Tax Cow Farts, Not Gas!

Here's a list of federal and provincial taxes on gas.

So, my question is, if free markets are supposedly what works best for everyone, why tax gas? The provinces get royalties for natural resources, so they already get their cut, right off the top. Why not tax milk? How about taxing eggs?

Sin taxes are supposedly there to stop us from indulging in booze and cigarettes, still why are they allowed? Shouldn't the tobacco growers be allowed free trade just like milk producers?

Who decided that gas should be taxed? Everyone from the refineries to the government are making money on gas, except the consumer. Now, we hear from the Liberals about a carbon tax? Hello, you are already taxing the oil and gas industry, go tax cows, they release more methane gas than any oil sands development.

That's it, governments are missing a huge opportunity here, tax cow farts!
