What is the date that the carbon tax will have solved the problem?
If this government was truly worried about carbon or pollution from oil products, they would not be expanding the Alberta oil production. All that oil that they sell will go to some other countries that pollution standards are less then ours or don't even exist....
with one side of his mouth he says we must use less, the other side of his mouth says we must sell more, which is it......
It does not reduce anything, it simply moves the cost to the end user.
Trudeau removed the tax incentive to use public transit, that incentive was larger for a 12 month user of public transit than his crappy rebate on his carbon tax.
You cannot use less carbon when you have no other option. Public transit rates have gone up due to the tax. Home heating rates have gone up due to the tax. Municipal taxes have gone up due to the tax (think garbage collection and road maintenance). There is no possible way for the average person to do anything to offset the cost that is downgraded to them by this tax, buying a Prius does not cut it, hell, moving to the city and walking everywhere does not cut it, you will still be paying the tax on every single thing in your life.
I just want to know how this carbon tax is going to reduce Canada's carbon emission in a meaningful way. I mean, that's what it's there for, right?
I guess Loblaws will be voting liberal ...
