Gas Prices, Need for Blood Donations, and Alcohol Taxes

New Year, same gas price woes! With prices at the pump jumping by up to 20-cents per litre in the province over the past week, it begs the question: are Albertans being ‘gouged’ when it comes to gas prices? We discuss the topic with Dan McTeague, President of “Canadians for Affordable Energy”. It’s time to roll-up your sleeves and pitch-in! We hear details on the urgent need for blood donations right now in the city and how you can take part in a ‘friendly’ challenge to support donations between Alberta’s biggest cities. Sky-high inflation, climbing interest rates and carbon tax hikes, now you can add your favourite bottle of wine, or case of craft beer to the list of ‘things that will soon cost more’. We discuss the upcoming Federal tax increase on booze, with Franco Terrazzano, Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
