What difference does it make if fires are started by Jewish space lasers, careless campers or lightning? Hot dry weather is going to allow fires to burn longer regardless of the cause.
Theres many causes to wildfires. 1: Lightning. 2: Human activity (mostly trains, transport truck, road vehicle, off road vehicle, campers and Arsonist). 3: Tree disease (pine beetle kills all trees in certain parts of bc and alberta. 4: Climate change is real (10000 years ago there was at least 1000 feet of snow over all the eastearn slope of the Rockies). 5: Forestry management ( im not an expert but we surely can do better then planting 2x4 in the ground...😂 pine is transformed into construction lumber). 6: Firefighting (Prevention or Actual fighting both need some thinking and ressources allocated every where not sure we have enough fire Bombers). Get used to it the ice isnt coming back and thats the cycle we are in on earth. Carbon taxe or not the ice that melts doesnt come back.

@john15008 trucks that deliver supplies to farms pay the tax on gas so they charge farmers more, farm products Need to be delivered by transports that run on gas that pay the tax, so they charge the farmers more, So the farmer has to increase his prices. The grocery stores have to charge more because of the price increases. You really haven't put much thought into this, have you? Haha. Critical thinking is a wonderful thing kid, give it a try before asking something so self explanatory
There are four carbon pricing (taxes) schemes in Ontario. 1. The direct tax on fuels at the pump and home heating. 2. The price per ton on heavy emmitters. 3. The clean fuel initiative introduced on July 1st last. 4. The GST on all the above. Tell me again about how these taxes have a negligible effect on infllation?
Those numbers don't tell any kind of story. If the carbon tax was removed and your gas costs went down to 4,700, then that means you were benefitting from the carbon tax.
Carbon tax is .14 / L. So if you are paying $5,000 in carbon tax for gas, you are buying 35,715 litres of gas in a year. So you are either driving 357,150 KM a year (assuming 10L/100KM) OR you are outright lying.
You don't get the money to pay for all of your gas, just the tax portion. If you are spending $5000 on a 14% tax then you are kinda part of the reason carbon pricing exists
The 'counter argument' by the interviewer is quite a joke, he is saying: "So the criticism to your report is that you only consider the scenario where carbon tax is applied vs no carbon tax, but how about scenarios outside of these two cases? and to add to that, how about the hypothetical scenarios where carbon tax is not applied and more floodings, fires, etc happen?" So basically, he is asking: Estimate the cost under technologies that we don't have or estimate the cost under future climate events. Things that neither the entire financial industry can do (1st point), nor the entire scientist community have ever been able to do with fair accuracy (2nd point).
What's misleading about it? They're presenting the actual authors of the actual reports being referred to by Liberals and Conservatives, and pointing out how the reports' findings are being misused.
@Tomyum19Aren't you the woman whose household makes 200k/year and is quite frugal? You're probably getting more money back the CT rebate then, or at worst, breaking even.
@Tomyum19And at worst your husband and you are paying just a tad bit more, the cost of a few tomyum soup bowls or burger meals. You can handle that, no?
So the goal of carbon tax is to achieve this "goal", so that trudeau can brag about it in front of his "big guy" "friends". It has nothing to do with the climate. 😂
Carbon Tax is just a small part of everything in Canada going up in price! We have whole villages of homeless people in every city things are worse then ever!!
A cascading negative impact... it would be one thing if the carbon tax improved "climate change". We had a carbon tax in 2023 and one of the worst fire season on record. What would actually reduce carbon emissions? There's hundred of ways we could actually reduce carbon emissions that would help people instead of punish them. Incentive local food by removing taxes from farmers, sending liquefied natural gas all over the globe and displacing coal....
If it turns out 10 years down the road we should have stuck with the current plan… it’s still Trudeaus fault, you need a leader who’s TRUSTWORTHY and capable of explaining the plan, as well as arguing it with the opposition in detail. LEADER needed.
The climate emergency is going to increase crime and refugees to all northern countries. There will be a scarcity of water, food, and all other conveniences including housing. Much much worse than now. Very quickly.
@richardmurray8515 when there is a viable alternative in places that don’t have large rivers to spin turbines or large enough bodies of water to make nuclear safe and viable, let me know.
Considering that most Canadians can't afford to go out, can't afford to buy anything and can't afford to eat, it's not surprising to see a reduction in carbon production.
My families fuel bill is 9 grand a year for two vehicles. And my home heating is 1500 a year. Average family in an average town with two working incomes. We don't get a cent back in rebates. I know where our votes are going.
When you fight climate change and lose, you pay the cost of climate change, plus the cost of fighting it. Controlling the weather is not possible, and even if it was, the people who think they can do it are telling you they can only do it with 100% buy-in from the global population. Since the buy-in is an impossibility, attempts to control the weather will always fail, even if the plan could have worked in theory. The conditions required to make the plan work can never exist.

