OTTAWA — Ministers aren’t exactly clear on how to fulfill the incoming Liberal prime minister’s promise of axing the consumer carbon tax.


With a 19% hike coming April 1, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said they aren’t quite sure how to pull off Mark Carney’s promise without passing legislation, reports Blacklock’s Reporter.

“We’re looking into different options,” Guilbeault said on Tuesday.

“Do we need to change the legislation? Can we go through the regulatory route? Like, what are the options? I don’t have answers for you.”

When asked if this’ll happen before the next federal election, Guilbeault said they’re looking into it.



“(Carney) said he wanted to get rid of it,” Guilbeault said.

“We are looking into how that could be done and how rapidly.”

Liberal MP Adam van Koeverden insists April Fool’s Day won’t come with a carbon tax hike.

“That won’t go up on April 1,” said van Koeverden, who said it’s up to the environment and finance ministers to nail down the details.

“In short order the consumer carbon tax will be removed from other fuels as well.”

Funny, the weren't "unsure" about how to impose it. . .

Do that, only backwards.

The office of Canada’s independent Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) took the unusual step of putting out a factual update on Thursday, after critics, including Liberal Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, questioned the findings of a PBO analysis linking the proposed federal emissions cap to deep job losses.

It’s the latest in a series of attacks by the federal Liberals against the PBO over estimates that show negative economic consequences for their climate policy.

The Liberals have previously attacked the PBO for reports showing negative impacts of their Clean Fuel Regulations, particularly for lower-income households, and that the carbon tax would negatively affect the economy.

Heather Exner-Pirot, an energy analyst with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, said that the federal government’s lack of transparency surrounding its own numbers makes it hard to say who’s right.

“It feels a tad hypocritical for the feds to be attacking the PBO’s model when they won’t release their own,” said Exner-Pirot.

We can fuck around with the Eco-Fascism or we can fill the void Russia leaves behind. Its our oil gas trees minerals that are hamstrung by the Eco-Fascists. They tax us instead of earning from exports. We can't live like this anymore. If it takes crashing the economy to do it so be it. Its not just Canada its global Eco-Fascism we're up against.

So that’s why Trump is budding up with Putin over Ukraine then? Striking trade deals or trying to? Or am I 90 minutes out of date with Trumps coin flipping?

Hes not buddying up. Stop believing the fucking chimps.

Weeks behind.

Zelenskyy and the US signed the deal weeks ago in Kyiv. Zelenskyy's trip to the white house was for the "ceremonial" signing as stated by Vance during the Kabuki.

The Kabuki bought time to make major arms movements. Putin didnt the utilize the past few weeks by thinking the Ukrainian American relationship was over.

You sure bought it.

Liberals are still lying about cutting any tax. All they are planing on doing is transferring the tax from the end user to the producer(read O&G and maybe cement outside of Quebec) where it will be buried in the retail price as part of the cost of production, and the not too bright will think they are no longer paying the carbon scam tax.

And not bothering to give back any rebates or tax credits either. This way they keep all the money.

Rebates and credits suck. Why can't the just say "bribes?"

Might have worked out better for them. The terms and conditions would be more clearly understood.

And that's the whole point. Everybody claims to want a clear, simple tax system, but nobody turns down a few goodies.

In any law over ten pages long, all rest of the pages are breaks and exceptions for the rich and special interests.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Code runs about 4000 pages.

There’s only one party actually promising to eliminate the carbon tax at this point, & it’s not the Liberals who introduced it.

AS a lawyer, you should know better than to use such crude words around politician's sensitive ears.

There’s only one party actually promising to eliminate the carbon tax at this point, & it’s not the Liberals who introduced it.

While Carney has reduced (not cancelled) the consumer carbon tax to zero for the time being, it’s not clear why Canadians should be reassured that the same Liberal government with a new face and these old restrictions is suddenly going to turn Canada into an energy superpower.

(Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre recently vowed to scrap the industrial carbon tax, choosing instead to reward companies that lower emissions with tax credits)

The only thing that’s changed about the Liberal party is the addition of Carney, and his record suggests that he will be driven by climate policy, at least as much as the Liberals have been, and potentially much more so. He was, not so long ago, the United Nations’ special envoy on climate action and finance and he founded and co-chaired the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), resigning on Jan. 15, the day before he threw his hat into the Liberal leadership race.

Don't trust his pledge to turn Canada into an energy superpower

Sunday’s edition of the Financial Times included the oft-made observation that Canada is brimming with potential, and the oft-made conclusion that this country would be much better off if it simply developed its God-given gifts.

The article, Unlocking Canada’s Superpower Potential by Tej Parikh, made the bullish case for this country’s future prospects: Canada is geographically huge and loaded with natural resources — on paper, at least, it has the makings of an actual global superpower.

“‘Canada absolutely has potential to be a global superpower,’ added Papic. But the nation has lacked the visionary leadership and policy framework to capitalise on its advantages.”

It was, with gentle vagueness, a condemnation of the federal Liberal government and what is now being called Canada’s “lost decade”: a period of 10 years in which the current government ratcheted up onerous environmental and Indigenous-consultation requirements and, where ministerial approvals are concerned, delayed decisions, all geared at keeping undeveloped parts of Canada in their natural state.

CNFTLs LIKE the carbon tax. Given that you wouldn't cast a vote for Carney or the Libs if he came out like Ronald Reagan, why should he care what you or other Tories think?

What rate is the carbon tax currently in the country you reside in? Has your government mentioned introducing one to make them more competitive? Good morning.

We have taxes on everything.

Would you feel better if they re-named it? Call it the "thumb tax?"

It’s not a matter of my happiness regarding the names of taxes in America, but the purpose & reasoning (call it justification) for their existence (beyond revenue generation) if their stated purpose is for behavioural modification for an intention that’s unachievable unless it’s globally applied, leaving them as just national self-flagellation leading to uncompetitiveness, well, it’s definitely food for thought.

So. . . your point is that unless every country in the world reduces its carbon emissions, all at the same time, there's no point?
