Quick maths, assuming you've got a 60-litre tank, the extra cost is $2.70 a tank. The $307 rebate covers that family of four's extra costs for about *113 fill-ups a year.* That's more than two fill-ups a week, if you need 'em.
Premier Ford and Minister Phillips are deliberately misleading Canadians and spewing lies on Canada's price on pollution. It's completely irresponsible. While the price on pollution is 4.5c/litre at the pump, a family of four in Ontario will get $307 when they file their taxes.

Since the start, PMJT has *always* done open, unvetted, public events. On the campaign trail and during mandates. Without exception. I do not want to hear conspiracy theories. And I do not want to “understand the motivations” of these jackasses hounding him.
A loose network of COVID vaccine and lockdown protesters is using digital tools to make the federal election campaign one of the most vitriolic in recent memory, congregating in encrypted chats to track Trudeau's whereabouts and organize disruptions.
