and even a full GST elimination on gas and diesel—to save drivers up to 25 cents per litre. They argue that with high living costs still biting, now’s not the time to reinstate taxes, especially as new polling shows over 70% of voters oppose bringing them back. The CTF also calls on Alberta to scrap its own fuel tax instead of offering inaccessible rebates, highlighting that nearly 27 cents per litre goes toward taxes—adding up to $20 for a minivan fill-up and nearly $30 for a pickup.
