You know what would be really nice? How about giving seniors on CPP the amount of income per year(now averaging $8,424/year)that the back benches and senators are getting(almost $11,000) for a raise. That would effectively double the annual income for most. After all, during the past two years the same government determined that everyone needed $2,000.00/month just to survive.

Hey Quick! If you are up to a drive, if your going to do a video on solar you should come out to the Travers solar project they're building in Alberta. 4500 acres of good farmland taken out of production for solar. And the is another one not far away where they have taken irrigation farm land out as well. Yup, irrigation farmland to solar. Not a April fools thing, it's a real fools thing! Have a good one!

You've said it well QDM! My question is that if us "common folk" can see and understand this stuff why the hell can't the people that run this country do the same??? Trudeau has to if possible be made to understand that he is sending us down a road of self destruction. Keep up the good work QDM
You hit the nail on the head again QDM- couldn't have said it better myself- pushing renewable energy like electricity with no infrastructure on place to support it makes no sense - its mind boggling how us commoners realize but our elected leaders haven't yet- great video Quick
👋🏻Hey QDM, Thanks for this! It’s so true. I now know what April Fools Day is, It’s all about the fool (Trudope) that thinks he knows what’s best for us Canadians but doesn’t know shit about anything cause he is so busy being spoon fed by the silver spoon and living off the trust fund his daddy left him. He has never had to survive out here like any of us true Canadians. What’s your gas price there? Here in BC we are at 183.9 to 214.9 for regular and about 215.9 to 239.9 for diesel, here in BC we have another idiot running our province and between him and Trudope we pay about $0.74 in tax, that’s $0.38 in provincial tax and the rest goes to the federal tax. We pay the most tax on fuel then anywhere else in Canada.
Great assessment of the Canadian situation. Question that you may be able to weigh on: With Ukraine nearing planting season, and being the breadbasket of Europe the conflict may result in a major decline in grain production. Are Canadian grain farmers able to increase production? And with all those oil trains clogging the rails will there be enough capacity to ship the grain?
@@QuickDickMcDick many countries in Africa rely heavily on Ukrainian grain supply. And without transport capacity to the ocean for Canadian resources an argument could be made that our government policy is increasing the chance of third world famine.
Not to get on another rant but cereal crops have cut back in favor of corn production to make ethanol. The worst thing that could be done. Arid land should be used for food production
@@TheSaskachewan1 I Agree. Turning food crops into corn then into ethanol is misguided. A poor policy decision. Food is really important to humans and livestock. Without farmers there’s no food.
@@fdestcroix nit just 3rd world famine, but also in many 1st world countries too. But one has to consider that this might be the exactly what certain govt organizations are trying to do.

I heard a good quote the other day. "In a dictatorship the people fear the government and what they can do to you. In a democracy the leaders should fear the people."
Awesome explanation! I just had this same argument the other day with a guy who thinks we get a "rebate" and that a carbon tax is the greatest thing since sliced bread. When i started putting facts to him , he changed his tune . Too many people and politicians are jumping on this 'environmentalism bandwagon " for the exact reason like you said "to get a first place ribbon". They need to open their eyes !
Way to go QDMcD ! You just made more sense than any mainstream media could ever relay ! Doing so just because you care to try to educate the sheep and not pull the wool over their eyes ! Thanks!
Those greenhouse gases also make the crops and forage grow better. Plants strip the C off of the O2. That provides oxygen for people to breath. So next time you are enjoying you favorite veg you can breathe easier knowing that that food was brought to you by greenhouse gases. Taxes did not do that.
Exactly. And I wonder what kind of Carbon Tax Coca-Cola pays, because those bubbles are C 0 2, just like in many Foods and Beverages. Greenhouse Growers buy tanks of C 0 2 to pump into their greenhouses because as the former head of Greenpeace Patrick Moore is saying, We are experiencing a Dearth of C 0 2 @ 0.004% which makes it a Trace Element.
👏👏👏*subscribed* My bud in Grande Prairie keeps sharing your vids with me. You're spot on sir! Great job! Please consider doing an interview with Pierre Poilievre and/or endorsing him as CPC leader/PM. We need to put the lube in the tube and axe the tax! 🍻
Just wonderful!!!! Sooo true! Seems to me that the greta's of the world is throwing a bucket of rocks in the gearbox and then tells us that it is ok, that it is a better lubrikant...
