FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: TRUDEAU GIVETH , TRUDEAU TAKETH AWAY! CARBON TAX HIKE TAKES FROM GROCERY REBATE!

IN THE RECENT 2023 FEDERAL BUDGET , IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT LOW INCOME FAMILIES THAT ARE ELEGIBLE FOR THE GST GET THE $ 200 OR SO ONE TIME REBATE, KNOWN AS THE GROCERY REBATE. THIS IS A GREAT THING BUT I THINK IT DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS . WITH PRICES FOR EVERYTHING SOARING IT IS A TINY BANDAID ON A HUGE CUT. NOW THIS WEEKEND THE PRICE OF GAS RISES TODAY BY 4 CENTS THEN ANOTHER 4 OR 5 CENTS AS OF TOMORROW WHICH WILL EAT INTO THE REBATE CHEQUES HE WILL BE HANDING OUT. THE CARBON TAX AS OF SATURDAY IS BEING HIKED BY THE SAME FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT HAS RECENTLY SAID MANY TIMES THAT CANADIANS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME MAKING ENDS MEET! MORE HAS TO BE DONE, CANADIANS HAVE EXTENDED THEMSELVES BECAUSE INCOME ISN'T ENOUGH TO PAY THE HIGH COST OF TRANSPORTATION, RENT AND GROCERIES AS WELL AS CLOTHING! HOPEFULLY INFLATION WILL SETTLE DOWN AND WE CAN ONCE AGAIN FIND LIFE A BIT MORE AFFORDABLE!
