Eco 'fees' discussed in the Windsor Star

Eco 'fees': "On July 1, Ontarians began paying an eco 'fee' on thousands of products, all in the name of helping the environment. But don't be fooled. This is just another expansion of the provincial tax base, one that apparently never stops as far as the Dalton McGuinty government is concerned.
So, in addition to the impact of the new 13-per-cent HST, Ontarians can now expect to pay a few cents or a few dollars more on products like hairspray that are sold in aerosol containers, syringes and needles, prescription medicine, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, fire extinguishers, rechargeable batteries, dish detergent, smoke alarms and the list goes on and on.
This is essentially Round 2 of a program run by Stewardship Ontario -- a government-regulated body -- to dispose of and recycle hazardous materials. The first items to be taxed two years ago included paint, computers and TVs.
Conveniently for the McGuinty government -- already reeling from the imposition of the HST -- there was no significant mention of the expanded eco tax until after it was instituted."
