BREAKING: Federal carbon tax is constitutional, Saskatchewan’s appeal court rules

The Saskatchewan Party government had asked the court for its opinion on the levy that came into effect April 1 in provinces without a carbon price of their own.

In a 155-page decision on the reference case, Chief Justice Robert Richards writes that establishing minimum national standards for a price on greenhouse gas emissions falls under federal jurisdiction. He writes Ottawa has the power to impose its carbon tax under a section of the Constitution that states Parliament can pass laws in the name of peace, order and good government.

Two of the five Appeal Court justices differed in their opinion and ruled the federal government's actions are not a valid use of that section of the Constitution. Saskatchewan had argued before the court that Ottawa was overstepping its jurisdiction, but federal lawyers said greenhouse gas emissions are a national concern.

OMG 😮 please mute her

The Carbon Tax is a BS Money-Grabbing tax. It's gonna hurt so many people. Mostly low-income people. The little bit of rebate they give back($250-350) is nothing. How about $5,000 back per year for each person. That wud be more like appropriate. Keep fighting this delusional tax.

NO.. But we keep asking climate barbie to resigned before the election and save us money

INSANE TWIT. HAPPY WHEN THAT THING IS GONE!

Catherine, when would you realise that the Carbon Tax is death to your party. You penalise the average citizen when they use natural gas. The gas itself is $1.54/GJ and the Carbon Tax is $1.94/GJ. !!!!!

She’s dreaming if she thinks this is about the climate, it’s a money grab that won’t affect anything except every Canadians bottom line.

Over the last hundred years wealth has spread out into the masses. Now the ruling class wants it back. They will tax us under the guise of pollution or whatever they want. We should not let this happen

barbiebitch must be living in the moon

My question to you and Trudeau when are you going to show an example, stop flying around the world I your jets and stop adding more carbon to the atmosphere than I do in ten years?

No never. Moneywill not stop climate change. It’s impossible. Wake up.

Don’t worry come oct your finished

No tax will help climate change. Changing laws that affect the environment will help climate!

I hope federal liberals will be obliterated in the upcoming elections the same way as Ontario ones - to the level of non existent official party.

I call BULLSHIT!

Old horse face!!!

Carbon Tax is nothing for than just another tax hike! When will the Canadian realize they been had 😁

Congrats, you have the Justices on your side, the Canadian people, not so much.

Just vote her out in October...then we see who has the last laugh

Majority of Canadians do not support the liberal platform. Maybe they should shut up and listen for a change.

Just because one court deems a carbon tax to be constitutional in a split decision, does not mean the tax is based on sound science. Courts judge the legality of tax imposition powers, not the scientific validity of said tax.

How dare she use the word 'man' made. She is not inclusive and that's just wrong. cathmckenna c'mon Cathy Climate change it people made not man made.... Shame on you!!!!!

Nothing but a paid globalist schill.

Join you? Err Ahh Ummm NO!!

Will you stop blocking our efforts to protect the endangered Canadian Unicorn. Join us in saving this majestic animal. UnicornsAreReal

Absolutely f’ing not! Scheer will repeal your shit in October.

CTVNationalNews Making individuals pay for driving to work it’s ridiculous go after the big companies not the little guy.

I cannot stand to listen to her. October October October

The CarbonTaxScam will end this October and Climate Barbie can let the adults run the country again. TrudeauIsDone ClimateBarbie CarbonTaxScam

Idiot kind

Our Carbon footprint in Canada is minuscule compared to other nations. In fact the argument can be made that we are a negative emitter.

were all going to die in 12 years guys ! not the whole world just Canada some how the rest of the world will survive just not Canada - cathmckenna

Taxes don’t change the climate. They just make you unelectable! 🤦‍♂️

Only a insane person believes that a small population like Canada can change the worlds climate. Focus on China or it's pointless

Tax grab... tax the real polluters

Sure . From now on how about they stop allowing PM Trudeau from flying over the province for weekend vacations

Canada produces 16-20 tonnesof carbon per capita/year. China produces 6-10 tonnes per capita/ year. Canada has the population of 36 million and China 1.6 billion. Why are we getting taxed and China doesn’t get trade restrictions Stop the endless trade and curb climate change!

Tell her to go fuck herself!

