Affordable energy has historically been a Canadian advantage. Canada’s energy resources are an integral part of our economy’s overall competitiveness. Affordable energy is a benefit because it fuels the daily life of Canadians and so much other economic activity, especially in Canada’s industrial sectors.
But today, most Canadian governments are actively working to make energy more expensive by imposing rising levies on fossil fuels with direct carbon dioxide emissions taxes and indirect cap-and-trade schemes, but also new de facto taxes, like the proposed clean fuel standard.