I don’t hear anyone say that now, JT is the worst.
@@john15008 I’m not interested in talking about Mulroney, old news. JT has made life very expensive, being green doesn’t matter when you can’t pay the bills. That’s done through printing money and carbon tax. Women’s sports and safe places are in jeopardy. No trust in the government due to all the scandals. They don’t talk kindly about Canadians during pandemic. Free speech in question now. That’s just a quick off the top of my head.
BS in a house of 2 in Ontario I get 700.00 it doesnt even cover the tax on gasoline comute everyday let alone my wifes , then add natural gas where its 1/4 of my bill, then non direct like groceries and goods , this government is nothing but liars. My grocery bill alone has almost doubled in the last 2 years
JT talks about using basic math to prove the carbon tax isn’t a cause for inflation. I’m not sure how ANYONE can actually believe that! With increased carbon taxing, that means higher prices for basically everything (at least groceries, products & materials, deliveries, etc) because EVERYONE is affected. The factory passes on the increase they incur for importing materials…the stores pass on increases they incur for deliveries…and so-on? How are there still people that don’t recognize the most basic of economics?
A couple of months ago, Stats Canada released their latest report on the total costs of carbon tax on things like groceries, including both direct carbon tax and indirect carbon tax paid during production, processing, shipping, etc, and it was 1/3rd of 1% of the end price of groceries. So relax. Your assumption about the high cost of carbon tax on your groceries is wildly overestimated. And therefore probably for most other things, too.
@@billdonahue1688 it’s not just groceries Billy Boy, it’s EVERYTHING that deals with materials, production, deliveries, etc. You’re not really naive or ignorant enough to believe that a 23% carbon tax hike that is incurred by manufacturers won’t be passed onto distributors…Which won’t be passed onto retailers…Which won’t be passed onto consumers. You’re not that biased towards the Liberal Liberty propaganda machine…right?
If you want to reduce emissions, provide an alternative. There is no alternative for commercial industries. Incentives have historically proven to work whereas punitive actions will only put those without an alternative out of business
Here is a simplified example. I do service on restaurant equipment. I drive a service van. I pay carbon tax on my fuel and some materials. My cost to the business go up due to my higher costs. They raise the price of the meals due to my higher costs. Multiply this by every service provider to said restaurant and voila, inflation due to carbon pricing.
Why did you not mention this Lib Gov decision NOT to export our LNG to othe high emmissions countries? Like China. Why no mention of thier decision to NOT build the Energy east pipeline? Both projects would have huge benefit in polution reduction in Canada, and worldwide. To ignore these very real solutions only serves to confirm the view that this Carbon tax grab is justa gigantic swindle for Canadians!
He sure didn't like hearing that some extreme weather events happen naturally lol. Or when Giroux disagreed with him that his report wasn't being misused.
The carbon tax is doing more to impoverish Canadians than it is lower our “carbon “ emissions. This is an expensive virtue signal at the expense of Canadians. It doesn’t mean anything until politicians that are pushing this tax quit using private jets.
Doesn't war cause a lot of carbon pollution? So taxing and punishing Canadians for pollution then sending bombs and money to support the pollution caused by the war in Ukraine.
For me, in my situation, this hike is only costing me between $2.60 to $3.00 per mouth. On the flip side to that, with how expensive everything else is, the timing is absolutely terrible.
This was a useless interview. A tax can't give more back to 80% of people, while simultaneously rebating less in most or all provinces. It's physically impossible. So something is haywire here and you should be asking what.
There has never been a statement that if we solve carbon production in Canada the costs of climate change in Canada will go away…because they won’t…if we achieve our carbon goals it doesn’t change anything globally in any significant way, that’s a problem that has yet to be addressed. No one is looking to Canada as an example to follow at this time.
the question very few of the electorate is asking is this....."why is an idea two decades old carbon taxing still on our govts radar, when it is ineffective at reducing carbon emissions"? various european nations have abandoned carbon taxing as it failed to produce results. everyone agrees humans should reduce emissions.... what we need are more cerebral ideas or concepts than what this failed govt is adopting.
The obvious gap in the Conservatives' position about the economic costs associated with having a carbon tax - and the PBO's original report - is that the wider economic implications of the carbon tax are not weighed against the economic implications of doing nothing about GHG emissions and the climate change they're causing. The economic costs estimated for not doing anything about GHG emissions is a decline in personal income of 19%, and it's higher the less you make. That is, poor people will suffer more. As they do point out in this video, putting a clear price on GHG emissions is the cheapest and most economically efficient and operationally effective way to achieve emissions reductions. So if the Cons are insisting on getting rid of the carbon price and also promising to replace it with some other policy approach, it is pretty much guaranteed that tehir option will cost Canadians and the Canadian economy more than the carbon tax will. So either way you look at it, Pierre Poilievre's and Danielle Smith's preferred path is to make most Canadians poorer, when it comes to dealing with GHG emissions.
