Unconstitutional New Tax In the Name of Global Warming

[EV_man]

A $53.7 million “fee” imposed on electricity users to support green energy programs in Ontario is not just expensive, it’s illegal, says a study prepared for the C.D. Howe Institute.  That’s because the fee is really a tax, says the study. And taxes must be approved by the Legislature.  “Almost any economist would say it’s an indirect tax,” says Finn Poschmann of C.D. Howe, who co-authored the study with University of Toronto law professor Benjamin Alarie.

Another hand in our pockets. I'm sure at one time they will be confiscating our paychecks!

Just another sketchy way for them to take our money! If they keep taxing or having "fees" they are going to cause people to go homeless!