October you will be on the unemployment line

C'mon the carbon tax is a tax period. It doesn't do anything for the environment. Tax, tax, tax. If the liberals raised the GST they would be hung from the nearest tree. But call it something else and they think we all buy in. WRONG.

So 40% tax on fillup was not enough, now we go to 43%, that extra 3% is a game changer..LMAO!! Truly stupidity. And US, at 30% less, somehow morally inferior. Whoever believes this is an idiot.

Carbon taxation is the biggest liberal govt. scam in decades, and it’s intent is to “tax the rate payers” to increase govt. revenues, and has absolutely nothing to do with climate change! Industrial “stack” regulatory abatement reduces carbon! Canada has done it! China? Mexico?

How to change the world climate... TAX EVERYONE, WHO CONTRIBUTES TO SOCIETY TO DEATH. stupidliberals

Ctv should play Endgame by Alex Jones everyday after there news broadcasts. Then everyone will see what the real agenda is. Carbon tax is bull$%.

I can’t believe how dumb this federal government is. No one wants to pay a carbon tax and it isn’t going to save the environment at all. It’s just a god-damn tax and wealth redistribution system. Stop telling people they want it and how noble it is.

Climate change is a Liberal hoax

Look at how delighted she is to take money from hardworking people by force. What a disgrace.

Catherine McKenna asked me a question. Here’s my answer.

NO CARBON TAX NO CLIMATE CHANGE NO ACID RAIN JUST WEATHER DRESS FOR IT LibsAreDone

This is just a tax! There is no plan on how to use this tax, it is just pay the tax and this will fight climate change. WHAT? Oh wait they know, they just give money to national groceries to improve refrigeration, yah that will do it. They don't deserve to have a majority gov

What a jerk! Fighting the carbon tax is not against fighting climate change. Nobody denies climate change. Many do not believe that raising the price of everything is the way to fight it.

She is totally nuts.

WatchCTVNews Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace: “The whole climate crisis is not only Fake News, it’s Fake Science. There is no climate crisis, there’s weather and climate all around the world, and in fact carbon dioxide is the main building block of all life.

Canada is NOT the problem. I have been to over 70 countries, and Canada is one of the cleanest/modern most caring on earth. The fear campaign about the planet has one, single, progressive liberal goal - take more money from the people to give to the globalists - period.

Spoiler alert: The heavily liberal appeals court found in your favor? Please, continue to gloat about your tax payer paid outcome, all the way to Oct.

To be retired in October!

I’m a nazi denier who is not 🇨🇦 or very ‘neigbourly’ if I question liberals...

Climate “not so”Barbie. Take a long walk off a short peer.

McKenna is so stupid and absolutly sickening.

Make you a deal - will accept the tax if Trudeau steps down

Explain the Ice Ages, Cath.

CTVNationalNews But we in Canada have to pay a carbon tax

Not really a surprise considering that the Trudeau Liberals have been vetting judges to see if they voted Liberal, had a lawn sign etc...

If she was this devout at stopping raw sewage being dumped into our waterways, we would support her. However having no water to drink will kill us quicker than climate change. Get real cathmckenna !

AndrewScheer PremierScottMoe fordnation PremierScottMoe Cause and effect: Co2 reacts to a changing climate, not the cause.

To bad climate change is a lie see DR. Willie Soon in Alberta conference on this subject it will make you think.

Canadians will show her and the Libs what means constitutional in Oct

hey CTV how about doing some real investigating and then report....

what a flake.

Everyone needs to stop buying gas in weekends. Let's hurt them in there wallets. Why the fuck did BC get rid of air care. Plus look at all of the big trucks diesel smoke puking out of there stacks.

NO!

the only climate they want to change is the 'political climate'

October and then ByeFelicia

No

Game 1.... of the series. Game 7 will be in the fall of 2019. Funny how Catherine believes that after a single data point she can predict that the trend will continue in perpetuity.... cathmckenna FriendsOScience cdnpoli ClimateBarbie

Please stop cutting your own hair...

No way.

It’s a “SCAM” ! The Liberals are about to give CHINA $256 Million to help build Pipelines and Coal Plants. China has the Most Carbon Emissions Globally. Wake up Canada, we’re purposely being Bankrupted and Sold Off to China, or Handed over to the UN.

