Canada's Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault stated on Thursday that climate change and its impacts are not slowing down, and that the premiers who want to get rid of the system are taking away the most effective measures to fight climate change. He said, 'eight out of 10 Canadians who pay carbon pricing receive more money than they pay back.
“Today I’m announcing that if Trudeau does not declare today an end to his forthcoming tax increases on food, gas and heat that we will introduce a motion of non-confidence in the prime minister,” Poilievre said at an address to his caucus.“And call for the House to be dissolved so that Canadians can vote in a carbon tax election.”
When asked about the carbon price hike previously, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he wants to see the GST removed from home heating as he says it is an essential service. “And if Canada doesn’t do its fair share when it comes to fighting climate change, how can I go and talk to China or India or other countries in the world and say, ‘Hey, let’s work together on finding a solution to climate change’? Because there’s only one way that we solve this and it’s together.”An Ontario city smashed its new housing targets by 250%. But are prices going down?
