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
His tax does nothing to help the climate.
I don't agree with the tax cause I am broke, and we're in a cost of living crises, but that's not altogether true.
@@Mrs.Currie If you're broke, you're most likely going to make more back on the rebate. That's how the tax is set up to work. It costs more to those who choose to drive excessively, etc.
@@joelface Yup excessive driving......like those trucks from Vancouver delivering fod to your grocery stores? You know.....the food that keeps going up in price...
The carbon tax helps pay for the raises they just gave themselves.
@@TheWolfsnack Spoken as if electric vehicles don't exist.
Canada is in big trouble with this guy in charge.
I said that in 2015 .
Nothing wrong with Canada. Either you hate JT or not.
The only ones that don’t hate him are paid for
@@user-je6cy3pu3u Yup
@@Le_Frenchy There is somthing very wrong with Canada,it's called quebec.
Never heard an interviewer voice their opinion so much. Liberal mouthpiece. It's pretty obvious.
Extremely obvious!
Justin wrote the questions himself
Justin can't write but can act. Pretty simple all provinces have a tax on fuel. Federal government has an excise tax of 10 cents since 1995. They never take it off. Alberta does depends on oil price. Plus all tax goes back to Alberta. VASSEY slept with Trudeau according to close friends.
Vassey is so BIASED. Danielle would wise to cut the provincial gas tax until the carbon tax comes off
Hahaha. My thoughts exactly!!!
Cost of living crisis? No problem. Let’s raise taxes!
well he is getting a $10000 raise starting tomorrow! no problem for him
He’s also increasing immigration many from third world countries increasing the overall footprint he’s sabotaging our country. He wants it to be impossible to meet his goals.
Well, smith is raising taxes herself as well for no reason
Yes, that's the Libs' solution to everything!
Should everything be same pricecrught across Canada without no kicbaxks
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 !
Seems like you are being penalized to earn more and have saved your marriage. Not sure what government is promoting?
A liar calling canadians a liar ... imagine
Who Danielle? Yes she is a liar.
@lizliz4186 not she is not but Trudeau fir sure
@lizliz4186 what's your favorite flavor of crayon Einstein?
@@lizliz4186Any facts to back your post bot? Prove she is a liar. Which you wont be able to.
@@billybowbob2071why attack the person? Because your argument sucks.
No one is getting more money back than what they pay for carbon tax this interviewer has no idea wake up girl
The interviewer is a paid shill for Trudeau. Obviously she's going to defend his policies. She's just delulu for doing it.
I sure am. Absolutely more. I get about $1400 a year.
The way he speaks is so cringe
Yep. I can't even look at him when he speaks anymore.🤮🤮🤮
This host seems horned up for the tax hike ?
Would you believe that’s educated speaking?
@@DR-nw7xn Government pays her wages so she better tow the line.
@@johncowper7982He knows many Canadians think like five year olds.
I don’t know anyone that believes a word that comes out of Trudeau’ mouth!!!
Millions of delusional voters out there... they need to be converted to reality.
We Canadians are calling you Trudeau out for all the scams endlessly on Canadians
Is this reporter a spokesperson for the Liberals?
YES VASSEY is pro Justin
Liberal reporters are more likely to draw attention to their cleavage crack with a heart necklace yes. You can clearly see the premier in contrast is putting on display her class and wisdom. Calling out the hollow Carbon scheme.
Her salary is paid, in part, by the federal government.
They all are. You don't bite the hand that feeds you... corrupt to the core.
You realize Trudeau owns the news, yes? That's why Polivier wants to refund news stations. The liberals have bought them.
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.
because Trudeau needs your money.
Because your use of cheap products produced in the higher emitting countries drive their demand and therefore emissions. There's no more individualism with a globalized economy.
Straight up money laundering. Like SNC Lavalin
Because per capita we’re way higher than many other countries.🙄
We’re #2 in per capita emissions, being inline with climate targets also drives investment as corporations have zero emissions goals as well.
Remember this is an NDP/liberal policy, both parties need to be removed.
JT is 🤡
NO A PIG..
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.
Buy a wood stove
@bq6162 wood is expensive too! Though I love my fireplace.
@@bq6162Check out the insurance on that subject sunshine.