PARIS ACCORD FAIL CO2 emissions U.S. Leads in Greenhouse Gas Reductions

Can we please see proof the extra tax collected is ONLY going to MATERIALLY effective technologies? If it goes into the general coffers then the tax is a dud. We need bio-fuels & we need thorium nuclear or it's for nothing

Please Minister stop your taxation programs which are driving the middle class to the brink of bankruptcy!

What will Climate Calamity Barbie cathmckenna do when she realizes the 1.5 million sandbags used to protect homes along the Ottawa River are plastic. Disposable, single use, plastic. Will she ban them like she banned plastic straws? Anything to save the planet.

So you are ok with the millions of liters of shit being dumped into the Saint Lawrence?

Wonder if she will be smirking after she realizes this is happening?

While it may be constitutional, it’s still theft. Outright, dishonest, indefensible Liberal Government theft.

The overall plan is to make gas so expensive that electrics will be less expensive. It's going to cost 20,000 ++ to drive. So 1/10 the cars will be off the road. People will have to relocate to the city. All un agenda 21.

open your mind McKenna

the court didn't say it was a just tax. They sad the gov't is allowed to do it. Big difference. No win here

And what is you plan, climate Barbie? Other than taxes?

We need to have the provinces protesting do so collectively

Crowebar_67 Nope. We're going to fight ClimateBarbie and LittlePotato all the way till October. Then they will be GONE.

Please retire.

This is not a win for Canada or future generations. The immense debt your government is creating is in no way good for our future. The premise that if we don't act now for the climate or there will be no future is all BS. Carbon tax is a scam. - October

taxaholic lib leeches need to turn working people into tax slaves for globalism and will stop at nothing to control every penny they can.

Great. Galen Weston (who has more money than Donald Trump) will now receive even more taxpayer money for new fridges for Loblaws, all courtesy of the Liberals. CarbonTaxScam

The war is not over yet...

What climate action? Ohhhh the tax that will change the world. I’m voting for anyone but you. We need someone who will take real action, use their brains to think of something tangible. If possible, because a climate’s gonna do what a climate’s gonna do.

No Barbie

How concerned are Liberals about climate change? Chart their personal carbon footprints these past 4 years against the average Canadians'. Facts don't lie. They, like Mansion man Suzuki and the eco-celebs want Canadians to pay for their ridiculously large carbon footprints.

Like her boss, doesn’t listen!

Conservatives want to destroy the planet.

Can we kick cathmckenna out of Canada? Is that possible?

cathmckenna JustinTrudeau your grand plan is a tax. 😕 3 lib judges in SK agreed with you...2 didn't. See you in SOC. concessionspeechoctober21st

We will block climate Barbie at the poll if the courts will not side with Canadians. This is more proof we need elected judges in order to have a real true democracy

alright! who pulled climate barbies string?

Bullshit. Study up on Natural Law. Climate is changing due to principles of rhythm. Leave the weather alone dammit. Stop trying to play god! Let nature follow its course!

We are all ready 4 degrees below normal.

Taxing the citizens is now called climate action? I bet you and JT would love to jail those who don't comply with your 'climate action ' BS nonsense travesty agenda !!! You are not helping the climate, you are stealing our money !!!

Climate action? You mean your tax?

The court DID NOT say that the tax will accomplish anything. It simply opined that the tax is constitutional. This will go to the SCoC and the liberals will be out In October as Canadians see the true hit to their wallets and realize what a scam this is.

Yes what do you do about the companies that Pollute the Great Lakes, ( Nothing).

Humans deserve no blame or tax.

2009 CPC_HQ :”[We] will impose a price on carbon that will rise over time and impact the entire economy. As such, it will provide important new incentives for innovation” ( 2019 CPC: “A carbon tax isn’t an environmental plan” climatebrawl

CTVNationalNews This scientific article provides the best explanation of CO2 that I have found in my research.

Nope

You know smoking was taxed to death and people still smoke even though they have lung diseases already albeit some people did quit but mainly from societal pressure. You got society dependent on oil then you will tax them for using it? It does not make sense.

No Ford has to wast more of our money before he is happy

I miss Harpers credits for energy saving home reno’s!

