Trudeau for jail!!
i don't get fuc all back. What are they talking about? Furthermore don't take it to begin with
Playing politics…?WTF Trudeau!!
Disgusting standing up for the tax
Generally speaking no households will be hurt because of the CT. The poorer and middle-income households, 4 out of 10 ($120k/year and under), will get more money. The upperish middle-income households, 2 out of 10 ($150k/year or so) break even or pay a tad bit more, the cost of a few restaurant burger meals. The richer and rich households ($250k to the millions per year) lose a bit, but it's not hurting them. They have money. The only things hurt might be their pride and politics.
Climate change is real it’s been happening forever. Axe the tax and the amount of government workers and spending.
Fawking liberals using hate science to mislead Canadians in order to try and change peoples habbits.
anyone want to bet that he's raising the tax this year to frustrate everyone just to drop it next year to get praise for lowering tax just before the election in an attempt to become popular. I bet you anything that's exactly what's going to happen.
I cant stand trudys voice, everything he says and does is incredibly annoying, he's pathetic.
To the clown who said "I think they should be higher" ….your 5th booster is ready .
Very selective with the provinces.
BC doesn't get rebates.
The Liberals had long enough time to come up with an alternative as well.
devalued the dollar
Love how these news agencies always interview liberal educators and environmentalists ?. Of coarse they are going to support it
Carbon Price: 17 cents per litre. Let that sink in!!
So the headline talks about protests but then they don’t talk about a single protest that occurred across Canada today…
If the carbon tax is truly a climate saving tax, then why is the rebate tied to how much money you make. Because it has nothing to do with climate. It's a wealth redistribution tax.
Carbon is not pollution.
Middle finger
This carbon tax affects everyone and every level of society and life! It’s just a snowball effect! Think about your heating in your house, gas in your car, the price of the food (the increase of the cost for the farmers ) etc and so on….
You might get a rebate but your expenses have gone up 10 percent now.
this country is f*cking pathetic
"Completely useless carbon tax"
What happened to buttface’s 2 billion trees?
This is a pure tax grab and nothing to do with the environment.
Trudeau got a pay raise today, Canadians got a pay deduction. FJT?
Need to make minimum wage
I’m beginning to hate this country .
I live in rural area. Before the Carbon Tax I would drive half an hour to go to a restaurant once a week. Now I do not go to any restaurants. The restaurant industry must be feeling the pain from the millions of Canadians like me stopping spending
Government mouth piece.
Glad the Oil companies can afford so much money to spend creating protesting/propagating.
Vote Conservative in 2025, if not sooner if we're lucky!
I don't want to hear from "experts, search or data.
I want peer reviewed science.
FJT
If you want to breathe, it'll cost you. If you die, it'll also cost you.
YES, WE GET IT!!!
we will soon get a new prime minister,,,,,And his name is Pierre
Trudeau is a child
Of course the Tax works better the higher it goes . When you have an upwards transfer of wealth it works great for those who benefit .
Yes, let's take economic advice from the guy that said: "the budget will balance itself" ????
Why u Canadians keep voting him in.
