    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. #CarbonTax https://www.taxpayer.com/news-releases/b.c.-emissions-going-up-despite-canada-s-highest-carbon-tax …pic.twitter.com/Ks5Oc5NDRx

        BC has had a carbon tax for 10 years and their emissions have not gone down. Several provinces have reduced emissions by over 20% without carbon taxes. If you care about reducing Canada's emissions you should be questioning Trudeau's carbon tax policies.pic.twitter.com/EkhMh3GiaB

        Taxes only discourage. They don"t stop. We preserve the freedon of choice to live how we want to live. That requires that we be held accountable for the costs of our choices.

        Hmmm, wierd that a tax doesn’t stop people from using fossil fuels to survive, and do things like go to work, and maybe drive to the grocery store. If only there was a way to tell the Feds that their plan is BOGUS!!@cathmckenna

        Maybe all the coal thats shipped out of Port Of Van to China is migrating back across the Pacific to raise BC’s CO2 levels?

        The bulk of forest fires were caused by lightening. But some people seem so fixated on the threats posed by other people that they propose some kind of "tough on crime" nonsense.

        the point being made here is that forrest fires are not caused by climate change, are you dense?

        I am dense. And that point is incorrect. Higher summer temperatures mean drier forests.