I will not fight with someone that does not know what they're doing. Instead of passing the bill to the people how about equip the people with what they need to reduce the emission they pump out. I won't see 1500 return for the CT next year so don't say it goes back to the people

How all this Global Warming - Climate Change crap started. Remember 'Acid Rain'? It's all about the almighty $$$$$$$$$$$s

Will you get a half decent haircut...I could suggest a number of excellent hair dressers ...... unfortunately you would have to fly to B.C. and that would increase your carbon footprint. Oh I forgot....you don’t seem to worry about ‘your’ carbon footprint....

Let’s tax the population into oblivion is more like it. Do something useful and pass a law making deficit budgets illegal except in time of war or extreme national emergency and it requires 85% support from the entire House of Commons to run a deficit.

liberal_party

The climatealarmist cathmckenna your carbontax will do NOTHING for Global emmisions

What was that word you were calling your bbq NighJamie ? tonythetiger18 TheSKDude BflisFB

Bye Felicia. October is coming quickly. Axe the tax!

What nonsense is being spouted here?

A tax on citizens IS NOT CLIMATE ACTION!!!!! It's theft and it won't make the planet colder FFS!

Tax the big polluters and give Canadians tax saving breaks on commodities that will help the environment It just sounds to simple a concept for politicians to grasp!!!!

Can someone PLEASE explain to why they are finding vegetation under the receding ice caps and that there is vast oil reserves there also? Asking for a friend.

Is it October yet!

Climate Barbie..... Carbon dioxide is not pollution..... no Carbon tax

Isnt it funny how all these peeps responding want to do something about climate change until its actually them

Tick Tock

He is using the carbon Tax to pay for the ISIS migration to Canada. Thanks to the UN Global Compact on Migration. According to the C.B.C. Every extra person in Canada causes Canada 58.9 tons of CO2 per year. On million immigrants in Canada is 58.6 million tons of extra CO2.

Saskatchewan implemented carbon capture many years ago and the Liberals still want to force a carbon tax. What does that tell you? Saskatchewan is nothing but a revenue for the Federal Government.

You rock 👍💪👏

Putz.

Carbon polluting has always had a cost to Canadian consumers because fuel has never been free. And taxes have been added to fuel for several generations. Make the CO2 Tax 2% and use 80% of the revenue toward energy saving products and clean energy - solar etc.

That’s bullshit!!!

Carbon tax is a wealth redistribution tax. Canada cannot save the planet! Like communism, free love and inserting cheese into pizza crusts, the notion of a revenue-neutral carbon dioxide emissions tax may seem sound in theory. It’s only reality that gets in the way.

Robbing everyone won't do that

Will you wake up and realize that most households in Alberta are $200 away from bankruptcy and stop increasing taxes?

Catherine start using real science fact IPCC is political science another fact 32 weather models are grossly wrong only one is close it’s the Russian model which shows seven tenths of a degree temp raise

Politicians can't stop climatechange - Climate Change Your Mind. With Facts. Rebutting the feds climate report. skpoli cdnpoli abpoli carbontax

We need to join in removing this government!

Ahhh... how bout No!

Are the courts neutral in this country or owned by the liberal government in Ottawa.

Never

Climate Barbie it is a Liberal tax grab. The court ruled your way because you appoint the judges

cathmckenna please feel free to explain to Canadians how paying this tax will fight climate change cdnpoli

Tell me ur plans for the money collected or whose pocket is the money going to

Take your Magic Climate Wand & shove it where the sun don’t shine! There’s other ways of combatting it that doesn’t involve bankrupting Canadians. U just don’t get it, do u? It’s just a $ grab by the libs 2 give 2 your billionaire friends. Respect & trust no longer exists!

I agree the climate is changing, I agree something has to be done, but taxing me does nothing, I cannot change anything I do, I heat my house, I heat my water, I drive a small car for shopping and a truck for working, how does this tax change my 'behaviour'?

It May be “legal” as in constitutional but it is NOT appropriate, effective nor fair. Exactly ... when does government ever consider the fair / equitable argument? Just in (close eh to the Justin word you know and love to hear) sentencing for crimes. Even then wrong

Taxes are constitutional. Nothing to do with fighting climate change.

Are we buying fridges for Wal-Mart next ? Ya no thanks, stop stealing my hard earned money I need it to pay my mortgage, heat my home and feed my family

cathmckenna shhhhhhhhhh...🤡

That stupid smirk will soon be a thing of the past, just like the DINOSAURS!

