I came across these two articles (1 and 2) today on the Globe and Mail’s website. The federal government is going to give low income households $250 to help with heating costs this winter since the prices of oil, gas, and electricity have all risen big time, partly due to the Gulf Coast hurricanes. But prices have been rising steadily for a while now and this policy, like that of the Nova Scotian government, implies that future cost increases might also be mitigated by such rebates.
