Chris Ragan on the end of Carbon Tax | CBC News
April 1, 2025 |聽Chris Ragan, explained that the end of carbon tax and how it will be affect Canadians in an news article at . Ragan says the drop in prices could be more gradual, though he agrees it is coming. "One of the less charming attributes of capitalism is that prices tend to fall more slowly than they rise," Ragan said. "So it might take a little while for that 17.6 cents to drop off the price." If gas prices dropped by 17.6 cents a litre as a result of the tax coming off, you'd save about $8.80 when filling a car with a standard 50-litre gas tank.聽The carbon tax policy was designed with the intention to give a rebate bigger than the cost lost at the pump or checkout counter for 80 per cent of Canadians, and he says those who were receiving the rebate might feel its absence.
