REGINA – The Saskatchewan government says its natural gas utility is to stop collecting the carbon levy as of Monday from residential customers. The move comes after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exempted those who use home heating oil from paying the levy, mostly benefiting residents in Atlantic Canada. Saskatchewan asked for the exemption to cover all other forms of heating, but Ottawa denied the request. In response, the province said it would stop collecting the charge at the start of 2024. Dustin Duncan, now the minister responsible for SaskEnergy, speaks at the Legislative Building in Regina, Tuesday, Aug. 22, 2023. […]
Duncan is always the guy they bring in to do the high-publicity bidding of the sask-party, and be hated by the public.
He was the environment minister, then he was moved to Education to downplay the need for covid protection and to bully trans kids, now he’s forcing Saskenergy to break federal law.
I doubt he’s going to be hated by the public with this move. $400 in each person’s pocket with not having to pay carbon tax.
