The price change on April 1 affects the consumer levy, which applies in every province and territory except British Columbia, Quebec and Northwest Territories.

Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver to announce a "renters bill of rights" and other pro-affordability measures. But the details are decidedly underwhelming — and might just end up adding insult to the considerable injuries renters have endured.
