SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 26, 2023 | SaltWireOTTAWA – Facing bad political headwinds in Atlantic Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced plans to reduce the financial impact of his carbon tax Thursday, temporarily removing the tax from home heating oil and boosting rebates for rural residents.
“The highest proportion of people with home heating oil across the country are in Atlantic Canada and that’s why this hit them particularly hard as the provincial pricing systems were replaced by the federal pricing system,” he said. Liberal MP Ken McDonald, from Newfoundland and Labrador, has twice voted with the Conservatives on anti carbon tax motions.
Trudeau insisted Thursday that overall the carbon tax remains a key policy for the government and is essential to fighting climate change. Trudeau said the programs would make a heat pump effectively free for people who make below the median income and people who install them would save thousands on their energy bill every year.
