taxes It's easier to call it a carbon tax instead of increasing the GST.

Agreed. Because there is no plan needed since it’s bullshit. It’s the logical way to act. Climate change à la Liberals is BULLSHIT!

But Justin’s plan does Sounds like you guys are on the lib payroll, oh wait, you are.

At this point in time the only viable alternative energy is nuclear. But we can't talk about that.

JadedGator Stop spreading BS. Climate change is inevitable. We can't stop it. We can't control it. But our governments and use of free enterprise are sure capitalizing on it. You are the enemy if the people.

Think I'll listen to one of many Climate Scientists and Scientists of many stripes who say CO2 IS NOT A TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB

Why only 90% why not all of it JustinTrudeau liberal_party why do you need 10% again filling your pockets. Canadians can not afford another 10% tax hike to bank roll all your mistakes & mismanagement of Taxpayers MONEY another liberal_party & JustinTrudeau SCAM

Carbon tax = wealth transfer

Doing nothing is better than doing the wrong thing

Media doing thier part for jt, 600m well spent

It's in their blood, it's in their DNA; Liberals HAVE to tax everything.

Because it’s a scam from day 1.

A govern. ministry that defends an obscene tax is normal!! but he never explain how this easy cash grab tax will reduce carbon when the big polluters have been exempt! also he says that Quebec is a strong economy, sure they got 12 billions last year from oil sold by Alberta LOL!!

.liberal_party DoubleSpeak. 'Of course we're eager to do everything we can to try support Alberta's oil industry.' Right after we pass the wretched BillC69 that will tear the heart out of investment in the industry. I wldn't show my face in Alberta if I were you DLeBlancNB

But providing birth control pills to India and China would help tremendously. No need to tax Canada.

, sorry...

The CARBON tax is a plan to tax grab Canadians, the CARBON tax doesn't actually constitute a climate change plan either!... CRVNews

No the plans that the provinces put forward that can actually measure carbon reduction is. A plan that even liberal economists say can't work without the tax being 10x more is just wasting money and getting no results. Time for LeBlanc to actually report real news or step down.

To the fighters, what is your solution to fight climate change in particular carbon emissions?

Hey Justin. You may want to call Macron and ask how taxing the hell out of the people is working out You globalist's are so out of touch with the common folk

Politicians receiving more than minimum wage is contributing to climate change.. Reduce politicians wages is a plan to fight climate change...

Taxing (TAKING MONEY FROM PEOPLE) is not a plan... Politicians Lack what is needed to fight climate change..

What the heck is he tryimg to say? Sounds like gobbledygook to me

“We’ve always said its provincial jurisdiction, the federal government should not be involved,” Moe told Question Period from Montreal.“ Wait? It’s a recent issue. Always? Dumbass. He thinks he’s a constitutional expert now because 🙄

Nor will stealing more of our money !!

Carbon tax is a fukking scam

Please point to a single example where a nation that imposed a carbon tax actually lowered it's carbon footprint because of it. Please spare me the economics 101 'well, hypothetically speaking' bullshit. Real life examples. Where has it worked?

Charging carbon tax also is not a sound resolution for climate change

Imposing carbon taxes is also not a climate change plan. It's just another tax grab that has shown to not do anything. Anywhere on the planet.

Are all the train loads of coal exported carbon taxed if not then the ppl of Canada should not be taxed. This would put the liberal tax as a Hippocrates tax as their plan is tax the middle class and polluting with exports China & India come to mind.

DLeBlancNB I would suggest that fighting a carbon tax is every bit as effective at fighting pollution as is adding a tax to fuel and have no announced plan for what you'll do with that money!

Defund all tax money to u hacks carbon scam thats all. Scams are only thing liberals know

A carbon tax does not constitute a climate change plan either...

Why are none of these climate gurus telling us where all this electricity is coming from to power our electric cars? China knows. They are building over a 1000 coal plants to produce electricity. How many millions of trees is Quebec putting under water to give us clean energy?

A carbon tax is a tax on the middle class and poor! A rich person in their yacht can burn more fuel in one day than my elderly mom on her fixed income spends heating her home all year. They shutting down their nonessential burning of fuel? Somehow I doubt it. Start there

Either does imposing a tax

My value-added small business that pays $100k a year for fuel and shipping has to pay carbon taxes. BC LNG and Quebec cement companies do not. How does that actually constitute a climate action plan?

