Canada has 990-million acres of forests, 370-million acres of wetlands and 167-million acres of crop yielding farmland. These are known as "carbon sinks". Biologists tell us that trees absorb about 2.6 tons of carbon per acre. So if you do the math 990-million acres x 2.6 tonnes per acre = 2.574 billion tons of carbon being absorbed every year. Now if you do more math: 36-trillion tones {the amount of world emission}x 0.0167 (1.67%) = 601.2-million tones. -- This is the amount of carbon that Canada contributes to the world emissions.-- In the forests alone, Canada absorbs almost four times the amount of carbon that it emits. This means that the other three quarters of our forests are being sustained by carbon being emitted by the rest of the world. This calculation does not take into account the wetland or farmland that also absorb carbon. Canada really couldn't get any greener, so why are our politicians hell bent on punishing us with these ridicules carbon taxes? If the media were honest this information would be made public. Repost this wherever you can!

It's great to see that Andrew Scheer's priority is the Carbon tax, and protecting jobs - how about protecting Canadians from Liberals.
When will the CBC run a headline like this?
Question Period: The Candian led UN Global Compact on Migration, Illegal immigration, and the Islamization of Canada.
What's sad is after this circus, Andrew Scheer and Justin Trudeau will meet back stage shaking hands and congratulating eachother for sticking to the talking points.

The Canadian salaries and bonuses are not disclosed, but I am sure that through the last bailout that cost taxpayers billions of dollars to save jobs, that the executives did not suffer any financial loss. I imagine that if one had the ability to dig up information, we might find some bonuses given from our tax dollars as well. And ten years later, here we are again.

Its unfortunate what has taken place in with GM closing their Oshawa Plant. I write with concern for all the workers to be retrenched in Oshawa. All i have to offer the GM mgt, the Union and all our innocent workers to be laid off are my timely messages of hope, life, encouragement, inspiration and motivation etc. Access my Youtube timely messages with rev. waldensmith. My prayers are with you all

[jasoncrouzat]

I think we need another government one that can act efficiently and one that's for Canadians built by Canadians for the people by the people bernier if you're listening you're the man for that job
