You must have a
hot-key set up for the word "
LIE-beral"
Or you should for the number of times you type it.......Ad-nauseum
Just because SCAMMERS DO NOT LIKE BEING CALLED SCAMMERS IS NO REASON NOT TO CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE! Same thing for LIE-berals!
Or have you conveniently FORGOTTEN how many LIES they have told us about their 2017 and 2018 budgets- just a small portion of the shameless propaganda they spew like super charged manure spreaders!
Here is an older article to remind us that LIE-beral promises never quite come true- except in their own fevered imaginations!
Here is a older article offering a detailed illustration of the future of the LIE-beral carbon crap and trade plan-with some comments of my own in brackets):
Trudeau’s Down Under disaster

When it comes to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national carbon pricing scheme, we have seen Canada’s future. It’s in Australia and it’s not pretty.
Australia, like Canada, is a developed country with a huge land mass, a relatively small population and significant fossil fuel resources — coal for it, oil and gas for Canada. Four years ago, Australia’s then-Labour government imposed a national carbon price on its citizens.
Two years later, Australia’s then-Liberal government scrapped the initiative after it took $16 billion out of the economy for income redistribution by the government, helped send electricity prices soaring by 25% and increased the cost of living for consumers on a wide range of goods and services.
(Yeah-16 billion dollars out of their economy and their population is 2/3 of ours so if we got hit the same way it would be about a 24-25 Billion dollar hit for us-allowing for differences in population size!
As Chris Berg, senior fellow of Australia’s free market Institute of Public Affairs told the Toronto Sun’s editorial board Wednesday, carbon pricing proved to be so unpopular with Australians, four of their political leaders lost their jobs because of it — five if you count one of them who lost it twice.
Berg is touring Canada with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation to talk about Australia’s disastrous experience with carbon pricing.
It began with a fixed price on emissions that was supposed to evolve into a cap-and-trade scheme in 2015, but by then it had been killed.
In devising this scheme, the Australian government repeated every mistake of Europe’s 11-year-old cap-and-trade fiasco known as the Emissions Trading Scheme.
This included intending to give free carbon allowances to major industrial greenhouse gas emitters.
(All govts must give out those carbon crap exemptions or lose jobs and no govt can simply watch jobs disappear- so it’s a form of carbon blackmail! Its why General Motors has yet to commit to building anything in Oshawa- in spite of the Oshawa plant having the consistently highest quality rating of any North American plant- GM is simply waiting to see if their carbon credit is in the mail!)
That meant giving huge corporations free public money not to lower their emissions, since free allowances defeat the purpose of cap and trade, which is to put a price on emissions.
This is the same mistake Premier Kathleen Wynne — with Trudeau’s blessing — is about to make when she imposes cap and trade on Ontarians Jan. 1/2017.
Wynne claims this will cost the average family $156 in year one, but her own government’s calculations suggest the real cost will be closer to $400 annually, to start.
(And with Ontari-owe partnered with California in this green carbon crap, our costs will very quickly climb as California has plans to raise the price of carbon credits 10-15 percent per year into the foreseeable future! Ontari-owe LIE-berals will be forced to either ride along on the price escalation or to scrap the green deal they did with California and Quebec-and admit it was a mess from the moment LIE-berals devised the carbon garbage? Who wants to bet that LIE-berals WILL NOT admit any flaw in their grand plan? No matter where the price goes!)
There are a few issues where Canada and Australia differ.
First, Trudeau campaigned on bringing in a national carbon price in last year’s election, while Australia’s then-Labour government imposed it in 2012 after promising it wouldn’t in the 2010 election.
Second, Wynne’s cap and trade scheme, unlike Australia’s, excludes electricity pricing.
(No wonder Wynne-bag exempted electricity- it would be hard to avoid riots in Ontari-owe streets if our electrical file got any further screwed up by LIE-berals! And of course, that which is excluded now can always be taxed later- if LIE-berals manage to cling to power after the 2018 election!)
(Of course the truth of the LIE-beral carbon crap and trade scam that is modeled on the disgraced European model- is that its ONLY SUPPORTERS are civil service Hogs who gave their support to LIE-berals in exchange for “promises of support for the middle class” which is LIE-beral speak for giving more gravy to Hogs! All other Cdns are either openly hostile to Carbon crap and trade or are happily oblivious of what manner of disaster LIE-berals will be hitting us with! But with LIE-beral support drifting at record lows through most of the last year, it seems that the silent majority may have something to say in the next election!)
Third, Canadian carbon pricing will have less of an impact on electricity costs across the country compared to Australia, because it (Australia) gets 70% of its electricity from burning coal, the most carbon intensive fossil fuel, compared to only 11% for Canada.
(Given the amount of nuclear and hydro electric generating capacity along with mouldy green energy Canada has it is NATURAL that we not have a carbon tax on electricity. But of course EVERYTHING RELATED to electricity production-all the wire, tools, machinery, paperwork, workers lives and incomes WILL be affected so there will STILL be heavy INDIRECT influence on electricity prices!)
(And given LIE-beral willingness to BUY union worker votes using electrical generation money as a giant slush fund for their friends, we must expect that our carbon taxes WILL be used to ensure civil service Hogs have NO NEED to curtail THEIR carbon production by giving up their use of gas guzzling toys in places like Muskoka! Nor will they need to buy smaller cars or walk more often or buy smaller and easier to heat houses. They will have ALL the gravy needed to keep their grossly dirty bubble systems operating all winter long at scenic lakes to protect their costly docks from ice damage and they certainly will not have to cut back on their nice holidays flying off at huge environmental cost in the dirtiest of all our inventions- the air plane!)
That said, Trudeau’s carbon pricing scheme will attach an anchor to the Canadian economy because the U.S., our largest trading partner, has no national carbon price nor plans to impose one.
Trudeau’s scheme is really nothing more than an orchestrated cash grab by participating provincial governments, that will only lower emissions to the extent it makes people poorer by raising their cost of living.
Australians learned that the hard way.
Canadians, sadly, are about to find out.
(The LIE-beral carbon crap and trade scam only cleans out wallets and does nothing for the air! The European model has proved this!)
