Nah.
It's a small tax, nothing like the kind of tariffs Trump is proposing.
Just look at Ontario.
Our standard of living is quite good here and conbots have been complaining about our economy for over a decade.
Sorry economic alarmists, you're just shouting at the wind now.
Wow, aren't you being diplomatic!
Many Ontarians are NOT doing well, but I guess if you are, then everyone else doesn't matter. That's what I call being selfish and ideologically self-centred and not just you Flossie but your government.
Just this past weekend on the radio and, (apparently) on Global News Toronto, there was a discussion/report about how thousands of people in the province are having to choose between putting food on the table, paying their rent or paying their sky-high utility bills. All is NOT good in ontarioland,. It is now becoming clear that the Ontario Liberal government has been ill-advised by an eco-extremist, but is still determined to put ideology over the people they're supposed to represent. They have already admitted that there's not much they can do. I would suggest first that they tear up those lucrative electricity contracts (but that would likely end up in a law suit which the citizens would be responsible for paying anyway). Someone SHOULD be locked up for putting Ontario in this situation and
the first one should be the one who is now advising Trudeau. He is truly evil!!!
This government has literally put the people of Ontario behind the eight ball by screwing up the very thing that people need to live comfortably and that's the ability to light and heat their homes. In Ontario, if you happen to be in the lower economic status, tough. Like someone was quoted as saying "suck it up". Wow, that's pretty insensitive and "offensive" in my books but I guess flossie that's what you and the government are saying to people who are really hurting. Mind you, you're not the only one; the NDP are saying the same thing here to unemployed workers whose EI is either running out or has run out.
And, the problem is here in Alberta, we're headed the same way. Pictures of coal-fired plants in China purporting to be in Alberta are working I guess. Too bad people are too lazy to actually take the time to look up energy in Canada as a whole. They would find that we provide the cleanest energy on the planet with very little emissions and because we're entrepreneurs and innovators with time we'll get even better. Propaganda is taking the place of truth; ideology over common-sense all for some cocked-up story about climate change. Seriously disturbing.
