Ontario Superior Court has struck down Premier Ford`s mandatory anti-gas tax stickers.
The ruling says the labels are an unconstitutional attempt to legislate private retailers to ‘stick it to’ another tier of government.

The province brought in the stickers last year after Ottawa imposed a carbon tax in Ontario and three other provinces.
