Alberta’s rise in the industrial carbon tax will impact almost everything

The Alberta director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation believes almost everything you and I purchase will be impacted by a newly-agreed-to industrial carbon price for our province.

Kris Sims adds the old consumer carbon tax displayed the added charges on things like home heating bills; the new levy, she says, won’t be quite so clear, and it’ll be wide-reaching.

“Unfortunately, it means the cost of everything will now be higher, once the carbon tax goes higher,” Sims warns.

“So, the bad part about the industrial carbon tax is two-fold — one, it’s really high and applies to everything, but two, it’s hidden.”
