Gas prices are more like 25% higher in Canada, mainly due to taxes. According to the gasprices.com averages, a gallon of regular gasoline averages about $2.87 per gallon here and $0.96 (C$1.07) per liter in Canada. 1 gallon is 3.785 liters. So gas in Canada averages about $3.63 per gallon. Of course, gas prices are higher in some provinces (usually in Atlantic Canada) than others due to mainly to taxes, just like gas prices vary per state for the same reason.
This new carbon tax will make Quebec less competitive with the rest of Canada and the U.S. Of course it will be passed along to consumers. The tax is a dumb idea.
