Carbon Tax Surprise!

Wednesday afternoon, July 2nd, I got a life-time surprise (ok, I’m exaggerating a little here). My landlord ringed the bell of my door and asked my permission to get in and take measurements of all our windows: we are going to get brand new, energy efficient windows! I never thought that my landlord will make any investment in my apartment: he still fix the toilet with gift wrapping tape. But one day after the carbon tax started, my landlord is taking action to save some money on their natural gas bill. I’m really impressed, but hope my rent won’t increase too much in the fall…
