Give it up Vassy 70% of Canadians are against Trudeau, and his inflationary Carbon tax. We all still need to drive and heat our homes. To live in this country

[denaverdin]

His tax does nothing to help the climate.

[shine]

We Canadians are calling you Trudeau out for all the scams endlessly on Canadians

[kylegrant]

Canada is in big trouble with this guy in charge.

I own a home, I own a car , the idea that I don't want maximize my fuel costs is absurd . I do not need the government to punish me to lower my basic fuel use to heat my home and go to work . I do not get more back as a middle income earner and a single parent !

Never heard an interviewer voice their opinion so much. Liberal mouthpiece. It's pretty obvious.

[OGKringles]

so why does a country that produces less than 1.5% of the worlds greenhouse emissions have to cut back on carbon for the countries that produce 27%? Furthermore the carbon tax increases everything else we have to buy for because they pay the tax too.

[jamessykes]

Remember this is an NDP/liberal policy, both parties need to be removed.

[dwaynehanson]

Scrap the carbon tax and stop dividing Canadians and the rightful land holders..

[frankstevens-yp]

A liar calling canadians a liar ... imagine

[MikeRilstone]

Cost of living crisis? No problem. Let’s raise taxes!

[airborne_v]

Awful just insanely bad
Stop this NDP liberal bloc coalition to stop taxing

[jeanie]

I don’t know anyone that believes a word that comes out of Trudeau’ mouth!!!

[smokeskull]

I keep my house temperature as low as possible but i am billed a flat rate of carbon tax that is more than the actual gas i use.

[grantharding]

It's obvious that the Liberal gift to mainstream press has paid off for them

[Donnie-shmd]

Nothing is controversial about the carbon tax. It's seen as a policy pushed by the liberal coalition, viewed by some as a means of enforcing compliance rather than truly addressing environmental concerns.

[birsay]

Is this reporter a spokesperson for the Liberals?

[sharpshooter]

Keep in mind that you pay tax on top of the carbon tax.

[alexrode]

Proud of this premier for her answers in the face of such critical reporting

[blakeupham]

We already pay nearly half our income in income tax, then we pay sales tax on the things we buy, then property tax on our properties! The carbon tax is such a small piece of the daily theft we are used to. Sham on the government period!