Lying thieves Nothing more

Over tax is the issue not climate change!

Raise your hand if you are sick and tired of hearing from this nimwit!

If you wanna make a difference cathmckenna maybe JustinTrudeau should fly Commercial. Lead by example!

No I think I'll put my money into something that actually helps the environment instead of an economy killing carbon tax cathmckenna. Planting a single tree does more to help the environment and reduce CO2 then your tax grab will in its entire existence.

We are 0.4% of the world population. Do you honestly believe that we can make a difference. Put a carbon tax on imports as well. Keep our local companies competitive. Liberals... one and done!

Will you stop just taking my money which I work very hard for , and just promise to give it back to me which is pure bull %$ . And if you think large companies will not just pass along the carbone tax to us tax payers you don’t deserve to be in a position to make decisions

Typical lefty gloating, because left-wing judges helped them pass a illegal tax on to the people. Time for Western provinces to get out of federation. Remember the Boston Tea Party, that was because of taxes.

Climate Change is a total FRAUD and Federal TAX SCAM GRAB As for the Liberal Socialist Regime in Power in Ottawa YOU ARE ALL GOING TO FIRED in 6 months (which is not soon enough)

The climate tax doesn't help the environment ,it just hurts struggling families and gives the federal government more money to waste and give away to non Canadians.😡🇨🇦

CTVNationalNews Wondering if the carbon tax is backed by science, how many government grants we're handed out to come up with this. A lot of scientists are calling it ridiculous. There needs to be a plan that works.

I you were actually engaging in climate action, maybe more people would be willing to join you, but a carbon tax is not climate action and will do nothing to affect global warming.

The obsession of this woman...she really doesn’t get it does she?

CTVNationalNews Call it what it is a useless TAX GRAB

Why were there floodings, tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, droughts and massive snowfalls in the pre industrial era Oh ya I forgot, because there was no carbon tax....dummies.

I have issue with this carbon tax, not because I don’t think we need to save the earth for future generations. My issue is the ones that cause the most pollution like the factories and other companies can apply for an exemption so they do not have to pay the tax! Not Fair!

Should be relative tariffs on global trade relative to respective emissions

CTVNationalNews

You are celebrating the fact that you get to keep your 'carbon tax grab revenue' and as far as your rebate is concerned . . . how dumb do you think we are?

I wonder if she mentioned 'those Harper yrs' as usual (couldn't stand to listen to her).The liberal_party doesn't lead by example, doesn't acknowledge the tax will do zip all (as in BC), & they'll rake in big $'s on GST on top of this! There r better ways to deal with pollution.

cathmckenna is Fraudulently Robbing Canadians Taxpayers! She and Dictator, Corrupt, Sexual Predator JustinTrudeau should Resign, Prosecuted, Incarcerated!

We've had it with their hypocaracy and lies!

The coldest February on record caused record thick ice and ice jams thus, the flooding we see. It is not global warming as the Crime Minister Trudeau claims to justify his INEFFECTIVE carbon tax - it’s a cold snap in winter - but why listen to common sense...

One of the most despised minister . Wonder why?

No you will be gone in October so it will be gone then!

No one is blocking it, they have others ways than penalizing citizens. Instead of giving $12 million to billion dollar corporations (that we know of) for refrigerators

Your carbon tax is a scam and come October you and your bobble head liberals will be gone and you will be just a very bad memory

Does it really matter what they say? There time is ticking. They lost the election already and we haven’t even had it. All the provinces are already going blue provincially. That is clearly a sign of what’s to come.

Tried of hearing your BS

Saving Canadians one tax at a time...

Nice water carrying ... AGAIN! This is the non stop chicken little syndrome! This woman is so far over her head its rediculous.

🖕🏿 washedup fakenews

I'm glad to pay a few extra cents for gas and products that require heavy transport in order to reach markets that we consumers flock to in our gas vehicles. I doubt very much that it's going to bankrupt anyone.

Excellent!!

How much did you pay that judge probably on liberal payroll you have no proof of climate change

Damn Election Day doesn’t seem to be coming fast enough! Almost feels like waiting for Xmas.

Who would be stupid enough to think CARBON TAX in Canada is a good thing? Look who brought it in. A groper who was convicted 5 times for being unethical and a part time drama teacher. HERE IS THEIR PROOF.

