Sugar Tax, Calorie Tax, Value Added Tax and what else? Politicians looove taxes.
Bureaucracy loves money, while pretending it's for a good cause.

Why would we cut our emmissions and have China and India go up in emissions and remain competative in a global economy; with a large cold/hot country. Trudeau wants to bring in millions of poor people from warm countries and increase our emissions.

So when will we have a piece of Truegropes trust fund?

So.. Saskatchewan has done so well on this, so they modelled after that province. Then go on to say that Ontario has done better on that front than anyone else. Politicians suck. I'm guessing he doesn't have the backing of a single scientist.

Happy to see CBC try and hold two members to the fire. Accountability is key to the future success but it can't be put in unreasonable terms. Why isn't the tax used in active carbon buyouts from new industry? How else can you promote the engineering of carbon re-consolidation?

he just said polluters will have to pay.... so a tax. Basically the same plan in different packaging. It just tricks people into thinking a tax isn’t a tax and then they are happy. People are so easily tricked.

I guess how are we to define who is a 'big emitter' later when the population grows by 45% by 2100?

The air overall is cleaner than it's ever been in our history. How do we think places like England are supposed to be as clean as it is today despite being 10x the population of itself over two centuries ago, when the air was so thick in front of your face you couldn't see 12 inches in front of your face at its absolute worst? People need to have more faith in humanity. Because if it's this clean now, what will it be like in the same period, forwards in time?

No carbon tax needed. We should probably have a tax for the sun rising every day as well, or the Suns heating effects

Roll out electric thermal floors with high insulation, high efficiency, electric vehicles and transportation and continue installing wind and solar renewables with Tesla Powerpack batteries. 100% renewables ASAP please.

IMO, that's a lazy man's target. The previous government was a whole lot greaner

Nice big subsidy to carbon producers provided by the tax payer and a tax to the big offenders, better than a carbon tax. who wants to place bets on the success of this program. Australia did the exact same thing didn't work too well.

What a dumb plan. It doesn't even price in carbon as an externality. I hope we move back to a carbon tax.

The people who don't want a carbon tax should be made to pay for the repairs from natural disasters, that are so much stronger due to our inaction.
