I will burn everything in reach of flames to foil this diabolical rape of the taxpayer, tomorrow I will buy a smoking half ton truck and pour thousands of dollars of untreated fuel through it's horrible out of tune engine. Green wood through the furnace all winter even if it kills me. I will offset this fukking carbon tax.

And I will pray for volcanic activity in Nova Scotia.

Typical of lieberal government.....Tax and spend......tax and spend!

Liberals have never met a tax they didn't like.

Chretien ate the GST.

Aren't you the guy that praises innovation in capitalism?

You do know where the business is going right?



A price is not a tax.

And I have a well paying private sector job thank you very much.

If the government collects it with a law sayin they can it is a tax. Hopefully Trump will save us from this ruination.

 

[petros]

Are corporations going to cash in while consumers pay like the SO2 cap and trade scam?

 

[darkbeaver]

:lol:



You worry too much about taxes.

Just get a better job and enjoy life.

I don't do jobs sir. I have been independently wealthy for two or more decades by now. Of course I work every day, but it is no job sir. Those that must job are noble people nonetheless. I don't worry about taxes, I joke about them. Upon my departure from this mortal coil I hope to owe several millions of back taxes which they will find impossible to find.

Yes, business is going elsewhere in countries where there are no difficult carbon tax costs to navigate and they can spend more money on innovation rather then on red tape.

Everyone will have one so they have nowhere left to go.

Call me when that happens. I'll be making money from my bet it never will.

That depends on format.

I think your right not to worry. Most of the world is rolling in laughter at the western disease.

A tax on carbon is an attack on life itself, all the advocates for carbon taxation should stuffed into a capsule and expelled from this planet or burnt at the stake.

Canada to implement national carbon price

Canada will implement a national policy to charge polluters for emitting carbon dioxide by the end of the year, a top government official said.

Catherine McKenna, Canada’s environment minister, told Bloomberg TV Canada that the goal of the policy is a uniform national carbon price, along with new requirements for companies to disclose emissions.

“What we want to see is uniformity in terms of a national price, also that we’re doing it in a thoughtful way, and provinces and territories need to decide what they’re doing with the revenues,” she said.

Four provinces representing about 80 percent of Canada’s population currently have some kind of carbon pricing policies, which usually consist of either a carbon tax or cap-and-trade system.

Asked whether her pledge means that provinces and territories without a tax currently would be forced to implement one, McKenna told Bloomberg, “I don’t like the word forced. I think this is really an opportunity.”

“We need a national price on carbon,” she said. “So that’s what we’re going to have in the fall.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met in March with the leaders of all of the provinces and territories, and asked them to propose by October climate plans for their jurisdictions that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Trudeau, a member of the Liberal party, came to power last year, replacing Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Harper had resisted wide-ranging climate policies, and Trudeau’s party was elected in part due to its promise to take climate more seriously.

We need a carbon tax to pay the Federal debt, but we must reduce spending too. A carbon tax is fundamentally a conservative idea. Ironic that the CPC opposes it while the LPC supports it.

I'm predominantly carbon, this forms the basis of my reluctance to be sequestered.

You don't think there will eventually be carbon pricing adopted world wide?

World, what exactly comes to your mind when you see that word mentalflush?

Bump GST back up to 7% if it goes directly to debt

Or put that toward something useful instead of the fake economy.

The fake carbon scam based on the SO2 scam?

If it doesn't go towards the debt, then second priority should be universal compulsory education. Next priority should be trades and professional education for the unemployed, underemployed, and the underpaid.
