The truth is, Conservatives hate the carbon tax because it is progressive and returns the revenue back to Canadians directly, not corporations. They dislike the fact that carbon taxes are not an upward wealth redistribution scheme, or a form of trickle down.

@CarynLonz Yes, Social Science is a science. That's why they call it Social SCIENCE. If you want to know what makes humanity tick, you have to listen to them.

It's "dishonest to sell a

Emissions of CO2 are going up in British Columbia even though we have the highest carbon tax in all of Canada. BC government stats posted online before Christmas show a rising trend.

CO2 Tax works well in Finland
and during last decade CO2 per kWh produced has declined by 59% to 105 g/kWh, which is 1/7 of the US level of 743 g CO2 emissions per kWh electricity produced. #CarbonTax Source (US): EPA emission factor 2016 pic.twitter.com/opgSoGj5P1

They always move the goalposts. Everyday people are struggling to make ends meet here largely because of our insane taxes & fees & the thinking that leads to them. We pay
#carbontax largely at the pump & on our natural gas bills & on everything we need trucked to us. Most things. https://twitter.com/o_retired/status/1081411501439692800 … -
#Carbontax is another case of privatizing profits and socializing losses. -
Does it have the highest taxes? Last I checked it was tied for lowest income taxes in the most common brackets. The
#carbontax enables that. BC's economy is doing well as a result. -
The effects of a
#CarbonTax on ag will be debilitating and detrimental to each producer as there is absolutely no potential to recover those incurred costs from the consumer. The brunt is born solely by the producers. Again, this hurts ongoing ROI & affects long term viability. -
Carbon dioxide emissions are going UP
in BC even though we have the highest #carbontax in Canada. We were told this big tax would reduce carbon emissions, create a “social license” for our oil and gas extraction & sale & be revenue neutral. Not true! https://www.facebook.com/6095483909/posts/10156986082963910?sfns=mo … -
Fact: Top 5 polluted rivers in the world are in Asian countries, 2 in China. What are your planned sanctions etc to encourage them to clean up?

Surprise
#carbontax story of 2019: many families in backstop provinces will find themselves better off after receiving Climate Action Incentive rebates.#onpoli#saskpoli#cdnpolihttps://twitter.com/EcofiscalCanada/status/1080536742854299649 …

Once again: we were told that a
#carbontax would reduce carbon dioxide emissions. It’s not. CO2 emissions are going up even though we have he highest carbon tax in Canada. Oh, and no “social license” has been granted for our natural resources. Sure enough the goalposts are moved. https://twitter.com/mmacscot/status/1081241825363382273 … -
How does infinite economic growth on a finite planet fit on the graph? So this
#CarbonTax is just you guys jerking us off and pretending its going to make a difference while the middle class consumes(never misses) the next jet away vacay. -
Correction: More than 86% of Canada's population are against the
#CarbonTax scam. -
We start by revolting against truturds
#CarbonTax#Canada. Once we achieve this we remove@JustinTrudeau and arrest him for treason and fraud .#Alberta we need to ban together now -
Can someone please explain to me how they think a revenue neutral
#CarbonTax can reduce emissions? Cause this honestly just seems like the biggest shell game. -
Less tax? But you have a carbon tax, and we don't. See Doug's point is that HE is the reason that gas is cheap. He's not. And ANDREW wants to tell everyone that Justins
#CarbonTax will make gas more expensive. It doesn't. Conservatives are just good at fearmongering. -
Fully support
#CarbonTAX I don't want it, but I like the idea of trying to save my grandchildren. https://twitter.com/gmbutts/status/1080833866322071552 … -
#CarbonTax have any of them come up with a viable alternative plan? -
Looking forward to speaking with
@charlesadler CO2 emissions are going UP aim BC even though we have the highest#carbontax in Canada. When politicians imposed this on people we were told it would reduce emissions, create a social license, fund green energy & be revenue neutral. pic.twitter.com/5i2mW1rEgE
