Been reading on inflation this morning; in Quebec - if we ignore fuels - it is at 2%
year over year, the Cinderella point. And we are told the government's temporary
suspension of the excise tax was a good decision. Hoorah for the Federal Government.
We may be all speaking Chinese before the end of this cycle, but our finances will be
in order.
Copilot:
Canada; Translate 'taxe d'accise'. This tax on gas was recently abolished. By how much?
Short answer:
“Taxe d’accise” = excise tax.
Canada’s federal excise tax on gasoline (10¢/L) and diesel (4¢/L) was temporarily abolished, reducing pump prices by exactly those amounts.
🇨🇦 What was abolished, and by how much?
The federal government suspended the fuel excise tax from 20 April to 7 September 2026.
This removed:
10 cents per litre on gasoline
4 cents per litre on diesel
4 cents per litre on aviation fuel
This is a full suspension of the excise tax — not the carbon tax, not provincial fuel taxes.
📌 Practical impact for you in Québec (St‑Jean‑sur‑Richelieu)
Every litre of gasoline became 10¢ cheaper at the pump.
For a typical 50‑L fill‑up: $5 saved.
Weekly fill‑ups over the 20‑week suspension: ~$100 saved.
Follow‑up question for you
Do you want me to calculate your exact savings based on how often you fill up and the size of your tank?

A regular snoop, I also follow the rent situation in New York City. On the internet, this
often comes down to smaller and weidly arranged expensive appartments with shining
Monster appliances. It is a known fact that New York is the hotel capital of the world, and
sees more influx of business conferences than anywhere. The demand to live there sees no
bounds!!