Does anyone like this Lady? regardless of what side of the issue you are on, this broad is soooo condescending!!!!

Here’s a thought why don’t they pay for it just all they do is talk about it but never doing thing about it

You still insist on climate change:EVOLUTION, you crooks.

October.

Catherine:You are a con artist and you make me sick

Won’t get my vote.

there's going to be a tax revolt and it's going to be ugly.

October 21, 2019.

Yeah liberal leany judges.. you're done come October.

I don’t think anyone I know wants to stop climate action. I think most people I know want to stop redistribution of wealth under the guise of climate action. Find a better way.

Will you ask your Prime Minister to stop flying all over unnecessarily? He seems to have little regard for the carbon footprint he is leaving. cathmckenna JustinTrudeau hypocrites

Carbon 👏 taxes 👏 aren’t 👏 enough 👏

Ford, kenney and Scott these 3 syndicate need to go in the boiling ocean

Dear liberals, Excuse me while I beat a dead horse.... The New carbon Tax isn’t about the environment or saving the earth. It’s sole purpose is to give the political elite greater control over the masses. And you fools are feeding right into it.

Judges should be elected. cathmckenna

🤡

Aren’t the Lib’s happy. Wait until the plastic tax and the not talked about Clean Fuel Surcharge is added to the Carbon tax. These Liberal’s will bankrupt every Canadian family with these taxes. Look for $3/ litre gas and diesel coming to your gas station soon....

It’s a scam imo

You pollute the environment more than any of us

Stop spewing your lies and crap! cathmckenna Weather and climate has and always will change! No need to burden Canadians with a carbon tax! Such hypocrisy! You’re gone in October along with your crooked boss!

Why don’t we ban carbon dioxide in beer and soft drinks? Might have an impact on the weather? 🤷🏼‍♂️Worth a try, I guess. 🤔

Except for new pipelines, which don’t count, since the burning of millions of barrels of exported Tar Sands oil doesn’t count in Canadian emissions

I hope not. Most ridiculous policy ever

blow it out your rear

I wish this Government would quit fear mongering. Canada is doing a great deal to combat climate change. We don’t need a Carbon Tax with the GST on top of it to suppress the people of Canada further. Canada is a spit in the ocean compared to the real culprits,so back off already!

Not at your price

Exactly how does taxing the little guy who can barely afford it and has little room to change (or change enough to make a difference) benefit the environment? Maybe the leaders of the country should lead by example instead of taking flights for 1 hour meetings. It's called Skype

Should Justin fight climate change? Or should he fly by himself on an airliner? Is fighting climate just for the masses, not for our “elite” politicians?

Because taxing Canadians while the big bad boys continue unabated is the solution. Our competitiveness wrt attracting investment capital is already anemic. So let us pound it down to nothing - for ZERO global benefit. Says Edgar Winter look-a-like.

Criminals in suits

There is another way, McKenna, to get rid of the federal carbon tax, and that is to get rid of Trudeau and his cabal in October, and that is what we are going to do.

I fully support Climate Barbie's initiative to save the world. Climate change wiped out the dinosaurs. We must act now. cdnpoli

More like tilting at windmills Your government lacks credibility....that’s on you guys.

Taxing citizens is not going to change the environment, I’m sorry but in reality money is nothing and I’m pretty sure Mother Nature would agree with me!

You can’t fight climate change by taxing the hell out of us. Will just lead to a revolt!!

I have always done poorly taking direction from empty headed fools, so Ms. McKenna, no, I will do what I can to oppose this misguided mission you’re on and talk climate common sense to the people I meet.

Just because the ruling was that the climate tax was not unconstitutional does not mean that the human race has a significant influence on climate change. It’s still a money grab. It is also within the Constitution that women can walk around topless. I am sure most don’t.

Keep up the fight Doug!! These clowns will be gone soon enough.

This carbon tax has nothing to do about climate change & everything to do with trying to offset the Liberal budget shortfall. It was never mentioned in their campaign last election. Why? And now this government is considering a plastic tax? When will this constant bullshit end?

She can go to hell for all I care. She can’t help it. Scared Trudeau will move her to another not needed portfolio

It's okay cathmckenna you can call him Doug Faux anytime. Is fine by me! 😀👍

What a BS we are .0485 percent of the worlds population . This is the biggest con game and money grab ever .

