The choice before Canadians is between policies that do nothing, or that do too little at too high a cost, or that do too much at much too high a cost

acoyne Your description of Bernier's plan is inaccurate. He has stated he will won't target it specifically but proposes using the free market in conjunction with property rights. As well, he committed to respected the provinces if they wish to implement their own solution.

They are all actually insane

INSANE just like trudope and his liberal party

It is like living in a nightmare with insane people all around, telling you to be crazy like them.

The bottom line is that modern civilization and the middle class are sustainable only with the same low cost fossil fuels on which they were built. There is no viable replacement now or in the near future. Liberal Carbon taxers aim to push society further into tax slavery.

Adding an escalating tax isn’t a plan. It’s just increasing trudeaus ability to give more to other countries

6esm To the Climate_deniers: Are you still deniers?

Liberal Party & JustinTrudeau guide to fighting climate change 1 keep billions in oil subsidies locked in for 10 years 2 approve pipelines 3 buy leaky Trans Mountain pipeline for $4.5 billion 4 prop up failing oil industry with another $1.5 billion 5 approve LNG 6 carbon tax

The whole thing is bunch of CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAKE NEws

acoyne It’s tax on oil to heat my home in winter and drive my car. It won’t stop or alter Climate Change but it will affect my bottom line $$. Blah blah guilt blah guilt blah blah guilt rhetoric & at the end of the day nothing changes. Libs CPC Green NDP PPC are all the same-Useless!

acoyne Can you please quantify how much the global temperature will decrease due to ANY of those proposals being implemented? No, not CO2 tonnage reduction, I mean a quantifiable reduction in earths supposed warming since that’s kinda what the supposed problem is. Thanks in advance.

acoyne I think we need a policy that's commensurate with how large a contributor we are to the problem.

Liberals' high immigration, high illegals entry policy, is a population increase = CO2 & pollution increase policy, & crammed expensive housing, accommodations, motels, hotels policy.

No policies are required as carbon is a non-factor.

acoyne Funny😒 acoyne, considering you fund, via Aurea, climate change denial and carbon tax outrage via a pro-Kenney Twitter account and several far-right think tanks. Hypocrite. Cdnpoli abpoli Ableg AureaFoundation

Oh but LOOK!!! In this graphic Justin is talking, Catherine McKenna is there and SO IS Billy Morneau!!! It instantly calms nerves and makes me feel that my government IS ON THE CASE. I need not worry, they will be there to vanquish...that which.... Oh the Trailer Park Boys is on.

The lower cost plan will always win. RIP Stephane Dion.

acoyne We need to hear more of this.

acoyne We all know what’s needed (not politically doable) A global price on carbon. Perhaps carbon tariffs would work. But imagine they’d be a nightmare to monitor & they’d still require a price on carbon.I really have no idea how’d they’d work, but didn’t Obama kick the concept around?

Actually this is an EXCELLENT 'argument for doing nothing, as Bernier proposes.' Nothing. We. Do. Matters. Every other party is just virtue signalling to no end. 'Canada’s efforts are more or less irrelevant, given that we account for just 1.6 per cent of world emissions.'

acoyne Wasn't the carbon-tax-vs-income-tax idea the basis of Dion's Green Shift?

'Liberals are careful to hide the costs of their plan or defer them until after the election, their cousins on the left seem unfamiliar with the whole concept of cost.'

This is a good read.

acoyne Great read!

I didn't know that extortion or denial actually counted as policy.

Every party leader except for Bernier is performing a climate-change-virtue-signalling charade at our expense. cdnpoli

And that's just the Liberals.
