The main stream media being given huge amounts of taxpayer money by the lib/NDP coalition has been doing a fine job for them of brainwashing everyone into becoming supposedly greener by having a carbon tax.
This all stems from faked data by so called climate scientists using the techniques of denying their corruption and isolating anyone who points out flaws in their theories. They made it politically incorrect to point out that the carbon tax is an emperor with no clothes or substance.
It has been a damn fine job done by those promoting it. That inconvenient movie brainwashing everyone into believing the sky was falling allowed the maker to set up the carbon trading system and as I understand, take a cut of every transaction.
The whole thing is a giant scam money transfer from the majority to the few. It costs the world big time. Just stop listening to the media which is feeding you these false facts about climate change.
When the pendulum of public opinion swings back, those who want eco this and that better get out of the way because it will be moving fast.
Someone tell me if I have this correct. RE; carbon tax
If you believe the gov't, most Canadians receive back from the Government what they pay in Carbon Tax. Of coarse there is a large bureaucracy collecting and distributing the money and that costs us all millions. Is that not just wasted money. What is the point from a purely financial perspective, unless it is to keep government bureaucrats employed. Of course till they receive a rebate it is the government and not the public that has the benefit of the money, and the use of it.
If the point is to dissuade Canadians from using carbon emitting products. Then you would hope there are plethora of cheaper viable options for Canadians to use. Is this the case? Home heating fuel? Yes there are options but many require a serious retrofit and cost thousands. The replacement systems have there own costs and maintenance costs and availability is an issue. Do you want a heat pump when it uses electricity generated by burning fossil fuels, or solar panels that don't work in a sun starved winter environment. What are the economically valid options?
Do you want an electric vehicle when your current gas burner has years of life left in it. Seems to violate an ethic of conservation all by itself. Are you to throw away a well maintained product for one that is not as convenient to fill, er, charge up(takes a lot longer) do you pay to install a charger at your home...Costs you more. The vehicle needs more charge ups than a gas vehicle, and you end up not being able to drive off into the out back or rural areas because there are no chargers in the bush, but you can carry a jerry can. Also the electric cars don't work so well at minus 25. Some of us will need more convincing.
Then, if we Canadians, all drove electric and the supply and creation of more electricity was carbon free (Obviously it is not) would we reduce the worlds "carbon footprint"?. The difference would be so low as to be unmeasurable. Plus we would be creating more toxic chemicals from batteries etc. We would be better off planting all those millions of trees the government said it was going to plant but didn't. It would be a great summer job and far cheaper. Geographically we, (Canada), are uniquely suited to doing this Maybe taxing carbon would be a better idea if the replacement products were cheaper, worked better and didn't have their own environmental problems.
Then there are the unfortunate realities that taxing gas has many costs in the system besides what you put in your car. Every product we eat, use, and consume is more expensive because of it. And those producers get no rebate and are forced to pass the costs on to us, And we get no rebate for the increased costs of virtually everything.
I am beginning to see why a majority of Canadians oppose this thing.
A liberal MP admitted on CTV news that the tax is as much about wealth distribution as it is about climate change. Again the middle class gets it up the ass. One has to hope that the possibility for a revolution that the RCMP suggest in their report comes to fruition, because socialism leads to communism and we are well on our way. Wakey, Wakey.
Liberals need to institute a tax on waste, mismanagement and BS government policy. So called Carbon Tax is bull shit. It is about control. It is Trudeaus way of telling you he is in control. So just lay back and take it. That man has serious problems.
It is a fact.....Trudeau wanted to put a carbon tax on every Canadian just because they are alive and breathing. Medical professionals convinced him it was unnecessary. Just make Canada a less successful and more miserable place to live. People will give up hope and start "offing" themselves. It is harder to figure out who is responsible but just as effective.
from Blendr News... "In a recent interview on CTV's Question Period, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault disclosed that the Canadian government has yet to determine if carbon tax hikes will persist beyond 2030. This uncertainty looms as consultations commence for post-2030 emission reduction strategies, with an announcement slated for 2025 in accordance with UN obligations. Despite Guilbeault's assurance of continued price increments until 2025, the impending April 1st hike, from $65 to $80 per tonne of CO2, faces staunch opposition. Despite this mounting opposition, the carbon tax trajectory remains on track to hit $170 per tonne by 2030, drawing widespread dissent from pretty much everyone.
Amidst this discord, Guilbeault challenges detractors to propose more effective climate change solutions while vowing against any future exemptions in the program."
OK Guilbeault, here's a few suggestions. Ban flights by private jets owned by the richest 1%. Stop flights by government officials to attend international conferences, all that work could be easily done by using the internet and zoom. Heavily tax flights used to fly pro sports teams of millionaire atheletes from city to city instead of low income single moms.
