Ontario gas stations could be fined $10,000 a day for missing anti-carbon-tax stickers


Buried in Ontario's budget bill are fines of up to $10,000 per day for gas station operators who don't display government-mandated stickers about the price of the carbon tax. The budget contains a new piece of legislation called the Federal Carbon Tax Transparency Act that would require gas stations to display the sticker on each pump. The sticker shows the federal carbon tax adding 4.4 cents per litre to the price of gas now, rising to 11 cents a litre in 2022. The carbon tax is expected cost to a typical household $258 this year and $648 by 2022. Ontario is challenging the carbon tax in court next week.