Get this straight when you get your rebate it/household is $450.00 for 3 months now to fill your car costs you $75.00 if you live in Alberta for 10 days: if you live in BC this is $123.00; if you live in Saskatchewan, $93.00; Ontario $95.00; Quebec $98.00; New Brunswick $104.00; Nova Scotia $112.00; PEI $118.00 and NFD $121.00 every 10 days so I'm not sure where they are getting their results from. This is only for traveling back and forth to work if you live in the city. Gas for your vehicle only lasts for 1.25 months if you only drive from work to home, not to pick up your sons or daughters, not for groceries or getaways. This report is being manipulated right from the start, when does the government tell you that they are paying out more than they are taking in, why have a rebate then or a committee to tell you the difference or line of accountants to show them why they need them. What about the services that are going up to deal with this higher cost of living. Then the budget for Canadian inflation will drive up interest rates because they can't get inflation under control but it stems back from Carbon tax increases.
DIDNT THE BUDGET OFFICER JUST SAY THAT CARBON PRICING ENDS UP LEAVING 80% OF CANADIAN FAMILIES WITH MORE MONEY? WHATS WRONG WITH THE COMMENTS IN THIS VIDEO SAYING CARBON PRICING IS BAD? DID YOU WATCH THE VIDEO?
So taxing people is going to change the weather? Is that what you belive? Or is taxing the rich your plan? I just don't get what this accomplishes other than making it harder on us all
@@IsraelistheJewslandit’s forcing companies to pollute less and to help industry adapt to climate change and create new technologies which the PBO suggests will have a decent likelihood of more benefits to our economy post 2030. He explains it all in this video…..
They watched the video... but they just don't accept what the PBO says because it directly conflicts with what they insist on believing is true. Because they think Pierre Poilievre - a guy who lives in a 19-room mansion, has a personal chef, and will get the country's best pension by far, all at no expense to himself - is here to protect and promote the interests of "the little guy" who's just struggling to get by. LOL. Talk about wilful denial of reality!
The Upper Tantallon wildfire in suburban Halifax was accidentally set by a homeowner, and the Shelburne wildfire on the South Shore was accidentally set by drunk teenagers. Neither had anything to do with climate change.
Yeah nothing like climate deniers setting fires…A Quebec man who posted conspiracy theories online that forest fires were being deliberately set by the government has pleaded guilty to starting a series of fires himself that forced hundreds of people from their homes.
What difference does it make if fires are started by Jewish space lasers, careless campers or lightning? Hot dry weather is going to allow fires to burn longer regardless of the reason for ignition.
Where are the goods and services impacted? Where is the government's responsibility not to infringe on inflation impact due to higher controllable taxes so this doesn't happen? The Canadian Government isn't allowed by law to impose higher inflation by raising the taxes to impose paying more for interest rate hikes as a direct result of them increasing taxes.
What a scam! Where is the RCMP? How come there is no investigation into this? 37 Million people should be in arms about this unlawful act against the people of Canada the biggest lie is this report and everyone who backs it should be serving time in prison immediately. The press covering this shouldn't even put this on the air, because they look like supporters of this scam to Canadians.
Would Conservatives consider preserving the industrial carbon price despite its trickle down economic effects, despite its efficacy at reducing emissions?
No households will be hurt because of the CT. The poorer and middle-income households, 4 out of 10 ($120k/year and under), will get more money. The upperish middle-income households, 2 out of 10 ($150k/year or so) break even or pay a tad bit more, the cost of a few restaurant burger meals. The richer and rich households ($250k to the millions per year) lose a bit, but it's not hurting them. They have money. The only things hurt might be their pride and politics.
Very appreciative of Mr. Giroux's non-bias analysis and presentation of carbon tax implementation. Every form of media should learn from his professionalism.
Pierre uses the average carbon tax cost, which is indeed a negative, to insinuate that all households pay more money into the CT than they get back through the rebates. This is not the case. The low and middle-income households, 4 out of 10 (making about that 100k/year and under), do get more money back, something like 200$ to 600$. The slightly richer and rich households, 4 out of 10 (making over 150k/year to the millions) do lose more. But because some of them pay a lot more, like up to 4-5-6k, their losses then skew the average into the negative. The rich however have money so it's not some undue hardship on them. The other 2 out of 10 households break even or pay slightly more, like the cost of a few burger meals. That's if they don’t change their ways.
Canada doesn't contribute to the carbon emissions. According to global forest watch (an organization that has data on carbon going back to 2001), we remove more than what we produce: "Between 2001 and 2022, forests in Canada emitted 863 MtCO₂e/year, and removed -1.65 GtCO₂e/year. This represents a net carbon sink of -783 MtCO₂e/year".
A great, easy to understand breakdown of the effects of the carbon tax on Canadians. Appreciate the budget officer for coming on and speaking candidly.
I finally get why Pierre is so vague about his potential policies. If he gave out enough detail the PBO could compare his potential policies to the current ones, which he doesn't want.
No one is factoring in that the government collects around $10 billion per year and gains interest on the public's money while not redistributing it back until the following year. Where does this money go? Why doesn't the government invest this money in charging infrastructure for electric vehicles and more federal tax rebates for green initiatives like buying electric cars and home renovations?
A generation who cant afford to buy a house or eat properly agrees to give billions to the government to save turtles from plastic straws and hope the weather outside gets better🤨
In short.... Canada cannot afford green policies as realized due to our complete lack of productivity, GDP is in the toilet. No one is investing in Canada... foreign investment is falling. Need to develop industries that function, get approvals, operate in a stable regulatory environment. The biggest increase in jobs in Canada has been in the Public service, care of JT. Now that investment is leaving Canada, JT wants to take CPP money and force it to invest in a failing Canada, against the recommendations of those that have done well investing OUR money. For all our sakes, dont let Freeland force CPP to invest more in Canada... at least not under this government.

