Yes, dear. Everything is taxed in such a "roundabout way." But whatever it takes for you to whimper about how hard-done-by you are.
April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

Unless the cow wants an abortion, which is 100% her decision.
Probably need a forklift, though.
Yeah, 20 L ready to go, just pour into the fermentor and pitch the yeast. Couldn't be easier, and it's as good as any microbrew draft. Don't know why anyone buys from the beer store anymore with home brew options available today.
My buddy makes a killer lager. He even pasteurises then runs it through a Soda Stream unit. Nice and crisp.
Atlantic provinces will be 'worse off' with federal carbon tax by 2030, newest PBO report finds
apple.news
PBO Yves Giroux provided an update to his infamous federal carbon pricing report from March 2022 – that Conservatives have been referring to since the past year – to include the three Atlantic provinces that will enter the federal backstop regime on July 1, 2023, and to update the costs that will apply to households in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.
Welcome Aboard!!
“Most households will be worse off when you take into account this slightly lower economic activity,” he said. “So only the bottom quintile is better off but everybody else is likely worse.”
The carbon tax is set to rise to $65 per tonne of carbon dioxide, starting April 1st, and will gradually go up by $15 every year to end up costing $170 per tonne on April Fools Day in 2030.
In other April 1st related news, MP Salaries will go up, and that is all. Oh, and this I guess. Ottawa police said in an email the force “is aware of the potential for demonstrations this coming weekend” and monitoring the situation to be ready to act if needed.
“As with any demonstration, police expect lawful behaviour.”
Police did not share details about what demonstration officers would be monitoring this weekend.
There has been discussion on social media recently about an apparent rally called the “National Shutdown” protest scheduled for Parliament Hill for a few days beginning April 1. An event poster shared online claims the protest would demand the removal of the Liberal government from power, claiming it is illegitimate due to election interference.
This newspaper reached out to the Parliamentary Protective Service and the committee responsible for issuing permits for events on Parliament Hill. No response had been sent as of mid-afternoon Thursday.

April Fools Day again. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending the appointment of senior Liberal cabinet minister Dominic LeBlanc's sister-in-law as Canada's interim ethics commissioner. That’s a real news story & not from the Beaverton. Really…
Anyway, April 1st is here again:
“Most households will see a net loss, paying more in fuel charges and GST, as well as receiving lower incomes, compared to the Climate Action Incentive payments they receive,” a report from the Parliamentary Budget Office released this week said.
It’s the second time the non-partisan PBO has said most families don’t get back more than they pay in carbon taxes and the Trudeau government continues to ignore the PBO and repeat their lie.
Unlike the government analysis, the PBO looks at the increased GST costs each of us will pay, the GST is charged ON TOP OF the carbon tax. They also look at the lower incomes Canadians will receive, the lost investment in this country meaning fewer jobs and the overall economic impact.
According to the PBO, by 2030 when the carbon tax is fully implemented, the total cost to households after rebates will be significant. In Newfoundland and Labrador middle income households will pay $680 more annually after rebates, $929 in Saskatchewan, $1,028 in Manitoba, $1,118 in PEI, $1,127 in Nova Scotia, $1,269 in Ontario and $1,460 in Alberta.
Households with higher incomes will pay as much as $9,000 a year in carbon tax outcomes.
But Trudeau will keep claiming that people get back more than they pay and too many in the media will repeat that mantra without fact checking it.
The claim that the carbon tax is revenue neutral was always a claim about what the government would take in, not what you would pay. The PBO has shown the average family will pay more starting April 1.
The CTF estimates this year’s pay raise will range from an extra $5,100 for a backbench MP to an extra $10,200 for the prime minister, based on contract data published by the federal government. This will be the fourth MP pay raise since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Saturday, the federal carbon tax went up by nearly a third. That is definitely going to increase the price you have to pay to fly to your niece’s wedding this summer or send your kids back to university across the country. Maybe it will raise airfares by just enough that you’ll decide to ride out winter in Canada next year because you just can’t afford a ticket to somewhere warm.
But not the Prince of Papineau. (Papineau is the name of Trudeau’s Montreal riding.)
Trudeau never has to trouble himself about the grotty details of life in the middle class.
No wonder he’s all in favour of draconian measures to shut down the oil and gas industry and make fossil fuels unaffordable. So what if his mandate to make electric vehicles mandatory by 2035 prices a lot of low-income Canadians out of the car market completely? His grand ideas will never eliminate his job or curtail his lifestyle.
Trudeau is also aided in his royal, two-faced governing style by his palace guard in Canadian media, including the CBC and Toronto Star.
In 2012, Conservative minister Bev Oda was hounded from office by the national media for charging $665 a night for a room at London’s Savoy Hotel and downing a $16 orange juice.
Why does similar outrage not cling to Trudeau?
Not only are Trudeau’s flying habits of little interest to his media pals, his $8,000-a-night stay at London’s Corinthia Hotel piques little interest, too.
Wait!? $8,000 a night!? Wasn’t the room $6,000?
Well, $6,000 is what Trudeau’s flunkies at Global Affairs Canada claimed. But they seem to have used an exchange rate that never existed. Using the official exchange rate for the days Trudeau stayed in the River Suite (and the hotel’s posted rate for the butler-staffed rooms), the price in Canadian dollars would be closer to $8,000.

