Ontario drivers could soon see government-mandated stickers about the price of the carbon tax on gas pumps across the province, as the Progressive Conservatives open a new front in their battle with Ottawa over the levy.
Monday in one of the near-daily events the Ontario government has held to slam the tax since it was imposed one week ago.
"The Ford government will be spending taxpayers' dollars on stickers that intentionally mislead Ontarians about our plan, and do not include the amount of money that people are getting back, or the cost of inaction on climate change," she said in a statement. Ontario is one of four provinces, including Manitoba, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, where Ottawa imposed the levy because they opted not to impose their own pricing schemes on carbon emissions.
Greenpeace Canada said it would challenge the Ontario government's stickers under the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards.