The Feds always talk about "Net Zero". What is "Net Zero"? Because with net zero right now you basically pay more to the government and emit the same amount of carbon, so is that really helping the environment or the government coffers?
It’s all a scam to enrich their buddies, it isn’t a coincidence the companies building “green renewable energy” are the same people that own the oil companies. More control for the government, more transfer of money to the top
Scored the game in one, Quick Dick! Among life's other sins, I spent over 20 years as an engineer doing research on a) alternate transportation fuels, b) emissions reduction, c) alternate primary (generation) for electricity and alternate (battery/motors/controls) systems for both automobiles and "heavier" applications (e.g. trucks, railroad locomotives, ships engines, aircraft engines . . all of that). We looked at the methods, the initial, operating, and disposal costs for sourcing or using alternate energy. We looked at the materials needed (e.g. lithium), where the raw materials come from, at what cost, and from whom. We also looked at how quickly or slowly a change-over could be made, given that some equipment (locomotives, for instance) has a lifespan typically 40+ years, passenger cars/trucks 15-20 years, and so on. Last but not least, we looked at how the end user's cost for energy (like you mentioned, how much your tractor/drill uses), vs either the income, or percentage of revenue generated. We even found a few improvements along the way - real world - particularly with efficiency and emissions. A percent here, a few there and it does add up. But as you correctly point out, Canada's total contribution to GHG worldwide is less than 2%, and we live in a country where distance and cold are a fact of life. We didn't assume any "shazzam" breakthroughs, but did consider that research often does give better information, or methods. Or not. Sometimes, there's no "better way" than how we're doing it. Assuming that a) we did not want to kill the economy or destroy the country, and b) that improvements could be exported, the time for "change-over" was never less than 50 years. These estimates also, whenever possible, assumed that changing energy sources and uses had to be affordable, because when they're not, people get really poor and really hungry, or just leave. A. Some of the research was co-funded by government and industry, some by industry. The constraint was that the results had to be "honest" not ideologically driven. In other words, how things are in the real world. I worked with some good people over the years, and looked at facts, not unsupported guesses. There was a lot of large-scale testing. So I look at this s&&t show, and think, "we know some of the answers. We'll probably find more of them. We've spent the time and money and resources and brains. We tested - real world, "on the road" possible solutions. Published it. Industry picked up and used quite a bit, because cleaner & more efficient both saves and sells. So why do we have politicians who don't even bother with the research they wanted and funded? If we learned about "how to do it right" - why do the opposite? Thanks for making this. You've said it better than anyone.
Thanks for that comment my friend. Would be interested in connecting with you to talk about some of the positive things that you found as I would like to help promote those as well. Can you DM me on Facebook Insta or Twitter? Thx! QDM
Many great points, it is really frustrating to live in Saskatchewan and have the federal government making promises that are hard for us to keep. Just to show how hard it is to keep their promises, I installed a solar system on my acreage. I heat with electricity so my power bill was really high. I installed 92 panels on the ground to have a 25 kw system. I did most of the work myself and it still cost about $85,000. It does produce all the power that I need for my house in a year but is grid tied to store the power until I need it. In the last year it produced about 52,000 kwh. That is enough power to seed your crop, but would not leave enough left to do much combining, your crop would rot in your field. There is also a problem with storage of the power, on a great day my system will produce 250 kwh of power. Not sure if that would get your tractor from your yard to the field. In Saskatchewan our government seems to need to get it's share of the profits from my solar power as well. When my contract runs out I will be switched to the new Sask Power program where they will pay me $0.075 per kwh when I over produce, then charge me about $0.175 to get the same kw back after the sun goes down that night. In Saskatchewan, we are the most sunny province in Canada, but our provincial government wants no part helping us use it.
As an American, Our current energy policy is horrid. I would much rather be buying Canadian crude oil than crude oil from Venezuela or the Middle East. Build those pipelines!
What is really funny is that most of the oil sands are owed by non Canadian corps so I'm not sure how much they are taxed per barrel. I bet employee's up there contribute a huge amount to the Fed's
Good morning QDM☕☕☕ As always, well said and well done!!! BTW, wind energy can't easily be stored yet... And requires electricity, running or not.. not to mention all the fossil fuels used to build the components.. and the cooling/lube oil they require... The list goes on..as you know. Thank you!!
