Canadians from coast to coast will take to the streets for multiple protests on April 1 to show opposition to a planned 23% increase in the federal carbon tax that takes effect the same day.

“This is a peaceful event aimed at uniting Canadians for a common cause & We will be holding the line indefinitely until our mission objective is achieved. Join us in this steadfast commitment to ensure our voices are heard and our goals are realized. Together, we stand for change,” the group Hold the Line – Nationwide Protest Against the Carbon Tax Administration stated on its website.
