Two-Price Gas Plan Seen as Unfair to Provinces
The Toronto Sun criticizes Premier Peter Lougheed’s proposed two price system for natural gas as discriminatory and possibly unconstitutional. It would raise basic prices for gas sold outside Alberta to attract industry, but warned it would hamper Canada’s internal trade, raise production costs, and worsen unemployment while possibly violating Confederation principles.

Reporter Finds Tax Form Easier Than It Appears
A television personality handles the income tax form with the Department’s step by step guide. The reporter, paid mostly in salary, spends about 90 minutes mirroring last year’s routine, including pregame rummaging through drawers, a packing list, and a rude arithmetic reminder about percentages. The article notes blue guidance simplifies the process for salary income and flags parts of the booklet for child care expenses and 1972 capital gains rules. The writer ends with a light jab at arithmetic errors and the frustration of owing money this year.
