As the federal election approaches, the Trudeau Liberal government’s record has become increasingly more difficult to defend. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s promise in the last election that he would run only “modest” deficits has burgeoned into a national debt increase that is bigger per person than that racked up by any government in Canadian history, outside of a major war or a recession.
So how does a government that can’t campaign on its record go about gaining re-election? By building its campaign around an issue where voters can see them as heroes fighting to save the planet against uncaring opponents. That issue is climate change and their weapon to fight it is carbon taxation. Winning re-election with this strategy requires convincing voters there’s a “climate emergency.
Many Canadians have been led to believe that oil is a sunset industry. But the consensus of authoritative forecasts sees growth in developing countries pushing world oil demand from the current 100 million barrels per day to at least 110 million by 2030.
But conservatives don't believe in facts anymore.
I have already offered our 'carbon credit' to help the CP's green plan, the Liberals won't pay me for the 14,600 tonnes of carbon our little cattle farm naturally sequesters annually, so AndrewScheer you are welcome to it.
this is totally b.s. hoaxy propaganda. an attempt at a serious cash grab. sorry justin. we are freezing in southern canada. no warmth detected what so ever.
The biggest threat to climate change is that huge asteroid somewhere in the universe that has a bee line for earth.
I truly believe that climate change is not man made (read as: carbon tax and carbon footprint be damned). I do believe the climate is changing naturally and the human race must ADAPT to the pending changes. A strategy on adapting is worth funding. It does require truthful data.
Truth is incompatible with party politics.
I listen to zip this guy says. A hypocrite who started off working for the Alberta gov’t at AEC, advised Encana on genius move to become a gas company, splitting off oil assets to Cenovus. Was chair of SNC-Lavalin when much of bribery was occurring. But knows everything. cdnpoli

Does that Jackass do anything without a camera in people's face 😡
'increasingly more'. Gwyn, those words mean the same thing, so we tend to use them one at a time to avoid redundancy. Kind of like being on the boards of multiple companies that will benefit from the policies you're advocating ... while accusing others of engaging in propaganda
Climate change has been taking place since the earth formed Limiting human impact and dealing with the changes which will inevitably occur doesn't require taxation, exploitation or manipulative fear mongering Good policy doesn't build bank accounts and voter bases though
This is an ignorant article, and no, I am not a Trudeau fan. cdnpoli
For one thing they numbers for the Western provinces is off as well as several monitoring stations in the USA & Canada & no one questions that either. They just nod or shrug without questioning the ridiculous data!
But there is no principled policy, or policy at all, anywhere near AndrewScheer fordnation jkenney . They have lied repeatedly to the electorate scoring cheap ill informed points at the expense of the truth.
Excellent article. Sure hope it is read by many.
Lol truth. They will just deny. It’s the Trump way...