October can’t come soon enough. You can go practice law and the frat boy can go back to building sand castles.

Seriously. Effective? China/India?

Gosh cathmckenna

Ur only Climate Action is 2 grab more money from the people w ur CarbonTax scam, u do nothing for ClimateChange ClimateBarbie cathmckenna ec_minister Wait till October, the tax will b removed n you'll no longer will be able to cheat canadians! TrudeauMustGo CDnpoli Skpoli

Most divisive speech I have ever heard. Liberals - at thier best are divisive. They move forward with plans with no regards for the people Canada; but instead they do so to suit the Self serving needs of thier dictoral leader JT.

No.. most conservatives would rather work for the fossil fuel industry and deny man made climate change because they can't see past the money even when they're looking straight at their children.

They’re fighting against a tax.

barbiebitch

Catherine, will you stop taking our money and using it for your leftist ideology and propaganda? The people of Canada will decide the fate of CarbonTax in October and I'm pretty sure you won't like the outcome. canpoli cdnpoli elxn43

How the hell does taking money out of my right pocket and putting it back in my left pocket equal to paying for carbon emission or deterring polluting? That’s a ZERO sum game? How are you changing climate?

Just mean more Canadian dollars heading south to fuel up their vehicles. The outcome will be the same no change to the climate but loss of cashflow in Canadian homes. Simplifies my vote October.

Nope because its backed by fake science

The climate is always changing. Human activity have no realistic impact on it. If Canada had adopted a carbon tax two decades ago would that have prevented the flooding in QC? How do you know? Prove it? CO2 is beneficial to humans and the earth.

Climate Barbie really getting desperate for our tax dollars

No more tax! Stop waisting billions of dollars and use those taxes for the environment.

Screw your tax!

If the government can pretend C02 is pollution, then tax it, and its constitutional, it doesn’t mean it’s morally correct, it just means we need a new constitution.

So your gonna take money from Canadians then give it back to them? Why take it in the first place? It's all BS WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! Leave already taxed to death Canadians alone, Let those acting like they are morally better pay😉

No, no, never, you're done McKenna

Do we have a choice!

Court rules 3-2 in favour of federal government; but dissenters say carbon tax wholly unconstitutional! 3-2?... The way the Liberals are dancing around you would swear it was a unanimous decision!...🙄

The liberal government needs this climate change deal sign, sealed and delivered before people realize that we are going into a cooling period because of less solar activity from the sun.(iceage) Anyone who remembers our little ice age in the 70's knows the Carbor Tax is bullshit

Bravo cathmckenna & kudos to your handlers! You managed to contain your patronizing demeanor & shrill tone. I did not hear 'LOOK' once.

It has nothing to do with climate change action it has to do with the tax grab. It was also a split vote so not clear cut, room for the higher court to get the ruling right.

Go ahead, stand there and gloat you sanctimonious stunned wretch. It was a 3-2 decision. That’s not really overwhelming. Ont, Man, and AB are up next. Oh and so is Oct 19, tick tock

The bleach has gone to this woman’s brain. She sounds like some sort of a doomsday cult leader.

Your time is coming, Barbie. October2019

Water, food and shelter is essential, not paying carbon tax. Unless this party is saying they can stop all adverse weather through carbon tax, this is bogus. Clean up pollution but don't blame natural disasters or weather on it. You can't prove it so don't lie to Canadians.

She forgot Pallister and Higgs. That’s 5 out of 10 provinces that disagree with liberals

I made the mistake of clicking on the video!... now I have that extremely annoying voice in my head!...🤦🏼‍♂️

LiberalMafia reaching into your wallet again

Bullsht money grab! Won’t change a thing , I’m not changing my life for a few bucks . Money will NOT solve the problem !

No. You are stealing hardworking Canadians money. What about the GST your charging on top of the carbon tax? What programs is this money going towards?

Better idea, let’s have an election in October and send you and your hypocritical buddies in the liberal party back to the enviro groups.

The ruling was 3/5 judges. 1 vote different would have changed the outcome. Worth the appeal.

That’s a hard pass from me. I believe in climate change, better to tax large emitters, NOT individuals. Their ‘plan’ is a tax grab, nothing more. Carbon Tax may work better in more urbanized countries w/ much smaller footprint, not here -
