Canadians are opening their home heating bills with a sense of dread this month .

The Canadians Taxpayers Federation asked people to post pictures of their bills to show their real cost of the carbon tax.

Most of the residential bills sent in from cities and suburbs across Canada show a carbon tax punishment costing more than $50 extra per month.

Alberta 's carbon tax is doing serious damage to folks who are trying to afford to live in one of the most expensive places on the planet.

Josh told the CTF he “sees right through” the Liberal government’s assurance that Canadians “get more back than they pay out” in the carbon tax.
