Many. I can think of a couple on my own block, and a couple more that will probably not be there by spring due to fire, & a few garages within 200 feet of my house.
Trudeau’s Newest New Carbon Tax
- Thread starter Ron in Regina
- Start date
My hood is no different, maybe worse.
It's well know shelters and housing corps refuse drunks, smokers and junkies and blacklist those who have violated the rules.
Ice fishing tents are as far as I'm willing to support those types.
Blue Hydrogen and U238. Two home grown resources in abundance. They are the answer to big bucks and emissions issues. It's a no brainer.
Blue hydrogen is a type of hydrogen that is produced from natural gas using a process called steam methane reforming (SMR) and carbon capture and storage (CCS):
- Production: Natural gas is combined with heated water to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
- Carbon capture and storage: The carbon dioxide produced is captured and stored underground using CCS.
- Description: Blue hydrogen is sometimes called "low-carbon hydrogen" because the carbon emissions are not released into the atmosphere. However, some say that "low carbon" is a more accurate description because 10-20% of the carbon cannot be captured.
The energy industry uses different colors to differentiate between types of hydrogen. Other colors include:
- Brown: Made from brown coal (lignite)
- Pink: Made using nuclear power
- Yellow: Made using solar power or a mix of energy sources from the electrical grid
- Turquoise: Made using methane pyrolysis
- White: Naturally occurring geological hydrogen
The process always strips sulphur from the fuel into a value added by product.
Blue hydrogen can happen overnight in industry terms.
Existing vehicles, home heating, cooking can be converted for cheap.

Carney and the Liberals must be overjoyed that on Friday most of the mainstream media joined the Team Carney campaign when they reported that Carney, through cabinet decree, had killed the “consumer carbon tax” in his first act as prime minister, without explaining what that means.
When Carney announced his intentions for the consumer carbon tax on Jan. 31, even the Carney campaign appeared confused about what it was doing.
The headline on the press release didn’t say Carney was killing the consumer carbon tax, as so obediently reported by most media on Friday.
What it said was: “Mark Carney presents plan for change on consumer carbon tax” while the text said, a “Mark Carney-led government will immediately remove the consumer carbon tax and instead, create a system of incentives to reward Canadians for making greener choices …”
We don’t yet know how Carney’s new “system” will work – other than that it will fold the consumer carbon tax into what Carney says will be an “improved and tightened” industrial carbon tax known as the Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS) for large, industrial emitters that he will extend by five years until 2035.
According to Carney – and again the details have yet to be released – this new system will target “big polluters” without any explanation so far of how it will prevent them from passing along their increased costs to the public in higher prices because of the increased production costs they will face.
On the face of it, Carney’s plan for the consumer carbon tax is to turn it into a hidden tax compared to what the Liberals used to refer to not as the “consumer carbon tax” but as the “fuel charge rates” to Canadian households for 22 forms of fossil fuel energy, including gasoline and natural gas.
Fuel charge rates were (???) scheduled to increase April 1 when Canada’s carbon price was set to increase by 18.75% from $80 per tonne of industrial greenhouse gas emissions to $95 per tonne, on the way to $170 per tonne in 2030.
(With a 19% hike coming April 1, now former Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said they aren’t quite sure how to pull off Mark Carney’s promise without passing legislation, reports Blacklock’s Reporter)

So, Carney’s new carbon pricing system will apparently be less transparent than the one he’s replacing, where the annual costs of consumer carbon pricing were publicly available on government websites.
In addition, Carney plans to create a new carbon tax known as a “carbon border adjustment mechanism,” during a trade war with our largest trading partner that doesn’t have a carbon tax? I wonder how ‘that’ will go over (?) or make life more affordable for Canadians???

“I’m optimistic about sustainability and the road to net zero in the sense that it provides an opportunity to realign our social values and value in the market,” he said in a 2021 interview with Strategy+Business. He supported instilling “values-based leadership, to drive this transformation” as well as “effective governance and policy, by leveraging the social solidarity we saw develop over the pandemic.” Is this a Trudeau quote or a Carney quote or a Trudeau through Carney quote?

Liberal government unsure how to repeal April 1 carbon tax hike
Ministers aren't exactly clear on how to fulfill the incoming PM's promise of axing the consumer carbon tax

The new boss is just as obsessed with taxing and regulating Canadians as a solution to climate change
BUT…did he really, with parliament prorogued?
Canada doesn’t have executive orders, & an order in council can’t do this, so what has he really done? Is it smoke&mirrors? CBC (& a few others) claim he’s already done this though?
Mark Carney’s first act as a prime minister of Canada was to lie to the Canadian people. That may seem like a bold allegation, but there are no two ways about it.
Carney held a cabinet meeting, invited the TV cameras in and held a Trump-style executive order signing that was nothing but a charade.
TV cameras aren’t normally allowed into Canadian cabinet meetings, but Carney — just hours after being sworn in as PM — invited the media to watch him sign away the consumer carbon tax.
“Based on the discussion we’ve had, and consistent with the promise that I made and others supported, we will be eliminating the Canada Fuel Charge, the consumer fuel charge, immediately,” Carney said.
Immediately after that, Carney signed a document as if his signature wiped away the hated tax???
To actually do away with the consumer portion of the carbon tax, but not the carbon tax completely, would require an act of Parliament. The Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act was passed in 2018 and allows the Governor in Council, meaning cabinet advising the Governor General, to adjust the tax rate, but not do away with it.
That’s the first lie Carney and the Liberals told on the carbon tax.
After telling us for years that anyone who opposed the tax wanted the planet to burn, the Liberals quickly threw their party’s signature policy overboard to try and regain some popularity. The second lie they told is just as bad: The document that Carney signed on Friday in front of the cameras was useless.

Prime ministers are not presidents: They don’t issue orders like this; they don’t have the power to do so. It’s not just a matter of optics, no PM has the legal authority to do what Carney tried to make you think he did.
Yet there he was, just hours after invoking the history of Canada, the importance of the Crown, the Governor General, the importance of the differences in Canadian versus American democratic institutions and he was mimicking Donald Trump. There is no other way to interpret what Carney was trying to do other than an a brazen attempt to use the Trump optics of signing an executive order to show that he is just as powerful.
Unless we're already the 51st State....Governors can issue executive orders.
Wink wink.