Also water, not taxes
The amount of fires will depend on how many inviromentalist trudeau hires😂😂
What difference does it make if fires are started by Jewish space lasers, careless campers or lightning? Hot dry weather is going to allow fires to burn longer regardless of the cause.
Theres many causes to wildfires. 1: Lightning. 2: Human activity (mostly trains, transport truck, road vehicle, off road vehicle, campers and Arsonist). 3: Tree disease (pine beetle kills all trees in certain parts of bc and alberta. 4: Climate change is real (10000 years ago there was at least 1000 feet of snow over all the eastearn slope of the Rockies). 5: Forestry management ( im not an expert but we surely can do better then planting 2x4 in the ground...😂 pine is transformed into construction lumber). 6: Firefighting (Prevention or Actual fighting both need some thinking and ressources allocated every where not sure we have enough fire Bombers). Get used to it the ice isnt coming back and thats the cycle we are in on earth. Carbon taxe or not the ice that melts doesnt come back.
I think the PBO forgets the cost of bureaucrats administering this bullshit tax.

The rebates barely cover the increase in groceries, let alone gas and other products
Just for kicks, what percentage of the increase in grocery prices do you think is attributable to the carbon tax? How do you arrive at this figure?
@john15008 trucks that deliver supplies to farms pay the tax on gas so they charge farmers more, farm products Need to be delivered by transports that run on gas that pay the tax, so they charge the farmers more,
So the farmer has to increase his prices. The grocery stores have to charge more because of the price increases. You really haven't put much thought into this, have you? Haha. Critical thinking is a wonderful thing kid, give it a try before asking something so self explanatory