If we add up all the provincial and federal taxes we all pay each year the government should be running in a positive. But somehow the govt still seems to mismanage cashflow. If it is revenue neutral then why tax us in the first place? CarbonTax

Letting big corporates off the hook with polluting and then charging the man in the street a carbon tax is even less of a climate change plan, money doesn’t stop pollution, closing down polluters stops pollution.

Since his English isn't the best I thought I'd help with translation. It should read 'paying a carbon tax doesn't constitute a climate change plan' You're welcome!! cdnpoli

Here's a plan:

Dominic is the son of Romeo Leblanc, former liberal abinet minister to PET. Dominic and justin have known each other most of their lives. He is one of the good ol boys. justintrudeau DLeBlancNB

Forcing one on Canadian taxpayers does either

Good lord, I hope people actually read the article. DLeBlancNB The headline is atrocious and misleading.

And a carbon tax is not a climate change plan either JustinTrudeau. It is simply a tax on consumers. What we spend we will never get back and business will pass extra costs onto consumers. So don’t fool us with your hocus pocus Leblanc. No new taxes!

Either does a carbon tax.

Even if we brought our emissions donw 99.99% China and India pump out several times as much AND refuse to follow any international protocol. Why should Canadians pay for someone elses trash?

You would think a Minister with an ethics violation would neither be as arrogant or snide as Leblanc.

And a carbon tax doesn’t really do anything for climate change...

Why has media swallowed the balony that a CC change plan is required? CC AGH just a theory based on partial science with managed/forced consensus. We need action to fight pollution(air/water/land/food) bc people&nature are dying nothing to debate. Ford's plan attacks pollution!

Yes. It does.

CTV is fake news just like cbc and global.

A tax is not a plan either. It's a revenue collection.

The carbon tax isn’t a climate change plan either. It’s a cash grab for Trudeau who is over spending 20-30 billion a year. A climate plan is a thoughtful transition to a lower carbon economy using natural gas which has half the GHG of coal, encouraging clean electricity for cars.

The Carbon Tax is just a clever stunt to do nothing about Climate Change and for some politicians to make big dollars out of this fakery as they back big oil.

Liberals don’t have a climate change policy all they want and care about is screwing hard working average Canadians for higher taxes to support their reckless spending

An help to slow down the natural process of the climate change is to kick off the government we have now and... vote. for who? We need the pipelines NOW! A Chinese Woman gets arrested in Vancouver, as the Americans want us to do so? It's their problem, not ours. But trump asked..

We as Canadians should have the right to say no. Nobody especially low income families can afford a $2500 a month carbon tax! In the next federal and provincial election I'm not voting for either RachelNotley or JustinTrudeau because I do have the right to SayNoToCarbonTax.

True

i believe that......

Puppet

its all bullshit....scam

Governments have carbon bla bla bla shoved down are throats so bad I dont even wana go travel and spend money on small business.. Oh thats a bad thing ya?

Ford has a plan i.e. he will make sure that Ontario Tax Payers paying for their new carbon tax program that will be distributed to corporations. That way the corporations are not spending a dime.

And a carbon tax on Canadians while China grows coal fired generation as fast as possible is also not a climate change plan. It is deception and bullshit.

The Trudeau plan will only duplicate the damage and hardships brought onto the residents of Ontario, whereby people will need choose between heating their home or feeding their family.

How about this?

This guy has been Trudeauized remember where you came from Mr Leblanc

How is CA going to reduce its pollution and carbon footprint when the Libs are bring millions of migrants here 🤔 it's not possible. When are the lies going to end, and the real agenda going to be revealed.

Carbon tax is is a rip off..

We don't need a 'plan' to fight climate change...We need a plan to fight Liberals...

Neither does collecting one.

Thinking you can change the climate is absurd

Yes Comrade Leblanc, because there is no man made climate change that we need a plan for.

Neither does a punitive tax on necessities of life climatetaxscam

Aren’t the Liberals such climate fighters. With their tax bag open once again with another tax. Industry gets the breaks and we pay more again. All those MP’s all those salaries, and a grade 7 classroom could come up with a better solution besides more tax.

Either does implementing one.

BS, tax the big industries and leave the average taxpayer alone furthermore everything made is disposable, time to make it right again and eliminate GREED

If climate change is happening let's ADAPT not fight a battle no one wants. Besides remember we live north of the 49th. Is global warming a bad thing? climatechange climateaction ActOnClimate

CTV is towing the line. Tweets putting Trudeau down with the truth are not sent. So much for freedom of speech. It was worth spending taxpayers 600 million to gag media.

