The Science of Beer | SaltWire #beer #science #craftbeer #soundbites #discoverycentre #foodanddrinkOTTAWA — A House of Commons debate Thursday featured the nightmare story of a 10-day, non-stop summer road trip as Liberals and the Conservatives argued over how much money families could save with a vacation-season holiday from gas taxes.

But the Conservatives came to their figure a different way, using not just the cost of filling up, but all the other ways the carbon tax impacts Canadians wallets.
