Kenney elected on a lie

[Hoid]

During the provincial election, and on many occasions since, the government of Premier Jason Kenney has claimed the NDP government's carbon tax damaged Alberta's economy.

That claim is false, according to economic modelling contained in the Kenney government's own legal documents.

"I think not surprisingly to those of us who have studied carbon taxes, [Kenney's claims] seem quite exaggerated," said University of British Columbia political scientist Kathryn Harrison, an expert in environmental, climate and energy policy.

Interesting that since obtaining office Kenney has managed to increase Alberta's debt by almost $2 billion

$16,750,000. That's the cost to GDP

Everyone knows that more tax is always better.

Never trust Hoid. He is a card carrying member of the Marxist-Leninist party.

And you are a card carrying loony. So what?

Why didn't they use an expert from Alberta?

 

[Hoid]

What was the purpose of the lie?

Who would it appeal to?

Oh that's right. The White Nationalist climate change deniers.

 

[Twin_Moose]

Is Kenney actually wrong?

Your question is unclear to me.

 

[Twin_Moose]

From the outside looking in, it doesn't explain the caps put on by the NDP, investment drying up and Canadian business closing up shop and moving South does it?

 

[Hoid]

Do you understand that oil has gone from $100 a bbl to $50?

 

[Twin_Moose]

The article is dependent on models set up by pro carbon pricing and has no basis in real life.

[Hoid]

you have no basis in real life.

 

[Twin_Moose]

you have no basis in real life.

11% unemployment is real life

Even their models showed a loss just not as much as Kenney's model

Is everyone a Neo Nazi in your world?

Over 40% of Calgarians are people of colour, and feel the same way. Explain that one, Einstein.

Answer: yes.

Funniest part is that he is completely oblivious of the irony that calling literally everyone a "white natty" shows his obvious bigotry and intolerant racist prejudiced against Caucaisian people. He's the biggest racist hypocrite on this board...lol.

Literally everyone meaning you and the other 6?

Everyone's models showed that the carbon tax did not hurt Alberta's economy.

Even Kenney's own models
