Canada is on the cusp of instituting a national carbon tax. Against push-back from normal Canadians in Ontario who are against the insufferable proposal, Liberal Minister of Environment Catherine McKenna explains how it will work. WATCH:

The “carbon tax” is as premature and idiotic as a “dark matter tax”.

Agree. I have relatives in Alberta which has already been hit with the carbon tax and they are furious. It has upped the price of EVERYTHING from groceries to gas for your car. I’m sick to death of “climate change” and the moneymaker it is for the UN, Algore, Liberals — to preserve the land takes the cooperation of us all – but money/taxes won’t do it.

I have a great idea; it would be a big hit in the pocketbook now, but it will pay great rewards later; why have the Government tell liberals we will buy their homes and encourage them to move to Canada and then we offer these same homes to frustrated Canadian Conservatives who wish to leave the insanity of Canada; we also build a long Cross Country bridge from the Mexican Border to Canada; we then build the longest tallest wall separating us from crazy Canada.

Don Lapre took his own life by slitting his throat while incarcerated at a federal holding facility just outside Phoenix. He was awaiting trial in federal court for quite a number of fraudulent scheme charges. Perhaps the Canadian government could follow suit and slit their own throats, then bleed out fast instead of slowly bleeding its citizens to death with their stupid taxes.

That list of ten countries with largest increases and ten countries with largest reductions in CO2 emissions was interesting. The US and China are polar opposites. I think we all knew that, but not by that incredible margin! On the reduction side, Ukraine surprised me, although I’m sure Russia had something to do with it, and not in a good way. Mexico was a shock! A polar opposite of Canada! UK is another unexpected surprise. Venezuela, due to Maduro destroying his own country’s economy makes sense: No economy, no emissions! Glad to see Japan on the good list. Turkmenistan? Do they have enough going on to even make the list?

The most developed nations almost always emit less CO2 and less pollution (CO2 isn’t pollution).
Back in the day, we burned wood and straw. Both emit very large amounts of CO2. Many African and Asian communities still burn this stuff.
Then we got a hold of Coal. Although high in CO2 emissions, coal emits less than wood and straw.
Then we went on to Oil. Less still than coal.
Now we are on to gas. The least CO2 emissions of all.
The common denominator in all of the above fuels is the ratio of Hydrogen to Carbon.
Wood is almost all carbon.
Coal is mostly carbon with a little Hydrogen.
Oil is less carbon and more Hydrogen than Coal.
Gas is the most Hydrogen and the least carbon of all.
Therefore……….if you really wanted to reduce carbon emissions, development of the economy is the key, which is exactly the opposite of what environuts (like Justine The Boy Trudeau) espouse.

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet
Taxman!
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
Don’t ask me what I want it for (Aahh Mr. Wilson)
If you don’t want to pay some more (Aahh Mr. Heath)
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes

And you’re working for no one but me

Obviously some songwriting/lyrics license going on here.
I can remember the headlines in the paper (mid-sixties) when I was in junior school and around that time the richest people (the Beatles incl.) were being taxed at 19s 6d in the pound. this is a rate of 97.5% once above a certain income level – not the 95% in the lyrics (1 in 20).
Not a good incentive to try and make money.

This is the same country that’s been giving ships full of illegal aliens 3-hots-and-a-cot until they can determine each individual’s potential immigration status. The country that’s been serving as a launching pad for illegal Chinese smuggled into the US for sweatshop and sex trade uses. The same country that was a transit point for Mideast terrorists sneaking into the US BEFORE 911. The country that had the policy of increasing their declining population by 1% ayear through immigration to keep the numbers from slipping farther into the negatives. The country that elected Trudeau II. This is just another bump in the political road.

Excerpt:
Here, carbon taxes have become simply a tax-and-spend model that lets governments spend ever more trying to pick winners and losers in the energy sector.
That’s one reason why Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Alberta UCP Leader Jason Kenney, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and others have called for ending carbon tax mandates in Canada, and for repealing current carbon-pricing systems in Ontario and Alberta. Now it’s time for the Trudeau government to admit that its proposed carbon tax will significantly burden families across Canada today for a climate benefit too small to measure by 2100.
