Interesting that they call tourism green industry. Cruise ships use so much fuel, it is measured in cubic meters. As do planes, only they measure in tones, because weight is important. So your white water rafting adventures in the Yukon are anything but green.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.

Liberal MP asks for second look at carbon tax report that shows Canadians will come out behind — National Post
'Most households will see a net loss, paying more in the federal fuel charge and GST,' the PBO says
The Liberals have long argued that most Canadians come out ahead on the carbon tax because of the quarterly rebate payments. The carbon tax applies to purchases for fuel and natural gas in Ontario, Manitoba, Yukon, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Nunavut. Other provinces have developed their own systems and are not subject to the tax.
After an April 1 hike to the federal carbon tax, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault has been claiming that the increase represents a net benefit to Canadians in the form of higher rebates?
But a cursory analysis of the evidence shows that the carbon tax — just like most taxes — will indeed have the net effect of subtracting money from the citizenry.
As they’ve done on previous April 1 rises to the carbon taxes, the Trudeau government is claiming that — thanks to rebates — “most” Canadian households will get back more from the carbon tax than they pay in?

Yes, there are rebates, but not enough when the economic cost of the carbon tax is factored in
Rex Murphy: Liberals put hypocrisy on the menu with grocery 'rebate' — National Post
It’s the 'we have your back' theme again from the very politicians who left that back exposed in this first place
Millions, eh? And why would there be such a extremely high number? Could it be that the Liberals’ financial policies, their grim fantasy of windmills and solar panels over energy we already have, have deprived Canada of revenues and employment that would have left those “millions” in a much better position than now they are?
Could it be that the useless, futile, stupid carbon tax, together with madcap public spending and deficits, has inevitably driven up the cost of the most basic necessities for ordinary Canadians?
It is our pious, woke government that has made things more expensive, built up a federal debt that demands huge payments, and driven up the cost of the groceries it now shamelessly brags it is subsidizing in Freeland’s condescending tweet.
Where are the real incentives?
Shit like a tax credit on the $250 it"ll cost me to grow and maintain a garden? Buying a $40K vehicle that gets 7L/100km? Staycations? Buying local baked goods? Setting up a summer kitchen to keep the AC bill low and for comfort?
I dont need a supermarket such as Galleria but I do need a bigger freezer. Is that something I need to be a Weston to acquire?

As Upton Sinclair famously said, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
That has been on full display among the chattering classes in Ottawa of late among politicians, rent-seekers and special interest groups whose political and economic fortunes depend on the public believing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax will do what he says it will do.
Hence the gang tackle of a credible and thoroughly unsurprising report by Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux — an independent, non-partisan watchdog on federal spending — about the financial impact of Trudeau’s carbon tax on Canadian households.

By 2030, 80% of households in five of the seven provinces, will pay more in carbon taxes that they get back in rebates

It’s tax season. Well, for the environment now, it’s always tax season.
The carbon tax — which was raised to $65 as metric ton on April 1 — is impacting the economy in many ways. As the implementation of a higher carbon tax moves forward, a new baseline for costing is set for all sectors of our economy. By 2023, our carbon tax will be at $170 a metric ton, subsequently we need to be ready.
Now, to be clear, supporting the carbon tax is essentially supporting the lesser of all evils. Based on the last budget, Ottawa is all in on clean-tech and these investments will have an impact on making our economy greener, eventually. Climate change is real, and we need to act.
But food, or the food industry from both ends of the food continuum, should be considered differently. Given that our own food security and affordability situation is at stake, we need to tread our climatic waters extremely carefully.

Well, we have to remain competitive in our pricing with American Haulers. 90% of the population of Canada lives within 100 miles of the US border. Remember, you asked…
We are an international carrier, competing with other international carriers from America. Passing on the April Fools Carbon Tax to our customers is not a luxury we can partake in, so that means it just comes out of our very narrow bottom line directly. If you can’t deliver your load on the US Fuel in your tanks and then get back to the US to refill, you eat the loss that the Carbon Tax is.
Our only defence against the carbon tax is that we try to buy as little fuel as possible in Canada, though with IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) we will still pay the road tax for every kilometre driven in Canada to each jurisdiction….Currently it doesn’t force international carriers to pay the carbon tax on fuel, brought into the country in OEM fuel cells or the first 200L in an aftermarket not OEM Slip Tanks.
International Fuel Tax Agreement - Wikipedia
So, unless you live within a return trip of a single tank of fuel, carried by a vehicle, bringing whatever it is you’re purchasing, that’s coming from another country, you’re paying the Carbon Tax on pretty much everything you purchase!!! Everything. You. Purchase. So…. The further away from the American border, the smaller the profit margin becomes.
How else can a Canadian International Carrier compete with American International Carriers when American doesn’t have this April Fools Tax? It is what it is. Play the system within the boundaries of the law.
Wannabe warm. Wannabe able to grow crops. Wannabe not on top of the Canadian Shield if at all possible. With the rules imposed upon us, that means Wannabe within a return trip on the fuel you can legally carry to the American border.

Can you spare us a recitation of your love of dick, please?
Not that there's anything WRONG with that. . .
You know, Tee, I only live for your approval. lol
right
I'll be paying extra attention to your spelling and syntax henceforth.
