The most obvious increase in store for taxpayers in 2025 are the threatened hikes to Canada’s contentious federal carbon tax, which as of April Fools Day increases from $80 per tonne to $95 per tonne.

That will put the cost of carbon at 21 cents per litre for gasoline, 25 cents per litre for diesel, and 18 cents per cubic metre of natural gas.

Despite the federal government’s claims that the carbon tax will be revenue neutral and give families more back in rebates than it paid, Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) Yves Giroux issued reports showing that isn’t the case.

Federal excise taxes on alcohol, which already make up roughly half of the cost of beer, wine and spirits, will increase by 2% as of April 1, etc…

Why have a tax in the first place if they are just going to hire a bunch of bureaucraps to give it back? The only thing I can see is that some low income will get more back than they paid, making it a wealth redistribution scam, not a tax.
