Every time the price of gas goes up at the pump, the government's GST take on gas also goes up. Even worse, the government also charges the GST on federal and provincial gas taxes. In other words, it gouges drivers by taxing the tax.
How can the government justify taxing the tax on gas when Canadians are paying record high prices at the pumps?
