How much is the Liberal Green shift?
In actually, very little, for now. The only industries it will hurt are the polluting industries. All the rest of us, they are cutting income taxes quiet a bit.

The average Canadian household using natural gas purchases approximately 3,000-3,500 m3 of natural gas each year. The Green Shift, in year one, will increase the cost of natural gas for that household from $57 to $66.50 per year or $4.75-$5.54 per month. In year four, the Green Shift will increase costs from $228 to $266 per year or from $19 to $22.16 per month.
The Green Shift will not be applied to diesel until the second year, but will implement a pollution tax on diesel rising to seven cents per litre by year four. By the end of year four, the Green Shift will have increased the average freight trucker’s total annual operating expenses by less than one per cent or approximately $1,700 per year.
There will be no increase in the gas tax at the pump [for 4 years]. Since gas at the pump is already taxed at 10 cents per litre, which is equivalent to $42 per tonne of greenhouse gas emissions, there will be no increase in the tax on gas over the mandate of a new Liberal government.

For your BBQ, in year one the Green Shift will increase the cost of filling your typical 20 lb. propane tank by 24 cents. By year four, the Green Shift will have increased the cost of filling your tank by 95 cents.

The average Canadian household using home heating oil purchases approximately 1800 litres per year. The Green Shift, in year one, will increase the cost of home heating oil for that household by $50 per year or $4.20 per month. In year four, the Green Shift will increase costs by $203 per year or $16.95 per month.
