Canadians aren’t buying what your selling! Ax the tax!

[@louisventer2218]

We as Canadians can't change the climate on our own. I am tired of being gouged in the "name of climate change".

[@Al-lv7vg]

Every country in the world could be on board and it wouldn't change anything.

[@calvinblewitt6609]

[@calvinblewitt6609]

@@jmj949 what kind of argument is that? You realize that fighting climate change is a multi decade process. You can’t just flip a switch and expect climate change to end

[@jmj949]

We have the most green space on the planet now then ever. Let tech and industry make things more efficient. Your liberals/NDP can’t even balance a budget. Now we pay more servicing the debt than on healthcare.

Carbon doesn’t float in the air. Carbon dioxide does. Ask yourself why they don’t call it a carbon dioxide tax.

[@philippebeaudet821]

What about carbon monoxide?

[@timsmith5014]

we are made of carbon........hmmmmmmm

[@ScienceTechComputers]

It would be carbon oxides tax to encapsulate all carbon based gases that are emitted, but that is a mouth full to speak, so it got shortened.

Instead of taxing the crap out of everyone make green energy more affordable....not many can afford a $ 60,000 ev especially with what it costs to get by. With every tax and tax increase basic living becomes more difficult...it'll backfire if they don't reel it in

[@MrEvfrajr]

Get this government outta here ASAP

[@Am_I_yours]

i'm all for making canada a cleaner place, but make a real policy that actually does something. This just makes everything more expensive and doesn't actually do anything. It's just about taking money and nothing to do with making canada cleaner. I'm sick of hearing "8 out of 10 get more money back" I'm not stupid, I can see how it raises the prices of everything.

[@davidgetchell630]

That would be the dumbest thing you can do.

[@das1013]

So all the carbon taxes we've been paying made the weather worse in July & August, Guilbeault?

[@gorgeousgeorge5173]

Raise the carbon tax until we are all millionaires, cos we get back more than we pay in, right?

Never forget - carbon dioxide is not pollution.

So he is actually admitting carbon tax doesn’t change the weather

Liar, liar, pants on fire...that guy needs to be back in jail!

[@Matthew-hi5ud]

Every time I see him, I always think of when he was arrested for chaining himself to gass pumps, climbing the CN tower, and the best one, standing on Premier Ralph Kleins roof in the middle of the night. Even more crazy is JT hiring him to be the environment minister....like WOW!

This guy just doesn’t get it. He is the problem not the climate. Of 8/10 families get more money back than they pay exactly how much money is the carbon tax which is applied to solving our “crisis”? If the “crisis” is so important why would the Liberals raise the tax annually only to give even more back to 8/10 families? Please explain how we can at the same time have a “crisis” and give back money collected for this “crisis”?

[@sammydavis991]
