Stupidity in action.
How does she think this is going to end for her? The government receives its tax remittance from the propane company regardless if what the end customer pays. the only people she’s short changing is the propane company who will apply late fees, interest, collection charges and eventually shut off her service and take her to small claims court where they will win decisively and she’ll have paid several times the cost of the carbon tax.
Stupidity =/= courage
I admire their form of peaceful protest, but here at Alberta Treasury Board and Finance, we have a long history with people (Freemen) who decide they don't want to pay tax. Tax isn't optional.
When their vehicle is leined, or there is legal action taken to repossess their home and sell it for back taxes . . .they will pay tax.
