Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivers remarks to supporters at a Liberal donor-appreciation event in Toronto on March 27, 2019.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is slamming New Brunswick for its opposition to the federal carbon levy, saying Conservative governments across the country “don’t think that fighting climate change is a priority.”
Trudeau made the comments Thursday afternoon in New Brunswick, one of four provinces where the federal carbon pricing backstop takes effect next week. During a stop at the Garcelon Civic Centre in St. Stephen, Trudeau told reporters there needs to be a price on pollution.Ottawa has promised to return all the funds collected in rebates to individuals, businesses, local governments and other organizations.
The federal carbon pricing backstop kicks in Monday in the four provinces that didn’t have their own carbon pricing system – Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick.Earlier Thursday, Trudeau met with seniors in Halifax as he made a quick swing through the region to talk about pharmacare and the federal budget.
Hey JustinTrudeau are there any provinces left in Canada that haven’t voted against Liberals since you came into power? AB, QC, ON, NB....I hope you’re wearing a wet suit at least when this Federal Liberal ship eventually goes below water...
Give it up JustinTrudeau You and your giv’t are promoting a Scam on Canadians This is not an environmental plan It is a TAX GRAB
How can you be committed to an imaginary theory?
I wonder how many miles he logged on planes since he took office,pretty sure his carbon footprint is more than anyone in. Canada
The Trudeau 'Liberals' announced that this is exactly what they would do in the run up to the election. The question is whether Canadians are still willing to let themselves be manipulated.
A carbon tax is not a climate policy. It’s a tax. I understand how the tax is supposed to work. It just so happens that at the current rate it will do nothing to reduce Canada’s net Co2 emissions. As the CT rises it will reduce emissions by eliminating businesses and jobs.
2) we want a real debate in Canada, not a political debate but real discussion on real facts, bth sides
1) When will you get it through your head, the majority of Canadians don’t trust you, the United Nations or David Suzuki any more. We want proof that the changes happening are caused more by man than by weather, the sun and what ever else we have heard.
Why in the world are these Liberals fixated on this? The Prime Minister and his elitist frat buddies just finished belittling and mocking the plight of the people in Grassy Narrows a far more urgent environmental issue.
“Trudeau told reporters there needs to be a price on pollution”. A tax is a tax is a tax. Most products are already subject to customs and excise duties and charges, HST or a combo of taxes, import levies. Why not take funds to fuel excise taxes to fund green programs? Ugh!
October can't come soon enough.
