The Canadian government approved a national carbon price on Friday after a heated discussion.
In a meeting attended by provincial representatives, aboriginal leaders, as well as United States Vice President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pushed the carbon-pricing plan he had been working on for months. […]
The plan calls for the cost of producing a ton of carbon pollution to rise 10 Canadian dollars ($7.60, €7.19) per year starting in 2018 until it reaches 50 Canadian dollars in 2022. In a compromise, the price would pause for British Columbia at 30 Canadian dollars in 2020.
Out of the 10 provinces, only Saskatchewan and Manitoba did not sign the agreement. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said the carbon price increase would make Canadian firms less competitive. …

Every one knows climate change is a hoax.
But its a perfect alibi for leftists to strange the market economy to death in the name of protecting the environment.
They just hate humanity.
Ok, bring your scale and weigh it. Morons.
Complete idiocy.
Well, there’s also a LOT of Canadians who didn’t vote for him. I’m one of them. Never ONCE in the past eight years, have I ever stooped to saying that Americans deserve(d) Obama.
Only the people, who voted for him.
Rubbing salt in raw wounds is never cool.
I see, thank you.
With liberal schemes, results don’t matter as long as your intentions are good.
That and a dollar Canadian will get you Poutine Fries and at London ON McDonalds.
(where they converted a minor league hockey arena into a killer mini all wood Velodrome with 46 deg banks)
Yep.
And we all know what the pavement of the road to hell is composed of.
Obama is the worst President we’ve ever had but he never stooped as low as Trudeau to declare his country a post-national nation.
We Americans are proud of our national identity. What is Canada?
This is the stupid shit we would be facing if the Wicked Witch had won and especially if the Democrats won control of Congress.
Algore and Leonard DiCaprio who reserve the right to live like kings so they can instruct us on how to live like paupers.
Lets see business tax is like 33% there ours will lower to 15% then we will get rid of carbon tax nonsense... then over and over Canada will lose....
how many people in canada? 100,000,000? everyone is charged $10? then $50? Golly $5,000,000,000 extra in the gubmint coffers and they don’t even have to work for it- just collect the money-
Fads eventually expire but not before the damage they’ve inflicted is done.
Obviously, I, as a solitary, anonymous schmoe, could NEVER speak for all Canadians.
Pretty much the same point I was making in my previous post, but from the opposite end.
Whether I like it or not, Turd-Owe Jr. is the Prime Minister, and there’s not a damn thing that can be done about that until next election. However, I will assure you that if/when he makes sweeping statements like that, he is NOT speaking for all Canadians. He is only speaking for the ones, who agree with him, and if the results of the last election can believed, that percentage is somewhat less than half. The other half are cringing and face-palming.
You have nothing but my sympathies in dealing with this kind of trouble.
Politics has a common problem in many countries. Politicians when elected do not deliver what they promised, but since none of them do, the people chafe but put up with it.
And then every once in a blue moon, the people of a country will be humbled and driven to their knees before God, because the politicians are so bad. They pray. They see a deliverance.
This is how the USA got Donald Trump.
Canada is more cool to faith than the USA is. In some areas it’s almost all agnostic and atheist. The “redneck” USA never grew quite that cold. Anyhow, if people won’t worship God, the question of worship doesn’t go away. It just gets focused on other things, some of them quite silly.
About 40 million people spread around a continental-sized country.
Americans don’t like political correctness and being made to feel guilty about American privilege.
We rejected that outright last month.
Complete idiocy now comes in maple flavor.
