Canadians Want Gas Tax Cut Permanent | Toronto News

from Toronto News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Gas prices are still hurting Canadians, even with the 10-cent-per-litre federal tax break that’s been paused since April — and now 63% of voters want it made permanent. A new Leger poll shows overwhelming opposition to reinstating the tax, with only 17% okay with it returning. The government framed the cut as affordability relief amid rising costs, but many still feel the squeeze. Meanwhile, the opposition Conservatives are pushing further — calling for eliminating GST on gas and diesel plus scrapping Clean Fuel Regulations, claiming average families could save up to $500 annually. Public sentiment is clear: keep fuel cheaper, and do it for good. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
