The more money that is given to any level of government means the debt will climb.

Governments exist to grow larger. More people on the payroll. More taxes to levy. More waste and more slop. No worries, the next government (or ten) will have to deal with it.

REad your link. The recession is in the last two Quarters. THat is the time we have been suffering under trudOWE.

The recession was during Harper's term last year.

It happened entirely under his watch.

"Like" is not the right word
If the provinces don't "like" it, like we don't "like" eating rat poison,
That makes the provinces bad?

Of course it was inherited from Harper, but Trudeau is just doing the things you need to do
to destroy it even further...so the globalists can suck up all the good stuff for a song

Canadians don't just like this idea.

They love it.


National price on carbon a crucial part of building policy to curb emissions

According to an Abacus poll done last month, less than one third of Canadians oppose the introduction of a carbon tax as part of a larger climate change strategy. An overwhelming majority of non-Conservative voters support or could accept such a measure.

It is a rare tax that finds favour with a majority in the public especially on the heels of decade-long concerted federal effort to vilify the concept. According to Abacus, the rhetoric expended by Harper’s government on making a carbon levy politically toxic even fell on the deaf ears of almost four in 10 Conservative voters.

It just doesn't make sense to be robbing the people who have to prepare for what's coming so the elite can build an Ark at our expense. Let 'em freeze, parboil and starve with the rest of us

more thunderous applause from Mentalfloss.

One-on-one with Stephen McNeil | Nova Scotia | Halifax, Nova Scotia | THE COAST

Other provinces are on board with carbon pricing but Nova Scotia is not. What’s wrong with implementing a carbon tax?

We have a carbon price already embedded into our electricity rates now. We have the most expensive electricity in the country, and part of that is because of our investment in renewables—the sole purpose of that was the reduction of our carbon footprint, to get us off coal-fired energy. We had a competent program that was working and which provided fairly expensive renewable energy, but allowed us to reduce our coal output...I might add we are leading the country in terms of our [greenhouse gas] reductions.

Clearly Mentalfloss is not interested in actual reductions. Mentalfloss, when did the envirement become an opportunity to scam taxpayers money? Or have you always been this obtuse?

SK sells CO2 and farmers sequester 1.6t net per acre per year.

BC and AB ding people $30 per t.

At $30 a t will I be cashing in on my $144K+ worth sequestered per year in taxpayers's hard earned money?