Holy f-bomb there bud. Lie down, take some deep breaths, relax, you're in Canada.
There are four carbon pricing (taxes) schemes in Ontario.
1. The direct tax on fuels at the pump and home heating.
2. The price per ton on heavy emmitters.
3. The clean fuel initiative introduced on July 1st last.
4. The GST on all the above.
Tell me again about how these taxes have a negligible effect on infllation?
Lol $5000 I pay for gas a year with $400 returned to me
Those numbers don't tell any kind of story. If the carbon tax was removed and your gas costs went down to 4,700, then that means you were benefitting from the carbon tax.
Carbon tax is .14 / L. So if you are paying $5,000 in carbon tax for gas, you are buying 35,715 litres of gas in a year. So you are either driving 357,150 KM a year (assuming 10L/100KM) OR you are outright lying.
You don't get the money to pay for all of your gas, just the tax portion. If you are spending $5000 on a 14% tax then you are kinda part of the reason carbon pricing exists
@@SomecallmeTim-1Nice math. 😂 8 year old me would still mock you.
@@SomecallmeTim-1 Did that take into account the last two carbon taxes?
The 'counter argument' by the interviewer is quite a joke, he is saying: "So the criticism to your report is that you only consider the scenario where carbon tax is applied vs no carbon tax, but how about scenarios outside of these two cases? and to add to that, how about the hypothetical scenarios where carbon tax is not applied and more floodings, fires, etc happen?"
So basically, he is asking: Estimate the cost under technologies that we don't have or estimate the cost under future climate events. Things that neither the entire financial industry can do (1st point), nor the entire scientist community have ever been able to do with fair accuracy (2nd point).

David thinks he is smarter than the average. He will lose his job when puppet master Trudeau isn't paying him a bonus
So the goal of carbon tax is to achieve this "goal", so that trudeau can brag about it in front of his "big guy" "friends". It has nothing to do with the climate. 😂
Exactly..why was there a “ carve out” for people in the Atlantic and not the rest of Canada?
Carbon Tax is just a small part of everything in Canada going up in price! We have whole villages of homeless people in every city things are worse then ever!!
A cascading negative impact... it would be one thing if the carbon tax improved "climate change". We had a carbon tax in 2023 and one of the worst fire season on record. What would actually reduce carbon emissions? There's hundred of ways we could actually reduce carbon emissions that would help people instead of punish them. Incentive local food by removing taxes from farmers, sending liquefied natural gas all over the globe and displacing coal....
LNG doesn't help climate change. And the LNG market is crashing now due to over supply. Look it up.

can CBC also publish news on the multiple times higher costs of not fighting climate change?
When you fight climate change and lose, you pay the cost of climate change, plus the cost of fighting it. Controlling the weather is not possible, and even if it was, the people who think they can do it are telling you they can only do it with 100% buy-in from the global population. Since the buy-in is an impossibility, attempts to control the weather will always fail, even if the plan could have worked in theory. The conditions required to make the plan work can never exist.

My grocery bill alone has almost doubled in the last 2 years
You say your grocery bill has doubled in last 2 years, it didn't double because of the carbon tax but only increased it slightly.
Do we have to spend more money to get the rebates? A rebate is a partial refund of the cost if an item.
JT talks about using basic math to prove the carbon tax isn’t a cause for inflation. I’m not sure how ANYONE can actually believe that! With increased carbon taxing, that means higher prices for basically everything (at least groceries, products & materials, deliveries, etc) because EVERYONE is affected. The factory passes on the increase they incur for importing materials…the stores pass on increases they incur for deliveries…and so-on?
How are there still people that don’t recognize the most basic of economics?
A couple of months ago, Stats Canada released their latest report on the total costs of carbon tax on things like groceries, including both direct carbon tax and indirect carbon tax paid during production, processing, shipping, etc, and it was 1/3rd of 1% of the end price of groceries.
So relax. Your assumption about the high cost of carbon tax on your groceries is wildly overestimated. And therefore probably for most other things, too.

