this is my dystopian life... who knew the apocalypse was going to be so stupid? cats, bikes, and uranium, mostly cats.
I explained the same thing to a Con troll on Twitter the other day too. The #carbontax in Saskatchewan exists as it does because Scott Moe didn't create a Saskatchewan specific one, so he could lose to Trudeau in the Supreme Court and look like a weak victim while blaming the PM.

This is the carbon pricing program that Ottawa imposed on Saskatchewan b/c SCOTT MOE REFUSED TO COME UP W/ A CARBON PRICING PLAN OF HIS OWN. Moe fucked around & found out. The Liberals aren't making you pay more & they are the ones lying. SCOTT MOE IS.

Trudeau's #CarbonTax isn't about the environment. It's about lining gov't coffers. His carbon tax makes everything more expensive. So, not only is Trudeau booking tax revenue directly from it - he's also increasing revenues indirectly. While doing zilch to reduce emissions.

The federal government is choosing to tax Nova Scotians to address climate change rather than accept our plan that does more for the environment, and costs Nova Scotians less. #nspoli #cdnpoli saltwire.com/halifax/opinio

ICYMI: Denmark introduced Europe’s highest corporate #CarbonTax. Our expert said it ‘could have a huge impact on reducing emissions. It will require detailed decarbonisation strategies & implementation plans to avoid financial risks created by inaction.’

How does this square with your aversion to #EnergyPoverty and commitment to fighting the #ClimateEmergency ? Privatization at work for Nova Scotians. Again. #nspoli #CarbonTax

Has nothing at all to do with transportation costs which have massively increased due to the #CarbonTax that YOU ENDORSED In a system rigged by the Liberals & the NDP - you pay more for everything because of taxes

The average Canadian family will spend almost $1000 more on groceries this year Meanwhile, corporate grocery stores have made combined $900 million in net profits the last quarter alone In a system rigged by Conservatives & Liberals - when you pay more, corporations profit more

Time to talk about the $100 a head for a school by 2030 at nearly $.90 a sq foot in SK? We have Gst and 10% local tax on ctax on utilities. The Globe and Mail: Ottawa rejects Atlantic Canada's request for extension to submit climate plan. #carbontax
Maybe it's a little elementary, but if you're giving the money back from the #carbontax in a rebate, then why would you charge it in the first place?

Fighting carbon rebate cheques is a losing battle. Under the federal carbon pricing system, 8/10 families receive more money back than they pay. We can reinvest $1 billion directly into hardworking Nova Scotians all while cutting emissions. #Halifax saltwire.com/halifax/opinio

Scrap the #carbontax - save us all some major $$

$6,000. That’s about how much parents across Ontario are going to save – per child, per year – by the end of the year, when their child care fees get cut in half. I heard from some today about how that’ll help them, and I told them we’ll keep working to make life more affordable.