The rebate should make up for the tax if you're being careful with your usage, no?
@@joelface No. How? Do things magically appear in your fridge? Do you transport to work via unicorn? It's a tax on everything.
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.
They need more money to embezzle.
Pretty much. Bingo.
Awful just insanely bad
Stop this NDP liberal bloc coalition to stop taxing
Do you have a problem with the MPs, elected by Canadians to sit in the House of Commons, deciding which political party or parties will govern the country? If so then why?
The last time there was a confidence vote in the House, the MPs showed they have confidence in the current government.
Just an fyi if the next election sees Conservatives in the same position as Liberals are now, they would gladly accept an NDP/Conservative front to pass what they want. This Carbon Tax is useless unless our Carbon emissions stop at our borders and donit allow the countries who don't care about emissions to stop from coming into Canada!!! Is that how this Carbon Tax is supposed to work or is it just another money grab??
@@charleyrobertson4663 not one Canadian voted for an NDP/LIBERAL coalition!
I mean this interview is about a conservative government raising taxes but um ok.
These Coalitions Have sold out their Voters and they will all pay the price together for their treasoness Behaviors . The Voters See This Clearly Now
They're trying to change Canadians's behavior? Like..don't heat your home? Disgusting.
Why are they trying to change our behavior when their behavior is clearly the more important issue that needs addressing?
They already have made life so expensive the basic things are all most can afford anyway so why add on a carbon tax when he’s already artificially suppressing the economy with rampant immigration and government programs.
Keep in mind that you pay tax on top of the carbon tax.
The UCP is adding a 4 cent per litre gas tax April 1st as well.
@@The_Freezin_Stevena long existing tax that pays for our roads. What's your point? What does the carbon tax go towards that makes your daily life better?
Which is illegal, so how is no one stopping him from implementing this carbon tax??? It's illegal to tax a tax.
@@The_Freezin_Stevenbecause the price of oil is below $80/barrel. Once it goes above that the tax is removed
Prove to me carbon taxes can reduce emissions. Canada is a cold climate we need home heat
They already have, by 8-10% according to the auditor general.
Prove to me that “emissions” are causing warming.
@@squatch545 That is from enhanced efficiencies in industry, has nothing to do with individuals use of gas cars.
its common sense if you would actually learn about how it works. It doesnt seem like youve done that.
@@squatch545this sounds made up
Justin trudeau needs to resign!!!
Needs to be held accountable.
Fraudsters don't resign, we have to fire him. There's got to be a way.
He's a dictator. There is only one way a dictator "steps down."
What's with his obsession with climate change while travelling in his personal jet all the time is beyond me
Because he can and you can’t. And everyone knows who pays for all his private jet trips
he doesn't have a personal jet, it is a government plane used only for prime ministers
It's beyond you that he's the leader of a G7 nation?
hypocrisy. do as I say, not as I do
Justin has ruined Canada
Forest fires and extreme weather events are what is ruining Canada.
Let's wait until after this year's forest fire season to have the carbon tax election.
Absolutely destroyed. Not even recognizable any longer
There is no doubt on, reduce student entry but no cap on refugees which is real burden to the country
@@nv5854 I was in some parts of Ontario and it was a refreshing sight of some what Canada. I then came back to my hometown zoo which is Montreal.
Canada is fine .
Is this "reporter" interviewing or debating?
I would loooove a debate where Smith actually asks questions back.
There are no journalists. Its all activists
She's a freaking liberal and should not have that job. She would never throw these type of questions at her boy toy Trudeau!
Look at Freeland twitching
She obviously has some issues
Agreed. 😂 overhyped?
cocaine is a hell of a drug
She's the ventriloquist.
You pretty much have to be CRAZY to be a liberal!
Nose candy
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!
modern day serfdom and getting worse!
You are tax cattle. Thats all you are to them
Don't forget interest (and we don't get any government services in return)
The Super Alberta Premier is educating individuals, wake up Canada
😂 she’s a LIAR
She's a liar and conspiracy theorist nut job. But then, s/he takes their orders from David Packer and the TBA high school dropouts so, no surprise.