Realize it is all a virtue signaling exercise. If you are a "Believer", there is nothing Canada can do that moves the global CO2 needle unless the rest of the world is doing likewise, and they are not. The worst Countries for CO2 emission's are not prepared to curb their output of CO2. The only solution is for Canada to tax itself into poverty then plead to the UN we are a "Have Not" country and exempt from any requirements. We are clearly headed there. I believe that the CO2 global hysteria has become a form of religion. Edicts are given out to keep the masses on edge and obedient. It is clear the solutions put forward are worse for the world of inhabitants than any supposed impacts of global warming.
Am I even still allowed to say this? Not for long.
The carbon tax is really a symbolic gesture. You can feel good about all that you are doing for the environment. Yes... you care...Deeply.... about the impending end of the world. So if you don't want to see an end to the world support the carbon tax and vote Liberal
But don't kid yourself. In terms of reducing global carbon emissions it accomplishes nothing. Global carbon is increasing at a stiff pace. It is unlikely the world will unite to fight Green House Gases. There is no evidence of that happening.
Maybe we should be looking more at mitigating the effects of global warming rather than just the cause. In that case Canada has far fewer problems than most of the world.....We are still a very cold place compared to most of the worlds populations. We could plant trees instead.
We all need to protect our freedom and our democracy. Right. What’s more democratic than elites agreeing amongst themselves to not allow voters to be given a choice on a major policy question? Yeah, close to 70% of the people oppose the carbon tax, yet the elite have decided for us that it's the best thing, something we "need". 18 months until the next election, which they've postponed in order to insure their own pensions, because they know that the voters are going to throw them out. Democracy. Freedom. Right. Sure. I believe that. You're just a free range human living in a government controlled tax farm.
From Castanet News.... "Manitoba’s NDP premier, Wab Kinew, can see what B.C.’s NDP premier, David Eby, apparently cannot: The carbon tax is sinking fast.
Kinew has hurled the unpopular tax under the bus, publicly declaring that Manitoba will seek an exemption from Ottawa and, at the prime minister’s invitation, find a different way to fight climate pollution during an affordability crisis.
“Governments like ours that are committed to solving the climate crisis, at least doing our part, we have to show that we're going to be flexible, we're going to keep life affordable," Kinew told CBC.
The move leaves Eby as the only premier still defending the carbon tax. He has little backup, except for a provincial carbon tax rebate program that only offers small-scale financial relief to very low-income British Columbians via cheques that look like they come from the federal government.
Kinew won a strong majority government six months ago, and still has his finger on the pulse of the electorate. He met with Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre last week, who is in the middle of a national “axe the tax” tour and who polls suggest is poised to become Canada’s next prime minister.
“He has said he wants to exempt Manitoba from the carbon tax, and I agree with that—I want to exempt everyone from the carbon tax,” Poilievre told reporters at a joint press conference.
“I'm obviously a Conservative, he's obviously a New Democrat, but that doesn't mean we can't share our priorities and have good conversations together.”
Complimentary words between an NDP premier and a future prime minister. That relationship does not exist in British Columbia. Poilievre and Eby have never even met.
Poilievre wrote Eby a letter last month asking him to not raise the carbon tax April 1, and cited B.C.’s unique provincial administration of the tax. Eby promptly accused Poilievre of misrepresenting the facts and living “in a baloney factory.”
So Poilievre turned his guns on British Columbia, redirecting his “axe the tax” tour here. He’s already rallied thousands and dunked on BC New Democrats all over the place. He’s urged British Columbians to vote Eby’s NDP out of office this October and “elect a common-sense provincial government.”
“I understand B.C. stands for ‘bring cash’ these days,” Poilievre said at a rally in Nanaimo on Monday.
“In British Columbia, where the federal government mandates the tax and the NDP government happily administers the tax, the government collects $9 billion over the next three years and gives back only $3.5 billion, which means the taxpayer is about $5.5 billion dollars. That's just in B.C. alone.
“My friends. I think you'll all agree that Justin Trudeau and the NDP’s carbon tax is starting to give British Columbians the Eby-jeebies.”
It’s not often you see Eby caught flat-footed on issues. But on the carbon tax, in the last month, he and his strategists have had the absolute wrong read of the public mood. Polls show support for Poilievre’s position, not Eby’s.
When the carbon tax rose 23 per cent to $80 per tonne, adding at least three cents a litre more to the price of gas and sending it well over the $2 mark in Metro Vancouver—even New Democrats could hear the grumbling. The carbon tax now accounts for 17 cents per litre of fuel."
The main stream media being given huge amounts of taxpayer money by the lib/NDP coalition has been doing a fine job for them of brainwashing everyone into becoming supposedly greener by having a carbon tax.

ReplyDeleteElectric cars kill flamingos. True, proven scientific fact. How evil is that!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, really! Lithium mining in the basins of South American salt lakes is destroying the breeding grounds of both James's and Andean flamingos.
We "need" the lithium to make batteries for electic cars, that are going to save the planet, that we don't have the electic grid to support.
Electric cars kill flamingos!
