BONOKOSKI: The curious case of Boyle and Trudeau
Ottawa and the provinces will rake in more than $16 billion from carbon pricing between 2018 and 2020, while failing to achieve the Trudeau government’s 2020 greenhouse gas reduction target.
My $16 billion estimate — the bulk of which will be paid by Canadians in higher taxes and prices for most goods and services — is a conservative one.
(As I have stated before- LIE-berals have issued hundreds of billions of dollars in pension IOU`s to civil service union Hogs in exchange for their votes. It is truly a vast conflict of interest - yet as we see- LIE-berals CANNOT survive without it! Unfortunately our economy CANNOT survive any serious LIE-beral effort to honour their insane promises to Hogs! The $16 billion LIE-berals have collected in carbon crap and trade tax is simply a SMALL drop in a very big bucket! Even adding in the billions that Ontari-owe LIE-berals have taken by turning our electrical system into a giant Hog slush fund makes little real difference- the promises made to Hogs are UNPRECEDENTED in history!)
It doesn’t factor in the full financial impact of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s mandatory minimum national carbon price of $10 per tonne of emissions, which kicked in Jan. 1, rising to $50 per tonne in 2022.
(So an increase of 500 percent in 4 years- so much for the govt target of 2 percent inflation! The cost of EVERYTHING will soar- and LIE-berals will be hiding their VAST pay raises inside that gigantic carbon slush fund! Ontari-owe LIE-berals have already show us the future with their 2018 so called balanced budget that uses accounting methods never taught by any reputable school to hide a major deficit! Such lies will become the norm if not strongly challenged!)
Meanwhile, the Trudeau government has already conceded in its recent report to the United Nations under the Paris climate accord, that Canada won’t achieve Trudeau’s target of reducing emissions to 17% below 2005 levels by 2020.
(Our idiot Boy is not worried about our carbon failure because it will give him the chance to shower money on third world dictators- the socialist ones he prefers over elected western leaders! Carbon crap and trade scam is all about social engineering and enabling LIE-berals to discreetly reward loathsome pals! Its why Oir idiot Boy restored Cdn funding to terror group Hamas- in his twisted world view Muslim terrorists are more “legitimate” somehow than beleaguered Jews! Our idiot Boy is dedicated to his fathers goal- to destroy what papa Pierre called “Cdn Imperialism- which apparently translates into hate for English speakers and white people generally!)
That would require Ottawa to reduce Canada’s current emissions of 722 megatonnes annually (based on 2015 figures, the latest available) to 613 megatonnes by 2020, or by 109 megatonnes.
Reducing Canada’s emissions by 109 megatonnes annually (a megatonne equals one million tonnes) by 2020, would mean the equivalent of shutting down Canada’s entire electricity sector (79 megatonnes of annual emissions) plus 41% of the agriculture sector (73 megatonnes of annual emissions), in three years.
Simply put, that’s impossible.
(And would cause massive riots across Canada if LIE-berals even made a small start on such economic madness! One has only to look at the Ontari-owe LIE-beral troubles over their electricity price gouging on behalf of provincial Hogs!)
In 2018 alone, Ottawa and the provinces will rake in at least $5.4 billion in revenue from carbon taxes and cap and trade, a carbon tax by another name.
This figure is based on revenue estimates from the four provinces — Ontario, Alberta, B.C. and Quebec — that have already imposed carbon pricing, a federal estimate of revenues from carbon pricing in the six provinces that haven’t yet set a carbon price but must do so this year, plus Ottawa’s share of carbon pricing revenues from the GST.
Ontario will take in about $1.8 billion from carbon pricing in 2018, Alberta $1.04 billion, B.C. $1.19 billion and Quebec $545 million.
According to Parliamentary Budget Officer Jean-Denis Frechette, Ottawa will take in between $236 million and $267 million in carbon pricing revenues during the 2017-18 fiscal year in the four provinces that have already imposed it, because of the GST, and between $265 million and $313 million in the 2018-19 fiscal year.