Mr. Giroux is an absolute gem o f Parliament. A very consequential Officer of Parliament. He does great work and handles the public arena well.
If you want to reduce emissions, provide an alternative. There is no alternative for commercial industries. Incentives have historically proven to work whereas punitive actions will only put those without an alternative out of business
Here is a simplified example. I do service on restaurant equipment. I drive a service van. I pay carbon tax on my fuel and some materials. My cost to the business go up due to my higher costs. They raise the price of the meals due to my higher costs. Multiply this by every service provider to said restaurant and voila, inflation due to carbon pricing.
Here’s a question that nobody seems to ask. What does it do to lower carbon if the government supposedly gives us more back. It’s insanity
Why did you not mention this Lib Gov decision NOT to export our LNG to othe high emmissions countries? Like China. Why no mention of thier decision to NOT build the Energy east pipeline? Both projects would have huge benefit in polution reduction in Canada, and worldwide. To ignore these very real solutions only serves to confirm the view that this Carbon tax grab is justa gigantic swindle for Canadians!
He sure didn't like hearing that some extreme weather events happen naturally lol. Or when Giroux disagreed with him that his report wasn't being misused.
The carbon tax is doing more to impoverish Canadians than it is lower our “carbon “ emissions. This is an expensive virtue signal at the expense of Canadians. It doesn’t mean anything until politicians that are pushing this tax quit using private jets.

For me, in my situation, this hike is only costing me between $2.60 to $3.00 per mouth.
On the flip side to that, with how expensive everything else is, the timing is absolutely terrible.
This was a useless interview. A tax can't give more back to 80% of people, while simultaneously rebating less in most or all provinces. It's physically impossible. So something is haywire here and you should be asking what.
There has never been a statement that if we solve carbon production in Canada the costs of climate change in Canada will go away…because they won’t…if we achieve our carbon goals it doesn’t change anything globally in any significant way, that’s a problem that has yet to be addressed. No one is looking to Canada as an example to follow at this time.
the question very few of the electorate is asking is this....."why is an idea two decades old carbon taxing still on our govts radar, when it is ineffective at reducing carbon emissions"? various european nations have abandoned carbon taxing as it failed to produce results. everyone agrees humans should reduce emissions.... what we need are more cerebral ideas or concepts than what this failed govt is adopting.
The carbon tax costs everyone more than they get back, and doesn't reduce emissions.
The obvious gap in the Conservatives' position about the economic costs associated with having a carbon tax - and the PBO's original report - is that the wider economic implications of the carbon tax are not weighed against the economic implications of doing nothing about GHG emissions and the climate change they're causing. The economic costs estimated for not doing anything about GHG emissions is a decline in personal income of 19%, and it's higher the less you make. That is, poor people will suffer more.
As they do point out in this video, putting a clear price on GHG emissions is the cheapest and most economically efficient and operationally effective way to achieve emissions reductions.
So if the Cons are insisting on getting rid of the carbon price and also promising to replace it with some other policy approach, it is pretty much guaranteed that tehir option will cost Canadians and the Canadian economy more than the carbon tax will.
So either way you look at it, Pierre Poilievre's and Danielle Smith's preferred path is to make most Canadians poorer, when it comes to dealing with GHG emissions.
Or do nothing on the climate file at all. The question is, how palatable will that be to voters in 2025
Get this straight when you get your rebate it/household is $450.00 for 3 months now to fill your car costs you $75.00 if you live in Alberta for 10 days: if you live in BC this is $123.00; if you live in Saskatchewan, $93.00; Ontario $95.00; Quebec $98.00; New Brunswick $104.00; Nova Scotia $112.00; PEI $118.00 and NFD $121.00 every 10 days so I'm not sure where they are getting their results from. This is only for traveling back and forth to work if you live in the city. Gas for your vehicle only lasts for 1.25 months if you only drive from work to home, not to pick up your sons or daughters, not for groceries or getaways. This report is being manipulated right from the start, when does the government tell you that they are paying out more than they are taking in, why have a rebate then or a committee to tell you the difference or line of accountants to show them why they need them. What about the services that are going up to deal with this higher cost of living. Then the budget for Canadian inflation will drive up interest rates because they can't get inflation under control but it stems back from Carbon tax increases.
On what planet do you believe the purpose of the carbon tax rebate is to pay for you gas? It only pays the carbon tax portion which is pretty small...

