Canada, and Canadians, need to find the will to fight climate change GlobeDebate

Conservatives argue Canada contributes only a small fraction of global greenhouse gas emissions, so our efforts will be drowned by China’s belching. What’s more, unless our policies are carefully designed, they risk shifting polluting industries to countries with weaker laws. That would leave Canadians paying a high price, while the planet gets no benefits.

On the other hand, Canada is the rare country with a national, economy-wide carbon tax. The tax will rise through the end of 2022; beyond that, it will have to go higher.

GlobeDebate FAKE

GlobeDebate There are too many people that say they want to do something about climate change until they realize it may be an inconvenience on their lifestyle or cost them a few extra dollars

GlobeDebate How is it that refugees and immigrants from some of the dirtiest countries can come to Canada and tell us we need to fight climate change, it was a hoax 50 years ago and it is still a hoax today! Nothing is changing in our climate, we live in Canada, climate is jetstream formed!

GlobeDebate Since we’re 1.6% but technologically advanced, our carbon tax does NOTHING. Our contribution is to DEVELOP Innovative solutions like SK Carbon Sequestration that Trudeau hates or AB’s plan to tax control heavy emitters...common sense

GlobeDebate I think before we embarrass ourselves governing climate change... we should make sure that all weapons of mass destruction be destroyed

GlobeDebate There is no will, until your out of office..

GlobeDebate We should ensure that our government is free from corruption first so that one day our collective interests can be accurately represented in parliament

publicjustice GlobeDebate Stop the pipeline - is the best way Canada can stop climate change.

GlobeDebate He needs to quit destroying jobs our economy, and national unity! He’s causing extreme divisions and unrest nation wide! He must think he’s running Venezuela

GlobeDebate China....26.5 % USA 14.6%.....Canada 1.6% emissions by comparison.....ever wonder why Canadians are a bit pissed at being taxed over this? Horseshit from the G&M.

GlobeDebate Then let's go to war with China and shut down their industrial factories

GlobeDebate

GlobeDebate only if he is willing to full blackbody like in his video, that would be really funny

GlobeDebate We need to find the will to stop paying for the globalist agenda, one government, not to mention a UN seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GlobeDebate

GlobeDebate Idiots!

GlobeDebate Sure. Will Quebec shut this plant down JustinTrudeau jkenney WBrettWilson PremierScottMoe

GlobeDebate I punched some fog earlier today.

GlobeDebate Nope.

GlobeDebate It’s NOT about ‘fighting’ climatechange. It’s about ‘doing something’ to reduce the effects of it.

GlobeDebate We.cant fight climate change, because our affect on the climate is miniscule. The hubris of mankind is pathetic. This is all just an excuse for global socialism {communism} Wake up people. ClimateHoax

GlobeDebate Legislating taxes instead of laws sure impressed the masses.

GlobeDebate What Canadians need to do is understand the facts and science and stop listening to media and politicians who skew the information to forward an agenda. At 1.6% of world co2 emissions Canada is irrelevant. Punishing taxpayers is not the answer.

GlobeDebate You should have developed green industry in your first term before destroying our resource econ rather than throw money away by the millions! Now you’re going to ask Canadians who don’t have ✈️✈️ to pay a higher price? Sorry most don’t come from privilege you must do better!

GlobeDebate People are rarely counselled to have the 'will' to commit suicide. People usually try to stop them. What's wrong with you? cdnpoli climatechange

GlobeDebate Get this through your thick, hysterical heads. Politicians+People Can't Stop ClimateChange - Dr. John Harper cdnpoli

GlobeDebate Are we not one of the cleanest places on planet earth?

GlobeDebate Nothing Canadians can do will have any impact on climate change. Zero. It’s a tax scam.

GlobeDebate According to our Federal government’s web site, our global emissions are 1.6%. Go ahead, bankrupt the country, try to get it zero. It will have fuck all effect. China and India will have increased their emissions much more. The hysterical climate catastophy types will feel good.

GlobeDebate We proved it in Waterloo. We just declared a Climate Emergency. We lobbied for Treaty Rights and Climate rights in 10 years worth of rallies. My video here. Treaty Rights are Climate Rights.

GlobeDebate You don't 'fight' climate change; there is no 'climate crisis' as seen by actual evidence.

GlobeDebate 2% of the world's CO2 emissions... Yeah, um... How about we look at REALISTIC ways of impacting the metrics that the climate alarmists claim to care about? Ex. Strengthen our own economy so that we can negotiate better deals with India and China; belligerent polluters.

GlobeDebate Agreed! So who is flying over to China to tell them?

GlobeDebate I thought that my carbon tax money is making a drastic impact on reducing emissions. You should take more of my money if it will help, actually take it all and I'll just quit work and start collecting welfare

GlobeDebate The rest of the world needs to find the will too

GlobeDebate Nah, I'm good.

GlobeDebate For the 1.6% that we are in the world