Neither does a tax!!!

Taxing people instead of taxing the big corporations who are doing the most pollution actually doesn't constitute a climate change plan either Mr. LeBlanc.

Sad to see how many of the previous tweets reflect a stance where if any plan costs anybody any money, then it’s a “tax grab”. You’ll all be dead before any real damage is done, so I guess that’s your genius plan

We don’t want a carbon tax. Every time we reduce our fuel usage the government finds a new way to charge us for being conscientious.

Your tax will not change the environment at all. Some plan.

CTV to the rescue! The man has already demonstrated that he has extremely poor judgement and zero ethics (it comes with being a friend of trudeau). He has no credibility and although Atlantic Canada might re-elect him because he’s liberal, his party is going to get the boot.

Why hasn’t over-packaging been address? Why not require companies to have recyclable options for their products? All plastics should be melted down and recycled.

For once, I have to agree with fat Dom...he is correct...we need to control the pollution we emit, and the best way is with a carbon tax...

... and neither does another tax. Time to bring forth relevant, affordable technological choices to the public. Taxing the crap out of everyone is not a solution.

LeBlanc 'the gig is up'

Sin taxes haven’t stopped smoking or over drinking either why would anybody think taxing our only way to commute will benifit anybody. Commuting, transporting products and growing food are not vices

Just plain bullshit from this Government. There are other ways we can fight pollution.

Why we need Thorium Nuclear reactors to replace oil and gas and accelerate decarbonization. I love solar and wind but we need bread and butter Thorium...here is why

Look... lets make this easy for everyone? You want a carbon tax? Then everyone who is for it, puck a number and at the end of the year send money to the gvt!

The divine responsibility and knowledge that has been bestowed upon me and no one else has the plan to save peoplekind from itself and that my subjects is a carbon tax ParodyCabinet

Soon more people in Canada will realize backing a carbon tax is just dumb. But what will the idiots who backed the carbon tax dream up next to replace it? Say tuned.

The ozone has a hole? Well don’t 5000 satellites and space ships pop right through it pretty much everyday? Guess that doesn’t count right?

A real climate change plan would be elimination of disposable culture and bringing back products that actually last again. Do you think that newly leased car and smartphone every 2 years is a good use of our resources? Our priorities should be looking at the obvious.

So I hope LeBlanc was asked what is the planned GHG reductions in the provinces they will be imposing their carbon tax to know it is effective? Aren't they big on deliverology?

Why don’t you give up the farce of climate change. We are on to the scam. What exactly did the dinosaurs do to cause climate change on their ass? All money grabs.

And what is JT gonna do with that cash? Throw himself in a volcano? I’m in - here’s my money!!

Neither does a tax. It's all about the money.

The plan is to remove your independence, NO car, NO gun, NO house owners, just CONDO, BUSES, BIKE, maybe a mule if you guys a GOOD citizens, a real third country style, no worries ~ 🙄🙄

Implementing a carbon tax doesn’t actually do anything for the environment either. It’s a redistribution of wealth, socialist play to appease UN/EU globalists. CTV, why do you push one side of every argument? You are not real news, you are fake news.

Saying things like this doesn't make us want to give even more money to the government to let them through it around willy nilly

Implementing a carbon tax is not a plan either. Unless your plan is to further impoverish the citizens paying it.

Trying to steal a surf clam contract to award to family members doesn’t constitute a crime either , right

That’s right come on Canada wake up Doug Ford is no better than Trump when it comes to climate change

Um, France didn't want it. We Canadians don't want a tax either.

A Carbon tax also does not constitute a climate plan

What if I told you we don’t need a climate change plan.

DLeBlancNB All you do is rehash the same talking points from gmbutts! If you were so concerned about climate then why are you allowing sewage to be dump into waterways or why are you not taxing goods coming in from China? PierrePoilievre fordnation

Federal government opposing Alberta opposition’s attempt to join legal fight against carbon taxAs well as arguing against the UCP’s intervention, the federal government took issue with a handful of other would-be interveners Some of the reasoning behind this has disappeared in the last few days. The capitalist arguments by the UCP do not seem as sincere, since jkenney asked for the albertaNDP to impose production restrictions on oil. So much for capitalism I guess. After next spring's election in Alberta the Federal government won't be in a position to oppose shit But ok with Suzuki having intervenor status.
