How embarrassing to be Canadian, believing that paying more tax will put out wild fires, what fools
"we MAY have slightly overestimated"
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggghhhhhhtttttt.
how convenient
Look around Canadians are worse off , i will never vote for the liberal, ndp party tax tax tax, I love Canada ?? ?
Nobody cares about what this guy says we know how this hated tax affects Canadians, get rid of it!!!!
If you live in a 1 bedroom apartment and take the bus everywhere then you benefit from rebates
So now the Liberals are attacking the PBO and trying to undermine the integrity of the office? No surprise!
Where's the money!
Hmmm…feels like he said the quiet part outloud. Industrial emitters don't really pay anything on their emissions the citizenscof the country are the ones being punished.
What the average canadian understands: blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda, this is making me poorer.
The carbon tax doesn't fight climate change?
Or help the environment in any way!
Tent cities = Canadians are better off according to the unelected Singh-Trudeau government.
Socks leaned on this guy to take the blame and claim he made an error. Textbook liebtards.
Giving less taxes to this government will help to improve every Canadian’s lives. How can anyone say they underestimated the cost of the Carbon Tax. We all need to fuel our vehicles and heat our homes
You made Canadians worst off? !@#$%^&*()
I don't know how they could evaluate the carbon tax's impact to both the consumer and industrial areas. This is not a video game or computer program that you can simulate with various factors. The only truth is laid out in front of every Canadian resident: how much the food and transportation costs everyone, is it better than pre carbon tax or post carbon tax? I don't see how we could help the environment or climate by adding carbon tax on everyone's expense list. The whole idea is stupid and unpractical. They just wanted to make up some number to prove their decision is not wrong. But who really cares? It feels hot outside no matter what your weather cast says. Get rid of the carbon tax, nobody asks for it.
Trudeau is trying to get this guy fired for telling the truth. Kudos to him for not giving in and standing his ground.
Ok but why wouldn't you include the carbon tax paid by industry? It affects the prices of everything.
What's happened here is that Trudeau's ppl have invented a flaw, then pressured the PBO to announce a "correction". We know this is the case b/c it's consistent with how Trudeau operates, and again, including the tax on industry in the calculations makes perfect sense.
Trudeau kids should go to bed hungry few nights then JT clown realize how hard for single mother pay for gas or buy grocery for her kids.
WTF. HERE THE FUNDS WACKO TRUDEAU AND SINGH JIMMY DHALIWAL
Soooo…more tax -> bad for more Canadians…
Who could possibly predict that?
Well let me tell you based on experience with the carbon tax. I'm worse off. I make more money and I have less. Way less
Question Period needs a new name…..the Liberals haven't answered a question in nine years.
We are tired of taxes. We don't care what the tax is anymore. Enough is enough. We want our lives and our money back.
Don't we pay the industrial impact up front….built into pricing and then the carbon tax is put on again.
Also, when in the history of mankind has imposing a tax every resulted in making the tax payer better off for paying it?
We NOW know the PBO has “RESIGNED”….RIIIIIIIIGHT… NOT FIRED… “RESIGNED”… RIIIIIIIGHT….
oh no even this guy has been influenced, incredible
