"But what would they do instead? It’s not clear yet. They have suggested they want to target large emitters and make them carry a bigger burden than consumers when it comes to cutting greenhouse gases. But that means taking on the oil and gas industry, which is also a key source of support for the party.

Having ruled out anything that looks like a carbon tax, the Conservatives have fewer tools than the Liberals to push aggressively for a low-carbon economy. Yelling at Liberals won’t close the gap."

You do realize the Carbon Tax really doesn't do anything. It has not reduce CO2 and will not. In fact CO2 has gone up. Some countries have by technicality reduced their CO2 because they started importing natural gas from Russia. CO2 is calculated at the source so Russia goes up while another country goes down. In fact only one country has actually reduce their CO2 and that is the US.

Our Co2 tax is just a piggy bank for Trudeau.

The OP hit the nail right on the head.The only thing i would add is-it is a TRAGIC joke ,for many.

"All"would accept the Lockdown -it it would apply to "all".
And that is where Doug screwed up .Many forgot or it is not "interesting 'anymore-or just a commonplace, where certain groups get full pay to stay home and almost -literally DO NOTHING.
Many businesses see and feel the effect of the closure-while the next business is flourishing.
Becasue they are "essential".
OR SO SOMEONE decided ,in their might.

Sad indeed.

That line in bold is by far, the issue I have. This is not a natural economic downturn, it's man made, "self" inflicted. Forced on about 30% of the population. Some are now calling for the "Australian model". I say fine, because at least then almost everyone is going to feel the pain. Lose jobs, income, and more will lose significant savings, and more their homes. I bet more people, get on board right fast.......Especially those that haven't lost a single nights sleep, let a lone a single dollar.

Alternatively ( see below article), we actually compensate those paying the prices. And we actually offset the cost ( rather than pass the buck onto our grandchildren). You know, take responsibilty for choices, own them and raise taxes and government revenue to help off set the cost, and adequately compensate people. I bet that too, would get people on board fast. That old expression, put your money where your mouth is. And for all those public servants, pay cuts. They too can feel and share the pain and help offset the cost and help those being thrown overboard.


Brian Lilley has a decent article in today's Sun on the rumors of stricter lockdowns.

The fact, none of the above, not even a hint has been enacted, speaks volumes. I suppose all those champions of the working class, all those, who during good times have so much to say about equality, inequity and more. Sing good tunes, until such time it actually matters, and it's time to put up.


Loved this sound byte.

“If that’s the case, be clear and give them compensation,” Greenhill says of businesses forced to close.

10 months too late...

Another Lilley article calling spades spades.

Have any of these people — and let’s include the doctors, nurses and hospital CEOs — demanding even harsher lockdowns had to worry about their finances during this entire crisis? Have any of them ever gotten to the end of the day worried about how to feed their kids and keep the lights on and gone to bed thankful that they made it another day but not sure about tomorrow?
