On Saturday, the four provinces will move to the federal carbon\u002Dpricing system, creating a double cost whammy for consumers at the gas pump

Newfoundland and Labrador, which had been the only province exempt from regulations requiring gas to be blended with biofuels, is threatening to go to the courts.Article content