Finally, according to a secret federal finance department memo obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, “energy consumers in provinces without a legislated carbon tax will pay at least $600 million in higher fuel costs” in 2018, with the imposition of Trudeau’s mandatory minimum carbon price of $10 per tonne, rising substantially in future years as the mandatory minimum price increases.
(Thanks to HST/GST the carbon crap and trade is now a tax on a tax- and nothing but a cash grab that only cleans wallets and leaves the crap in the air! Our carbon emissions are actually still going UP!)
Most of the estimated $5.4 billion cost of carbon pricing in 2018, and the $16 billion cumulative cost from 2018 to 2020, will be paid by Canadians in higher taxes and prices for most goods and services, although B.C. has historically lowered other taxes to offset revenues from its carbon tax and Alberta’s carbon tax is partially offset by tax reductions for small business and full rebates to about 60% of provincial households.
The ultimate cost faced by Canadians in the six provinces that haven’t yet set a carbon price will depend on the outcome of negotiations with Ottawa.
But the bottom line is Canadians are now paying billions of dollars annually for government carbon pricing schemes that will not achieve Trudeau’s emission reduction targets for 2020, or for that matter, 2030.
(LIE-berals do not want to discuss the truth here- that their carbon crap and trade scam is based on the fraud riddled European model- full of forged carbon credits, stock market swindles and manipulation by organized crime!)
A Liberal died and a friend went around collecting for a fund for his funeral. A woman was asked to donate ten dollars. "Ten dollars?" she said. "It only takes ten dollars to bury a Liberal? Here's a hundred - go bury 10 of them!"

LIE-berals define HATE as anything that makes THEM look bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And there are a LOT OF THINGS MAKING LIE-berals look bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is an article illustrating the bigotry and racism prevalent at so many schools and colleges and universities. With some comments of my own in brackets):

WALLACE: Liberals have no real appetite for auto rate cuts
Fresno State professor Randa Jarrar cancelled a weekend speaking gig following blowback from her bitter Barbara Bush tweet.
Just within the past week or so, some shocking professorial behaviour has come to light. In the wake of Barbara Bush’s death, California State University, Fresno professor Randa Jarrar took to Twitter to call the former first lady an “amazing racist.” Jarrar added, “PSA: either you are against these pieces of s— and their genocidal ways or you’re part of the problem. that’s actually how simple this is. I’m happy the witch is dead. can’t wait for the rest of her family to fall to their demise the way 1.5 million iraqis have. byyyeeeeeeee.”
(Oh real class there! But so typical of LIE-berals! Their jubilation when Conservative finance minister Jim Flaherty died young was classic CRASS and total LOW CLASS!)
In New Jersey, Brookdale Community College professor Howard Finkelstein, in a heated exchange, was captured on video telling a conservative student, “F— your life!” At the City University of New York School of Law, students shouted down guest lecturer Josh Blackman for 10 minutes before he could continue his remarks. When Duke University president Vincent Price was trying to address alumni, students commandeered the stage, shouting demands and telling him to leave.
(We should perhaps acknowledge how utterly frustrated LIE-berals are now that ALL their polices are falling into UTTER DISGRACE! Their disappointment and embarrassment are palpable and DESTRUCTIVE forces in the world!)
None of this professorial and student behaviour is new at the nation’s colleges. It’s part of the leftist agenda that dominates our colleges. A new study by Brooklyn College professor Mitchell Langbert — “Homogeneous: The Political Affiliations of Elite Liberal Arts College Faculty” — demonstrates that domination. By the way, Academic Questions is a publication of the National Association of Scholars, an organization fighting the leftist propaganda in academia.
(The really disturbing thing about the LIE-beral position is they intend to “win” any debate or discussion with CENSORSHIP! You cannot really win a debate by HIDING Facts and logic!)
