Gonna be funny watching him desperately try to promise that he'll cut it when election season rolls around...

If he doesn't drop out, it's gonna get ugly. His party knows that they will be tied to this wholly unpopular shit, once he loses. He's burning them all down, and they know it.

it's like an extra buck on a 100 dollars worth of gas. You dorks don't get up in arms when oil companies jack prices.

You forgot to mention that Trudeau also gave himself a raise, starting today.

That being said, the Liberals are employing both a carbon tax and business suffocating carbon regulations, and If I had to choose between the two, I would choose the tax.

Let Canadians see what their governments net zero aspirations are really costing them.

This article by Ross McKitrick is excellent:

Opinion: Wanted — a federal leader who will be honest about climate policy

Trudeau doesn't really believe the market story he was pitching last week, and what would Poilievre do after he axed the carbon tax? Read on.

...
Pierre Poilievre is leading anti-carbon tax rallies around the country, ginning up support for an old-fashioned tax revolt. In response, Justin Trudeau went to Calgary and trumpeted — believe it or not! — his love of free markets. After explaining the economic logic of using a carbon tax to reduce greenhouse gases, the prime minister slammed regulatory approaches, which, he said, “all involve the heavy hand of government. I prefer a cleaner solution, a market-based solution and that is, if you’re behaving in a way that causes pollution, you should pay.” He added that the Conservatives would instead rely on the “heavy hand of government through regulation and subsidies to pick winners and losers in the economy as opposed to trusting the market.”

Amen to all that! But someone should tell Trudeau that his own government’s Emission Reduction Plan mainly consists of heavy-handed regulations, subsidies, mandates and winner-picking grants. Within its 240 pages one does find a carbon tax. But also 139 additional policies, including Clean Fuels Regulations, an electric vehicle mandate that will ban gasoline cars by 2035, aggressive fuel economy standards that will hike such cars’ cost in the meantime, costly new emission targets specifically for oil and gas, agriculture, heavy industry and waste management, onerous new energy efficiency requirements both for new buildings and renovations of existing buildings, new electricity grid requirements, and page upon page of subsidy funds for “clean technology” firms and other would-be winners in the sunlit uplands of the new green economy.

Does Trudeau oppose any of that? Hardly. But the economic logic of a carbon tax only applies when it is used on its own. He doesn’t get to boast about the elegance of market mechanisms on behalf of a policy package that starts with a price signal then destroys it with a massive regulatory apparatus. ...

Why should Canadians shoulder the BS of India and China's unregulated manufacturing industries?

If you were able to properly communicate I bet this would be very troubling.

Everything that requires fuel to be shipped will also increase in price, then we'll be charged 13% extra Federal sales tax on that extra carbon tax as well. OnLy A feW BucKs.

The Great Reset is the deiberate bankrupting of the middle class into permanent serfdom that libs swore wasn't happening.

'Secret' RCMP report forecasts a bleak future in Canada

A 'secret' Royal Canadian Mounted Police report paints a dark picture of Canada's future due to climate change, misinformation, a global recession and other troubling trends.

www.ctvnews.ca

"The coming period of recession will also accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations," the nine-page report predicts in a section titled "Popular Resentment."

It goes on to state that "many Canadians under 35 are unlikely ever to be able to buy a place to live."

"The fallout from this decline in living standards will be exacerbated by the fact that the difference between the extremes of wealth is greater now in developed countries than it has been at any time in several generations," the report adds.

Tell me you are fucking retarded without telling me you are fucking retarded.

200 economists wrote that this is stupid.

Bruce Arthur: Pierre Poilievre says one thing. 200 experts refute it. Who to believe?

Canadian economists signed a letter this week addressing the main arguments against carbon pricing. Here's what they said, and why it ought to matter.

Hmm who to believe, economicists or some loudmouth populist idiot?

That's the whole point, its to deter large companies from using processes that emit lots of carbon. How do you suggest we deal with climate change?

anything that doesn't bankrupt the middle class into permanent poverty. also "climate change" lol.

Then why are citizens being taxed up the ass if the point is to deter large companies?

I can not believe I am living in a world where people are actually trying to justify being taxed up the ass.

I guess people will be able to access products that are manufactured within biking or walking distance. Need formula for your baby, sorry we can't ship it there from 300 miles away. Deter large companies by punishing the common man?

When I was 8-9 years old, I was trying to convince my parents to buy me the Atari 2600 gaming console, they said it was too much money. I replied "Well why don't you just swipe the Visa and that's that". I never realized that money had to actually be paid back. That's Truedope till this day.
