canadian flag carbon tax

As of April 1st, 2019, it’s no longer free to pollute in Canada. This comes after 2 years of the prime minister, Justin Trudeau - who cited international commitments to fight global warming - making it clear he would slap the tax on any of the 10 provinces that did not come up with their own plans by April 1st.

Spring is slowly showing its face and aside from the drivers who couldn’t wait for the snow and mud to go away, their cars must be ecstatic as well. They’d tell you so themselves - IF they could talk. A little more time and gone will be the dangers of cold weather - corrosion, tire pressure fluctuation, dead battery, thickening fluids, wiper malfunction, leakage and increased fuel consumption.

No one wants to throw money away, and whether or not you will do that with car purchase is up to you and your negotiation skills and the amount of preparation you’ve invested prior to buying a car.