It's obvious that the Liberal gift to mainstream press has paid off for them
Not just the initial $1.5 Billion, but they also get all the "Gov't. advertising", that adds up to a lot.
@@woolyhighlander7280and donations from the liberals
Freeland in the background tweeking on meth
easy smokey,,lol
‘Freebase Freeland’
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha, exactly what I am thinking
There is something definitely wrong with Crackhead Freeloader.
From day 1,it's always been a con job with this guy
Proud of this premier for her answers in the face of such critical reporting
Actual answers to questions asked and not just “we fight for Canadians “
Scrap the carbon tax and stop dividing Canadians and the rightful land holders..
This reporter is just spewing Liberal talking points. How does paying more taxes magically reduce carbon emissions? She’s ridiculous
Its not about tbe climate, its about the pockets they want to fill for their pension, before getting kicked out
It's more about advancing the marxist control of economic production.
Yah cause inheriting millions of dollars isn’t enough and having 8 years of power and increasing his net worth ten fold isn’t enough either. SMH. Never enough for some.
The globe climate won’t see any effect even if the entire Canada stop breathing.
Try it. Let's see.
Omg, Justin Trudeau 😅 the biggest liar on the planet 😅😅
Absolutely he was
Funny he talks about ideological stances being that he is the biggest liar driven along ideological lines
no you are… nah nah nah nah nah
absolutely
don't forget Canada puts out 1.4 percent of all carbon emissions and we are big and cold.
Canadians are literally being punished for heating their homes because they have no choice.
where do we stand per capita?
@@shiftymenno Are we counting Trudeau's vacations ?
@@5thelementcannabisproduction has he taken more vacations than conservative PMs in the past?
LOL He's Full Of It I Wonder How You Manage To Run A Country With No Guts No Sense No Respect Not Trusted By Your Clients. How Do You Lead You Can't Even Manage A Household .
What is the deal with Freeland, no seriously 😂
She's Trudeau's new bobblehead
Danielle is one of the smartest politicians in Canada today And thankfully she looking after Alberta interests
How so? By letting Australian mining companies mine for coal in our natural water supply? By driving doctors and nurses out of the province and giving health care transfer payments to oil executives?
Nutley Crew started the damage 4yrs ago,,,, did nothing,,,totatally useless,,like anyone who supports the Liberal & NDP parties,,,,
By also raising taxes
Yeah im no fan of the liberals but Smith is a liar and devoid of any integrity whatsoever.
@@TT-fq7plcoal is essential to a modern industrial economy, I.e. the metallurgical coal mined in Alberta. There is no such thing as a free lunch... even for the Liberals and NDP.
Bravo Premier Smith! 👏
I’ve never seen a liberal pressed like this by Vassey 😢 my poor broken Canada 🇨🇦
Canada is just fine
She does it all the time she did it against the environment minister/activist
I’m not familiar with this interviewer but her questions and point of view seems very slanted, however they were handled very well by Smith. Typical interviewer who just didnt hear what she wanted. Do you think shes a liberal?
@paulsmegal2867 No its not. Completely fakd up. You work for the government don't you?
Vassey is one of the very few mainstream reporters that I enjoy. She presses each side equally and makes them answer difficult questions. I find that when someone is not trying to pull the wool over your eyes that they are able to answer these questions quite well. Premier Smith did an excellent job and I believe the this interview helped her cause
It's not controversial. We all love getting screwed.
Fires not climate crisis. Arson crisis.
I never got any money back.
that’s what happens when you don’t do your taxes
Do your taxes
I know I've received more from the carbon refund than I paid in tax at the pump. Maybe your earnings are over the limit?
Me either.
@@influenza99 you wouldn't recive more back if you had to pay utilities on a house.
Who is this reporter. Shut the front door
She's a b*tch against both sides.
Well said, Danielle! Finally a politician that speaks the truth and isn't interested in virtue signalling.
I like my home unchanged. Natural gas stove, natural gas furnace and natural gas hot water heater.
Climate change climate emergencies are just how does he say misinformation and disinformation.
Smith: taxed will be used for building/ maintaining roads
Liberals: tax will be used for 'curbing behaviour'
🤔
SMITH: Tax will really be given to the Oil and Gas sector… or to my friend and lover Tucker
You got that backwards.
