Stealth taxes and carbon levies

There has been much hullabaloo lately about carbon levies.

Some people are calling Canada's attempt to clean up our world and mitigate climate change a cash grab by whatever level of government (provincial or federal) it's initiated.

Here are two amounts on my latest Direct Energy (residential gas bill).

Carbon Levy $4.46: Reasonable
Town of Cochrane access fee $5.51: Unreasonable

Yes folks - the Town of Cochrane rakes in this tax from you by stealth every month via both your gas and electricity bills.

Now that is a cash grab.

Yours truly in anger,

S. Leete
