You know it if you've been to the grocery store or the gas pump lately. Inflation is having a big impact on the cost of living with the Consumer Price Index and food prices increasing by more than they have in decades. While the price of gas and diesel may have stabilized slightly, they are still at historic highs. And so far, the Nova Scotia Government has rejected calls for a reduction in motive fuel taxes. There's also the issue of the tax-on-tax when you add the cost of HST to your purchase. Brendan Maguire is the Liberal MLA for Halifax Atlantic. He's hoping the Progressive Conservatives follow the examples of provinces like Newfoundland and Labrador and Alberta where they have introduced temporary tax relief at the pumps. And he says all politicians in all parties need to do a better job of following through when they move from opposition to government.
