Abacus Data surveyed 1,000 Quebecers and asked the following question: “For an average Quebecer who drives a gas car or light truck, how much (on average) do you think the carbon price costs them each week? According to StatCan, Quebecers drive an average of approximately 15,000km per year“.

Only 11% of Quebecers had a fairly accurate idea of the real cost: less than $2.

Once informed about the real price of carbon on the price of petrol, there was twice as much support as opposition from Quebecers in favour of carbon pricing to help combat climate change and air pollution.