Or did you Forget that Smith is trying to create a private police force that answers directly to the provincial offices?
I wish she'd put the transfer payments for health care into health care instead of into the pockets of the Big Oil execs.
She should not play along with this nonsense at all!!
She absolutely should. It is important to answer these questions. She articulated an actual answer to every question. The reporter sounded ridiculous pressing points she has clearly lost. The only change I would like the reporter to answer smith’s questions. She acknowledged the lack of alternatives is in fact acknowledging the tax doesn’t work. When has Trudeau ever answered the question he was asked. He’s amazing at running his mouth while saying nothing.
FJT and the liberals party and NDP
If that's what turns you on then go for it.
Just be sure you're up for it and that it is consensual.
@carollehince8472 love the acronym you used "FJT" ...
The federal did in fact say it was punitive
20 Billion collect and 18 Billion paid out. Not to include the billions collected in GST on top of the CT.
stay strong we albertans support you
Vassey really want to be a liberal senator just like Mike Duffy is
lol she holds everyone's feet to the fire. When she is able to have reps from all parties, she's critical of all of them.
She's one of the few journalists that grills all politicians equally. I can respect that. That's how it's supposed to be done
@@candybonhomme5915 Yes! Every time I see her interview a politician its pretty great. Probably the best Canadian journalist out there right now.
@@jare3959 except your feet get burnt.
@@candybonhomme5915 lol
CARBON IS NOT A POLLUTANT, THERE'S NO CLIMATE CRISIS, WHEN THE PLANET COMES OUT OF ICE AGE, THE CLIMATE WARMS.... PREVIOUS WARM PERIODS WERE TIMES OF PROSPERITY AND INCREASED FOOD PRODUCTION
The objective of the carbon tax is to exert psin on the Canadian citizenry.
Pure and simple.
If Trudeau et al were serious about carbon reduction, then they'd conduct their international COP meetings via Zoom.
Affect your behavior. What I hear is I'm going to charge you cash so you do what I tell you!
Jug met is the problem
Climate change adaptation should be the focus. We cannot affect the climate enough to prevent weather extremes, floods, and fires. It is arrogant to think otherwise.
I call it climate resilience… we build houses and built fires not to freeze to death… back to the days of cows and plow to starve the nation!
@@user-je6cy3pu3uyetnext time wildfire who goingblame
Such biased reporting
It's always been easier to slam the little guy and working class. Daniel is right, industrial emissions need to be the focus for reduction.
Very bad idea to further hamstring our industries, remember, farming is an industry!
Who's Daniel?
I love how he when Trudeau talks badly about someone, it's actually he's talking about himself!
A great leader for Alberta.
Not a leader and does not work for Alberta. S/he works for Take Back Alberta.
when do we take what out forests scrub into account??
Danielle Smith is refreshing to listen to. She has logic along with compassion. And she doesn't have to gasp for air between every few words like Trudeau

Compassion? Logic? Are you drunk?
Our PM should be in Jail.
Don’t worry come 2025 Trudeau says being unpopular doesn’t bother him. The citizens of Canada 🇨🇦 will let him know how popular he really is.
Trudeau is above the law. The RCMP will never investigate or prosecute a sitting Prime Minister.
... But Smith is literally doing the same increase. Effectively doubling/matching it. Why is it only jailable for Trudeau?
Our Premier should be in a woman's prison filled with trans women.
@@jare3959 Trudeau will never be arrested or investigated by the RCMP. He is literally above the law.
Angry Premiers STORM Parliament To CHALLENGE Trudeau! - RUclips
my natural gas bill for March in Alberta, $ 230.00 , Delivery Charge $ 25.67, Delivery Charge Variable $ 18.90 , Rate Riders $ 25.61, Town of Strathmore Franchise fee $ 24.12 , Federal Carbon Tax $ 64.38GST $7.39,, half my fees are bogus as well as the government fees, this has gone to far Trudeau
Vassey back this week after getting trained on her speaking points from the PMO.
lol lol lol
Energy and food and everything else will become unaffordable
I think Australia tried this and it was a disaster
Danielle is legendary
How? Any politician who’s raising tax when Canadians pay literally tens of percentage points in total tax higher than we should be, isn’t my idea of a legend. They’re all loser.