Langbert examines the political affiliation of PhD-holding faculty members at 51 of the 66 top-ranked liberal arts colleges according to U.S. News & World Report. He finds that 39% of the colleges in his sample are Republican-free — with zero registered Republicans on their faculties. As for Republicans within academic departments, 78% of those departments have no Republican members or so few as to make no difference.
(It was the British Labour Party that apparently pioneered the idea of getting their people into the school system to indoctrinate students! The idea has clearly spread across the planet and been quite successful- as long as the kids remain in the hot house school atmosphere! The problem appears when the kids go out into the real world and get exposed to things BEYOND LIE-beral censorship control! One reason for the Doug Ford win can be attributed to the number of college kids struggling with student debt- thus they now see CLEARLY the poisoned nature of LIE-beral spending and shameless vote buying!)
Langbert breaks down the faculty Democrat-to-Republican ratio by academic department, and there are not many surprises. Engineering departments have 1.6 Democrats for every Republican. Chemistry and economics departments have about 5.5 Democrats for every Republican. The situation is especially bad in anthropology departments, where the Democrat-to-Republican faculty ratio is 133-to-1, and in communications departments, where the ratio is 108-to-zero. Langbert says, “I could not find a single Republican with an exclusive appointment to fields like gender studies, Africana studies, and peace studies.”
(This stuff dovetails with similar anti leftie comments by U of T professor and clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson! The study of economics is not one of the fuzzy humanities but personal bias makes for a selective and subjective reaction to policies- one has only to think of Rhodes scholar and former Toronto mayor David Miller who knows lots about spending money AND knows nothing about where it comes from or how it is earned or why out of control debt is Bad!)
Later on in the study, Langbert turns his attention to Democrat-to-Republican faculty ratios at some of our most elite colleges. At Williams College, the Democrat-to-Republican ratio is 132-to-1. At Amherst College, it’s 34-to-1. Wellesley’s is 136-to-1. At Swarthmore, 120-to-1. Claremont McKenna, 4-to-1. Davidson, 10-to-1. Only two colleges of the top 66 on U.S. News & World Report’s 2017 list have a modicum of equality in numbers between Democratic and Republican faculty members. They are the U.S. Military Academy, aka West Point, with a Democrat-to-Republican ratio of 1.3-to-1, and the U.S. Naval Academy, whose ratio is 2.3-to-1.
(It is clear that those who cannot “do” in the real world will turn to teaching!)
Many professors spend class time indoctrinating students with their views. For faculty members who are Democrats, those views can be described as leftist, socialist or communist. It is a cowardly act for a professor to take advantage of student immaturity by indoctrinating pupils with his opinions before the students have developed the maturity and skill to examine other opinions. It is also dereliction of duty of college administrators and boards of trustees to permit the continuance of what some professors and students are doing in the name of higher education.
(It is also a GROSS CONFLICT of interest considering how much govt tax money colleges and universities get in Canada! LIE-berals BUY civil service union Hog votes with gobs of gravy- while enslaving students into debt with rip off OSAP loans to pay for the gravy- while professors abuse their position by spewing propaganda at the kids about how good a govt deal they are getting!)
Langbert’s findings suggest biases in college research and academic policy, where leftist political homogeneity is embedded in the college culture. The leftist bias at most of the nation’s colleges is in stark contrast to the political leanings of our nation. According to a number of Pew Research Center surveys, most Americans identify as conservative.
(An example of bias would be the women` studies groups who have arbitrarily re-defined the crimes of spousal abuse and rape in order to make social conditions LOOK more severe than they are- according to author Christina Hoff- Somers in her book “Who Stole Feminism”? Hoff Somers documents a shameless manipulation of statistics by Feminazi FAKES who are seeking govt grants for problems THEY have created by faking number and altering definitions- without bothering to admit their fakery to anybody !)
These Americans are seeing their tax dollars and tuition dollars going to people who have contempt for their values and seek to indoctrinate their children with leftist ideas.