Between mid-February and mid-March, our “green” leader flew in RCAF executive jets 17 times, roughly once every other day.
Ten of those flights (nearly 60%) were under an hour’s duration. Trudeau seems especially fond of the 22-minute flight between Ottawa and Montreal.
On St. Patrick’s Day, Trudeau even ordered his jet to come pick him up from an appearance in Waterloo, Ont. (flight time approximately 20 minutes), rather than inconveniencing himself with the hour-long drive to Toronto where his jet was parked.
Better Canadian taxpayers be out of pocket than His Holiness, Canada’s 23rd prime minister, have to ride in the back of an – ugh – limo or a – shriek – Chevy Suburban, accompanied by a phalanx of motorcycles and police SUVs.
The humiliation of having to take ground transportation would be too much.
Not only does Trudeau’s exec-jet habit show what an eco-hypocrite he is, it also belies a princely attitude. These flight records show Trudeau is not affected by the very policies he imposes on the rest of Canadians.

The people impacted by the carbon tax aren’t necessarily the ones sharing in the benefits of clean tech innovation, namely “green jobs.”
As defined by the United Nations, green jobs are “positions in agriculture, manufacturing, R&D, administrative, and service activities aimed at substantially preserving or restoring environmental quality.” They include work in things as diverse as organic food production, ecodesign, tourism, and, of course, energy and transportation.
According to government estimates, we will create more green jobs than we have workers to fill them. It would be great if every displaced energy worker could pivot from the oilfields to a carbon capture facility, or manufacturing worker to tour guide, but that won’t be the case. Without upskilling, retraining, and yes, displacement, Canadian workers won’t be able to take advantage of many of those jobs.
And many of the people currently left behind in the economy, particularly those who are not high-skilled, may never make that “transition.” Yet at the same time, they will be paying more for gas, home heating and consumer goods due to the carbon tax.
How can Canada contribute the most to the fight against climate change? Not by nickel and diming our own population, who emit a scant 1.5 per cent of the world’s carbon emissions. Our impact will only matter if it’s on a global scale. That involves getting our critical minerals out of the ground, innovating in areas like clean hydrogen, clean diesel, and other forms of green energy tech for export. We will only make a real impact if we help power other nations, including the United States.

Hell, will the kids who are in school now be educated enough to even take those so-called green jobs. They're not exactly learning STEM subjects. (Being Woke is much more important don't 'cha know). Will be interesting to see who fills those jobs & what the economic results will be.