I love her. She could be and should be PM after PP or deputy for PP. That would be incredible
Sure, a legendary nut bar.
@@jeffvernon9469 I think they’re all clowns. I voted for her and I’m voting for Pierre because I’m only 95% sure he’s corrupt. I’m 100% sure the rest are. If Pierre really wanted to send a message, he’d be refusing tomorrows MP raise bit of course that’s not going to happen.
Legendary with her 4 cent per litre gas tax she is initiating on April 1st? Which is more than the carbon tax increase?
FJT
At this stage - I prefer no approach to a price on pollution.
More power to u ALBERTA , you are the only hope!!!!
The hike isn't controversial. The very fact that there a Carbon Tax at all is controversial.
What have they done to change anything. We pay more and they claim the weather is getting worse
I support Danielle, I wish more Premiers would follow her lead.
"The conclusions of the IPCC, and presented in the language of the
IPCC, indicate that it is simply incorrect to claim that on climate
time scales the frequency or intensity of extreme weather and
climate events has increased for: flooding, drought (meteorological
or hydrological), tropical cyclones, winter storms, thunderstorms,
tornadoes, hail, lightning or extreme winds (storms of any type)."
like 2 see her grind freeland or trudont this way wow
Oh Canada, you deserve better
So what's the goal? To put a price on pollution or to decrease pollution? All JT wants to do is price it and not to reduce it. Allow Alberta to export LNG and we'll lower emissions globally a lot more. And isn't that the goal we should have?
Danielle Smith well said Thank you ❤
Sorry but we in Alberta are not interested in "degrowth," we're interested in GROWTH.
9:50 “I understand the lack of alternatives”. How can negative incentive program work without also an ease of access to non or low carbon power sources? That’s the crux of the disagreement on GHG reduction plans. . . And then the obvious lack of ethical behaviour from the current government
In 2021 she was on video saying that she benefitted feom the carbon tax, so...
CANADA GASOLINE SHOULD BE A FOURTH OF WHAT IT IS NOW... COUNTRY RICH IN RESOURCES EVERYONE SHOULD BE RICH AND LIVE COMFORTABLY
Vassey, please go and research the "Little Ice Age". You probably never heard of this, but it is real and explains a lot about why the climate has been changing.
IMAGINE if all that MONEY sent to UKRAINE was used to build homes HERE in CANADA for all the CANADIANS STRUGGLING to save up for a 600k "STARTER HOME"
The cost of my usual work break meal at A&W has already been raised before the 1st of April, by 17%.
I used to enjoy my fast food treats, too. Went to KFC one day, not long ago, to fulfill the craving for a chicken burger. I paid and ate, but vowed never to buy another $14 chicken burger from KFC...lol...
@@slicedbacon2861 I don't go to KFC anymore, now that I'm off wheat. I get a lettuce wrap instead of a bun. I only order off the value menu.
@jordanluenz9263 We shop for food and cook/eat at home. It's still more expensive than it used to be, but not nearly as expensive as restaurants.
Pack a lunch whiner
Eating out is just a luxury, if you can afford to eat out everyday, you're just a spoiled brat
What's up with Twitch?
Thank you Premier Smith
It's not just Trudeau.
Does this reporter forget 50% of fires are from lighting. She makes it sound like humans start them all.
Lighting does not cause forest fires. Lightning might. But not lighting.
Hey Vassie, shes not changing her opinion!!
Fist puppets can’t
The bigger question being why does Vassy want her to?@@paulsmegal2867
It's not her/their opinion Richard, it's David Parker's. TBA owns her soul.
The greatest invention of the 21st century is imposing Carbon Tax to reduce emission. This is how a drama teacher thinks.
AXE THE TAX, F JT.
Smith deals in details. Trudeau deals in fiction.
Smith wouldn't know the truth if it hit him/her (not sure which they use) in the genitals.
"taking money away, giving some of them back, and pretending you are doing something about environment"
1000%😍
I still have not received a carbon tax cheque yet, you can’t even get thru to CRA to ask why. I always voted Liberal not know.
If you are in BC or Quebec, adios.
