Mark, are you really that naïve?  Do you actually think that they will put a flat tax increase at the till?  Nope.  It will NEVER HAPPEN.

The tax will be placed on fuels purchased inside of Canada.

This will then result in a markup for every single product produced in Canada because it costs more to produce, transport and store our products.  The energy to run the factory will cost more, the transportation fuel cost will increase, the costs to heat/cool the warehouses will increase.  

The oil and Nat Gas that gets IMPORTED into Canada won't have any markup on the extraction and transportation side as these are being paid for outside of Canada.  It will then get imported at a lower cost compared to Canadian Nat Gas and Crude oil which did have the carbon tax applied to the extraction and transportation.  It will then get sold to consumers for the same price as the Canadian product which will increase profits for the distributor at the expense of the consumer.
