How is Canada going to pay into the Climate Fund without any Climate Tax?
Hmmn.............how about the Canadian government begins by cutting off all welfare payments to the unemployed bums who showed up to protest, build hovels, light illegal campfires and spread their filth through the neighborhood. Then we could get the names of all the reserves foolish enough to participate in the same protests and withdraw all their funding. Considering the millions of dollars wasted on these two groups alone, we should come up with a tidy bundle of cash.

why lower the carbon tax when the Alberta government could drop income taxes instead?
Why not raise the GST instead of BS carbon taxes?
They can't guilt you into GST?

Premier Rachel Notley called on the federal government to immediately appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of Canada and call recall Parliament for an emergency session.
At the Nisku Tim Horton's, Dave Jorgensen, a retired vice principal who has lived in the area for decades, said he hoped efforts by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Notley would "jump-start the process" through an emergency session or the lobbying other premiers.
"This to me just smacks of pacific privilege," said Jorgensen. "Nobody wants to stand on a tub and thump but certainly I think there is a level of anxiety that I've never seen before."
Jorgensen said environmental assessments are an important part of the process but expressed concern they were done without an understanding of the economic implications.
"The oil supply that Alberta provides really is in the national interest," said Jorgensen. "This path we're on right now will not only compromise the economy of Alberta but will compromise the Canadian economy."
Welcome to the club Rachel...
Hours after a stunning Federal Court of Appeal decision in which Ottawa’s approval of the contentious Trans Mountain pipeline expansion was overturned, Premier Rachel Notley addressed Albertans about the latest hurdle to come before the project and dropped a political bombshell of her own.
“Signing on to the federal climate plan can’t happen without the Trans Mountain pipeline,” she told reporters at a new conference Thursday evening. “Today I’m announcing that with the Trans Mountain halted and the work on it halted, until the federal government gets its act together, Alberta is pulling out of the federal climate plan and let’s be clear, without Alberta, that plan isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.”
Notley said Alberta signing onto the plan was always contingent on the Trans Mountain pipeline project going forward.

Environmentally-speaking, a haircut doesn't harm the environment nearly as much as a flight does. So tax the carbon. User-pay.
