Revenue tools. The new word for taxes. carbon tax, or pollution tax, raises the price of everything and they rebate some people enough to pay gas and oil only. What a break. They already take almost half your salary in taxes. Still hundreds of billions in debt.

“Revenue tools.” Wynne started using that term about 4 yrs. ago to disguise her pocket-picking. Fee, surcharge, levy, duty, price ... supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. A tax by any other name would smell as putrid. And, ultimately, only one overburdened taxpayer

except China, usa, india, brazil ....so basically most of the large emitters that are the only ones that matter but do continue to virtue signal our economy off a cliff
-
Health concerns have already changed the way that China and India are dealing with pollution. The countries you mention with the exception of Trump's America ...have committed to reduce pollution. Paris Accord. Canada can be an innovative leader.
-
what a load of crap they have committed while then going no to built literally thousands of coal fired power plants and increase use of all fossil fuels because the "green" solutions don't work..do some research don't just read the headlines
-
And your solution? Just join in? That is a load of irresponsible crap in my humble opinion.
-
you do not have a solution if you believe that economically putting yourself at a disadvantage is a solution to a issue, it must fail by definition. If those countries do not change anything we do is simply posturing and beyond stupid. We are a rounding error and do not matter.
-
You want to become a nation of people walking around with face masks like they do in some Chinese cities? Life is good here in Canada. Please offer a solution other then everyone is doing it so why shouldn't we? My mom taught me that one is no excuse for doing the wrong thing.
-
please be an adult. we will not be walking around with face masks but nice hyperbole. I want to have a viable country with a viable economy that is all we can do, we already have much stricter environmental standards. go pressure china or india to change and for real.

We want the same thing Curtis. And I think we both believe in science as science has led to our discussion this morning. I believe humans need to address the harm we are doing to our world according to 99.9 percent of scientists. I believe in Canada and environmental standards.

I don’t mind paying a carbon tax. If we don’t we won’t have any more humans to tax.

Carbon tax will do exactly zero to combat climate change, absolutely nothing. Find me one reputable source that has explained in detail, exactly how it will, without using nonsensical Liberal & corrupt UN talking points.

You make me sick
-
Pollution will make us all more sick!
-
Montreal, Ottawa and. Victory BC dump their raw sewage into the lakes and rivers. Now that will make you sick.
-
Tax the sewage! Problem solved
-
Probably tongue-in-cheek......but not a bad idea. Sewage is an externality and should be taxed (or at the very least shoild be pay-for-use) so that the true cost is properly reflected.
