Was designed to do two things both uh send a clear signal to investors to companies to Canadians that it makes good sense to invest in reducing our carbon emissions and saving energy and a price signal is the clearest way of doing that but the second goal of the price on pollution
Was to make sure that middle class families and vulnerable families across the country weren’t carrying the brunt of that price on pollution and that’s exactly what we’ve done a family of four in Alberta is going to receive $1,800 over the coming year with our price on pollution that is
More than the average family will pay with the carbon price and there’s a 20% top up for rural areas that puts it over $2,000 those are checks that the conservative governments and conservative party wants to take away from people it’s a way of both fighting climate change of pushing
For Innovation and uh better Technologies and putting more money in the pockets of Canadians right across the country eight out of 10 families in the jurisdictions across the country that uh have the price on federal price on pollution do better with the Canada carbon rebate checks they get
Every few months then it costs them that’s what a smart plan to price pollution is all about and I can understand there’s a lot of political misinformation and disinformation about that but every Canadian knows particularly here in Alberta that the impacts of climate change are real and the
Opportunities to innovate and build an economy of the future with high hydrogen with ccus uh with uh Renewables uh with nuclear is going to continue to lead good jobs for albertans and uh and and a an economically driving force here in Alberta in a world that understands the reality of climate change
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke on how the carbon tax policy will ‘put more money in the pockets of Canadians.’

Great speech Trudeau. You care about Canadians and the environment. Haters don't care about our future but Trudeau does and that is why he is one of the greatest PMs. We are lucky to have him and all those that are not grateful need to start showing him some respect. Trudeau is Truth!
The Face of Corruption!
Turdeau is a dummy he can never change nature
He just doesn't get it and the and Liberal party are out to lunch….. never vote liberal
Canadians want an election NOW, Get rid of this psychopath. Why should his wife be allowed to separate from him but Canadians have to keep him?
I'd like to hear him justify him being Pro-Israeli.
I am confused – if you are taxed more- meaning you paying more for carbon you use – which will increase transportation fees which could increase food cost. Which means you pay more basically on everything. When do I get more money from government to pay the offset on ALL the extra costs of living expenses? Or yet again another tax to increase my expenses when I am just a few dollars away from food bank now.
So in May I might be at the food bank?
No purchase of a home now there is a possibility of not enough money for food.
Will start questioning have I failed as a father and provider for a “better life” for my young family. Perhaps Ontario is just the wrong place for a young family. Alberta and Quebec next options?? Or to another country. This is depression not CoVID
Trudeau is a criminal.
If everything in Canada ceased to exist, it would have zero effect on the environment.
? more tax will put money in canadiens pockets
How the hell do you calculate that
Trudeau will come to terms with 'reality' only when he calls an election and sees the extinction of the Liberal party of Canada.
your on crack trulip. unless your on welfare unmarried with no income you dont get alot. we dont get enough to cover our fuel tax let alone our heating tax which in april will be more than what the gas costs.
Can I sue JT of I get less than what I pay in carbon taxes?
This is increasing the cost of living as well. And the carbon tax rebate return is calculated by income . If you are not low class then it doesn't apply.
What a goof.
Even his face is starting to look like a bull's ASS while talking.
I think Trudeau flunked math.
The tax is designed to do only one thing.
To persecute ordinary folks for the crime of living in Canada, for living their lives and minding their own business.
To benefit foreign business/political interests.
It isn't and never has been about 'saving the planet'…only to put money into the pockets of government and their connected friends.
Maybe he should go pitch his tax in…say…Beijing…or Moscow..you know places that really do pollute the planet.
Trudeau, Singh…ndp-liberals…make then Net Zero
fking helllllll
You go home
I definitely think this works. They aren't interested in our worlds health so tax them until they change, be the leader in new tech and save money. Sounds fine to me, just saying.
I'll be your friend for 100K
You can get your popularity up with your own beer brand
I see more apartments and homes being built then jobs being created. I don't see where the money is going??
The heritige fund already have 22.1 billion dollars, to create jobs and innovation and more. Why aren't they useing that money to help combat climate changes. Instand of asking Alberta citizen?
Where's this clown coming from?
I know everytime trudolf speaks, it cost canadians.
Cut the tax, no rebate needed,simple math. Only a fool would pay tax to get a percentage back a year later.
You make no sense….you need to go
Canadians can't afford the carbon tax for a reason – Trudeau.
This obnoxious poseur can keys my axe.
Tax is theft get a job u political bums
YEAH,,, ALL TAXES are about Putting Money in Your Pocket… Every Year I put $25,000 into Income Tax and the Liberals give me back $40,000 because that is how taxes work for the Middle Class… (( NOT ))
