The case against a Cornwall man who removed a provincially mandated sticker decrying the federal carbon tax from a gas pump has been dropped.

Jesse Seguin, 36, was charged with criminal mischief in October after police alleged he removed an Ontario government-mandated sticker from a gas pump at a Cornwall gas station.

The “federal carbon tax transparency sticker”, which must be displayed on an easily visible place on every gas pump in Ontario outside of a First Nation, wasmandated by the Progressive Conservative government last August as a way to convince more Ontarians to oppose the federal carbon tax.

The federal tax was imposed on the province after the Ford government cancelled Ontario’s cap-and-trade program and refused to create a carbon tax of its own.

Seguin was arrested and released from custody with a court date in late November, but the charge was withdrawn by the Crown.
