When you got religion you don't need science.

Just another carbon tax scam. How is cleaning up the air in Mexico going to help Canada?

The deal is Ontario can pollute more if the pay off some Mexican company...probably owned by Wynne or her life-partner and their buddies

Mexico is going to have to pay for the wall somehow. :)

Maybe Canadian weapons manufacturer/mega project manager SNC-Lavlin can build and arm it using imported cement and dirty Chinese steel/stainless steel rebar, razor wire, land mines and electric fencing which are free of carbon taxes unlike Canadian cement, steel and nickel.

Being outside the "carbon tax/cap n'trade formula" it would be emissions free according to flosshole.

Unions like Unifor that invest in the auto companies that moved south that once employed their members.

Now they can rape Mexicans for dues.

So Ontario industry (whatever hasn't already sought out more profitable shores) will be taxed by Mexico in Wynne's windmill scam - but they won't relocate to Mexico. Don't Bogart, dopey.... Let us all in on the buzz!

It will ultimately reduce pollution and emissions, but not as effectively as a carbon tax.

It's a miracle. Quebec and Ontario usually don't agree on anything. It takes a manage-a-trois, apparently.

A carbon tax will increase my pollution. I will burn wood and paper products.

AND, as the cost to fuel my pickup truck goes up, I will no longer be able to own a second - gas sipping commuter - vehicle. The extra insurance and maintainance costs will go towards my practical vehicle not a useless fart can that can barely move driver and passengers.

None of those have reduced sh*t. The fact you keep repeating this nonsense is indicative of a person incapable of free, independent thought.
Look at gasoline. In 25 years the price has increased by around 400% in Canada and yet there are more ICE vehicles on the road than ever before.

The only way this scheme can work is by pricing and taxing things to the point where the bulk of the population simply can't afford them.
The Wynned sock is doing just that with hydro rates. $500/mo hydro bills when it's not even winter is criminal. Considering that ONLY 25% of a hydro bill is based on actual hydro usage, well, the only word for it is theft. I mean if you're so gung-ho about this, well I sure hope you send the Wynned sock an extra $75 every time you put $25 worth of gas in your car, otherwise you're just another mealy-mouthed sh*tpump leftard who talks a mean game but refuses to cash the cheques your mouth is writing.

Which is as it should be. Let's do the numbers, shall we?

Let's say you own a medium-size pickup truck, say 22 miles per gallon. You decide that, in order to be a nice, environmentally-concerned bleeding heart, you're going to buy an electric BMW i3 and drive it everywhere you don't actually need the hauling capacity of the truck.

The Beemer gets an effective mpg of 124. For ease of calculation, let's say it's 100 mpg more fuel-economical than the truck.

Now, let's set the price of gas at $US 3.00/gal. That means driving 12,000 miles per year (about average) in the pickup costs $US 1636.

Let's say you drive 8000 miles per year in the BMW, and 4000 in yer twuck. Now your total equivalent fuel cost is $US 545 for your twuck, and $US 194 for the BMW, total of &US 739.

Yay, you! You're saving nine hundred bucks a year.

A BMW i3 costs 42K.

Soooo. . . assuming that price is a reasonable reflection of the resources (including pollution) that go into manufacturing the vehicle (which is basic economics), let's knock off profit and snob value and say the BMW causes $US 30K worth of terrible environmental effects, and saves you $US 900 per year in terrible environmental effects.

That means you'd only have to drive the BMW for 33 years for your fuel efficiency to offset the pollution and resource cost of producing it.

Probably more environmentally friendly just to dwive the twuck.

What a gigantic waste of money for provinces increasingly in the throws of economic dissolution.

How's that squalid little dyke, Wynne, going to pay for these useless 'carbon credits', a massive racket .. by selling off the crown jewels of the provinces public assets.. Ontario Hydro, its roads, lands, forests, resources.. hopelessly mortgaging its future. It shows you how corrosive homosexuality is to the reason, replacing it with reliance sentiment drenched ideological pseudo sciences.. like AGW.

I'm sure she'll be history by the next election.. but i wonder what will be left of the province by the time she gets through ransacking it.
