Actually the Wynne government is the best one this province has ever had.

And if you want the evidence, just look at how the Ontario PCs have been transformed into environmentally friendly socialists.


:lol:

As if your mod buddy would ever do that to you.

So how much tax should I pay? It shouldn't be a difficult question, even for you.

If your standard is letting a dyke b!tch destroy the economy and go against the will of the people at every turn then yes she/he has been awesome. Her and Trudoh and Cun-tley are trying to turn Canada in to the old USSR combined with the Orwellian society of 1984. Both the dumb c^nts look like they have had the rat-trap on their faces more than once. My hope is all 3 are in a fiery plane crash soon....that would be one travel expense I wouldn't complain about.

The poor are going to suffer. The elite, from which the Liberals draw their membership, won't give a rat's *** if they have to pay more to heat there houses in the Canadian winter.

Trudeau is a millionaire.

Let them eat cake.

Actually in Alberta any family earning less than $950,000 a year gets a full rebate. I don't know about the rest of Canada, but that is the way it is here.

Carbon rebates

Rebates will be provided to lower- and middle-income Albertans to offset costs associated with the carbon levy. The rebates protect those who spend a higher percentage of their income on energy costs and have fewer financial resources to invest in energy efficiency products.
60% of households will get a full rebate: $200 for an adult, $100 for a spouse and $30 for each child under 18 (up to four children). Single parents can claim the spouse amount for one child, and the child amount for up to 4 more children.
Full rebates will be provided to single Albertans who earn $47,500 or less, and couples and families who earn $95,000 or less. An additional 6% of households will receive a partial rebate.

Here in Ontario, they have already started to collect the carbon tax with no mechanism announced, yet, for compensating anyone. They are so strapped for cash, I don't expect to hear about the re-bate part until they are billions ahead.

Of course 90 plus percent of our electricity here in B.C. comes from clean green hydro . We really need to tax that clean power more .

Record hydro consumption with all this global warming which means NG is probably record as well.

The problem with that line of bullsh!t is that most experts who aren't on the NDP payroll figure it will cost a family of 4 almost $5000/yr by the time you account for the inflationary nature of the tax. So $360/yr rebate ain't really doing much is it?

Yes, but conservatives will always feign shock to make it look egregious.

If anything, the increase is too mild.
Perfect Prog response. Confiscate more private capital to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

How about you pay your fair share instead of asking others to do it for you.

That's how we do things in Canada.
Thank God we have such compassionate libs like you to tell us how to do things. Oh and of course it;s you soooo egalitarian lefties who get to define "fair share".

Just before the end of December I bought gas for 1.08L, today I paid 1.21L - quite the jump in prices here in BC.
