Sheila Gunn Reid, Lise Merle and Wyatt Claypool react to debate between Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre over the impact the industrial carbon tax is having on food costs in Canada.
The industrial carbon tax isn't helping fuel the rising cost of food in Canada, claimed Mark Carney during debate with Pierre Poilievre in the House of Commons.
“We have the highest food inflation in the G7,” Poilievre said, taking aim at the prime minister. “I've given my theory on why under his leadership, Canadians are paying more, faster than anyone else.”
“The impact of the industrial carbon tax is, as estimated by the Canadian Climate Institute, approximately zero,” asserted Carney, citing a group that was awarded $20 million over five years by the federal government starting in 2020.
On Wednesday's Western Canada focused Buffalo Roundtable livestream, hosts Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle, along with The National Telegraph's Wyatt Claypool, ripped the Liberal leader for driving up Canadians' cost of living.
“This is the federal government funding the experts to say the things that you need them to say and then citing those people as non-partisan experts in the House of Commons,” Sheila said. “They will say whatever they're paid to say, as long as they get the next $20 million funding top up.”
The Liberals point to U.S. President Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs as a catch-all, Wyatt said, “even though it doesn't actually cover food.”
Lise called it “classic Liberal denialism,” with the party pushing “hidden taxes on an unsuspecting public” before denying any consequence that may occur. Given they've been in power for 10 years, the rise in food costs can be directly attributed to the Liberals, she stated.
“These elites in Ottawa are so disconnected from their own...”

When Trudeau’s carbon tax on gas was removed didn’t inflation drop big time ?
Just like various “economists” will say that raising the minimum wage to $20/hr has no impact on fast food prices.
Liberals will always deny that tax policies have any effect on pricing. They seem to honestly believe that you can tax everybody $10 million and we will still be driving lambourghini’s and living in 10,000sqft homes.
Carney, Starmer, Macron....liberal idiots with no conscience.
Jeez, What a lying sack.
Dumbass probably thinks that the farm animals all just voluntary transport it to the markets. Idiot retard.
How can adding a tax that affects everything, effect the economy???
D-oh! The man is a liar.
You mean the China trade deal hasn’t kicked in with prosperity yet?😜😜😜
Higher taxes makes things affordable. Ask the albino biotch in Virginia.
Remember carbon credits?? I remember watching in disbelief Al Gore pushing that and absolutely fascinated that this moron could so easily pull such a obvious, ridiculous scam. It’s like someone pushing peanut butter and jelly sandwich credits
carbon credits the dangerous illusion as good as a herd of unicorns
“Carney, Starmer, Macron....liberal idiots with no conscience.”
I agree. They all are Obama azz lickers and Obama is the head sociopath.
“Carney claims”
That and $2 at one time bought a cup of coffee...
Two people eat one peanut butter and jelly sandwich each, or another person eats two in exchange for the other person not eating any somehow equals less peanut butter and jelly sandwiches being eaten...or something.
Only in Canada (and the UK, for that matter) can one get away with claiming that a multibillion dollar tax doesn’t cost people anything.
Carney speaks and nothing but lies flow from his mouth. Hey Canada, you are as screwed as the UK is with its elite treasonous leaders.
Carney = 1.5 laughs