The amount of fires will depend on how many activists trudeau hires

What difference does it make if fires are started by Jewish space lasers, careless campers or lightning? Hot dry weather is going to allow fires to burn longer regardless of the reason for ignition.
This not take account of fires that were deliberately set by Trudeaus minions.😂😂😂.
Where are the goods and services impacted? Where is the government's responsibility not to infringe on inflation impact due to higher controllable taxes so this doesn't happen? The Canadian Government isn't allowed by law to impose higher inflation by raising the taxes to impose paying more for interest rate hikes as a direct result of them increasing taxes.
What a scam! Where is the RCMP? How come there is no investigation into this? 37 Million people should be in arms about this unlawful act against the people of Canada the biggest lie is this report and everyone who backs it should be serving time in prison immediately. The press covering this shouldn't even put this on the air, because they look like supporters of this scam to Canadians.

Would Conservatives consider preserving the industrial carbon price despite its trickle down economic effects, despite its efficacy at reducing emissions?
No households will be hurt because of the CT. The poorer and middle-income households, 4 out of 10 ($120k/year and under), will get more money. The upperish middle-income households, 2 out of 10 ($150k/year or so) break even or pay a tad bit more, the cost of a few restaurant burger meals. The richer and rich households ($250k to the millions per year) lose a bit, but it's not hurting them. They have money. The only things hurt might be their pride and politics.
Wait. You guys are getting rebates?
Not in BC
Very appreciative of Mr. Giroux's non-bias analysis and presentation of carbon tax implementation. Every form of media should learn from his professionalism.
He is excellent at what he does and is careful not to fan political rhetoric.
Pierre uses the average carbon tax cost, which is indeed a negative, to insinuate that all households pay more money into the CT than they get back through the rebates. This is not the case. The low and middle-income households, 4 out of 10 (making about that 100k/year and under), do get more money back, something like 200$ to 600$. The slightly richer and rich households, 4 out of 10 (making over 150k/year to the millions) do lose more. But because some of them pay a lot more, like up to 4-5-6k, their losses then skew the average into the negative. The rich however have money so it's not some undue hardship on them.
The other 2 out of 10 households break even or pay slightly more, like the cost of a few burger meals. That's if they don’t change their ways.
This was a great segment to help understand the carbon tax.
Stop the. Rebates , stop the tax
There is no climate emergency
To do that , We need to defund entire government employees by 30% and CPP should start when someone is 85 year old.
Canada doesn't contribute to the carbon emissions. According to global forest watch (an organization that has data on carbon going back to 2001), we remove more than what we produce: "Between 2001 and 2022, forests in Canada emitted 863 MtCO₂e/year, and removed -1.65 GtCO₂e/year. This represents a net carbon sink of -783 MtCO₂e/year".
Axe the tax !
And replace it with something that is less efficient so costs us more to have less impact?
Export LNG to reduce China, India coal plants. That’s very efficient and we’ll make a fortune
A great, easy to understand breakdown of the effects of the carbon tax on Canadians. Appreciate the budget officer for coming on and speaking candidly.
What about the economic impact of climate change??? Wake up people!

In short.... Canada cannot afford green policies as realized due to our complete lack of productivity, GDP is in the toilet. No one is investing in Canada... foreign investment is falling. Need to develop industries that function, get approvals, operate in a stable regulatory environment. The biggest increase in jobs in Canada has been in the Public service, care of JT. Now that investment is leaving Canada, JT wants to take CPP money and force it to invest in a failing Canada, against the recommendations of those that have done well investing OUR money. For all our sakes, dont let Freeland force CPP to invest more in Canada... at least not under this government.
