I prefer a carbon tax to cap and trade so let's go PCs!

If Ontario PCs win the election, expect an imposed carbon tax

You prefer the carbon tax in the absence of any proven scientific evidence whatever. It is known as the Eddy Minimum mentalfloss and your preaching for that carbon tax scam if enacted will actually cost the lives of many trusting but uninformed Canadians just like you. Or do you have the inside scoop and just shill for the elite murderers whose stated goal is population control with the certain result of abject slavery for every human resident of this planet?

This would all make sense if Harper and the conservatives had not taken years of debt reduction and turned it around and piled more debt on us.

The facts, as is always the case, are against the so-called fiscal conservatives.

They are the worst tax and spend politicians of them all.

But that isn't why young don't vote for them. Young people don't vote for them because their ideology is so hopeless.
Do your rose color glasses show a green sky ?

Lets say the Carbon tax is scrapped. How much is the average family going to save anyway?

It isn't about average family. Any tax always unfairly targets those slightly up the tax scale. Natives are exempt and in this case the poor get a refund because their carbon usage doesn't pollute. Also exports are exempt because fossil fuels burned in other countries does not emit GHGs.

It is also a tax on working , especially in rural areas. We have no natural gas for heat or taxpayer subsidized transportation. Currently I drive over 200k for work every day so my tax burden just to earn a living will be quite high.

Delingpole: Michael Mann Wins Prestigious Science Award. No, This Is Not a Joke…



The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has given its prestigious award for Public Engagement with Science to climate scientist, Michael E. Mann.
No, this is not a joke – though it should be.
That’s Michael Mann as in the creator of possibly the most discredited artefact in climate science history: the ludicrous, fabricated “Hockey Stick.”
That’s Michael Mann, the litigious activist and vexatious Twitter troll who dismisses any scientist who disagrees with him as a “denier”; who was exposed in the Climategate emails trying to ruin the careers of his opponents and attempting to shut down the journals who published them.