Good morning Ed. Got that right. My brother works for a crane outfit that repairs and builds them. Says quite a few of them are leaking gear box oil onto the ground. Was replacing blades cause guys were shooting them with guns, if it wasn’t for govt subsidies they would never get put up. Very costly and inefficient talking to their operators. Shut down if it’s too windy, shut down to change direction when the wind changes (which up in the mountains happens a lot). Plus the outfit they work for is finding they are only getting a ten year lifespan versus the twenty they are supposed to get on blades and gearboxes.
Morning Ed! Yes - we have a long ways to go with renewables. I agree with harvesting wind/sun but when we need a backup for it all it gets expensive... Take care my friend QDM
@@chadtosh6831 my sister in law works for the Bonneville power administration.. so I've heard the stories.. also seen lots of videos of failure and fire.. There is a county in colorado that the electric company loves the wind farms, because they are their biggest customer.. one 40 acre wind farm uses 90% of the power in the county.. They are so economical and environmentally friendly 🙄
Great Video again Dick. One other thing people don't realize as well is that solar panels, wind turbines, and nuclear plants are all made from materials such as metal, and concrete that have to be dug up out of the ground the same way as oil and is arguably worse cause you need to make large Quarries to get this stuff out of the ground properly. The metals will also cause pollution in of themselves such as copper and lead are very toxic substances and if you get any run-off into the rivers you'll end up poisoning the nearby towns and whatever other town is further down the river, and that's not including the machines that need fuel and electricity to run them in order to dig all this stuff up. Then there's the fact that Solar panels and wind turbines don't last forever and need to be replaced after a while, and will have to be melted down, How? again heavy machinery that takes oil gas, and/or electricity to run in order to melt the scrap down and reshape it into whatever you desire and when metal heats up to be melted down it makes fumes that pollute the air as well, it's also bad for your health just look up metal fume fever. When you consider all of this "green energy" isn't very green and it's a mislabel it should be called "feel good energy" cause that's all the main goal really is when it comes to this "green energy" stuff.

Well said QDM, too bad we can’t get those guys in Ottawa see what we’re dealing with out here in the real world! Going broke just putting fuel in my pickup just so I can get to work 😳🤣
You've said it well QDM! My question is that if us "common folk" can see and understand this stuff why the hell can't the people that run this country do the same??? Trudeau has to if possible be made to understand that he is sending us down a road of self destruction. Keep up the good work QDM
Oh, they know, they just do not care.
Uh, Mr. QDM, are we not one of the largest food/lumber/minerals exporters for the world as well? That might explain a bit of our emissions...
Your awesome I love your channel 👍👍keep on keeping on !
Love the intro, love the video, hate the carbon tax. Have to put F-$250 in my F-150!
Carbon tax adds 11 cents to a litre of fuel. The rest is a windfall profit caused by market manipulation.
Ok so I pee'd a little bit! Jeez. It's a big pool....
Logic laced with humor! Great video QDM! Watching from Red Deer Alberta.
Bingo!!! Happy Carbon Tax Day everyone!!! 🇨🇦
Bang on! As ever. It’s good to see someone who actually grasps the reality of the situation. Keep up the good work.
One thing for sure you got to laugh to stop from crying
You hit the nail on the head again QDM- couldn't have said it better myself- pushing renewable energy like electricity with no infrastructure on place to support it makes no sense - its mind boggling how us commoners realize but our elected leaders haven't yet- great video Quick
👋🏻Hey QDM, Thanks for this! It’s so true. I now know what April Fools Day is, It’s all about the fool (Trudope) that thinks he knows what’s best for us Canadians but doesn’t know shit about anything cause he is so busy being spoon fed by the silver spoon and living off the trust fund his daddy left him. He has never had to survive out here like any of us true Canadians. What’s your gas price there? Here in BC we are at 183.9 to 214.9 for regular and about 215.9 to 239.9 for diesel, here in BC we have another idiot running our province and between him and Trudope we pay about $0.74 in tax, that’s $0.38 in provincial tax and the rest goes to the federal tax. We pay the most tax on fuel then anywhere else in Canada.
Great assessment of the Canadian situation. Question that you may be able to weigh on: With Ukraine nearing planting season, and being the breadbasket of Europe the conflict may result in a major decline in grain production. Are Canadian grain farmers able to increase production? And with all those oil trains clogging the rails will there be enough capacity to ship the grain?
Canadian farmers already plant as many acres as possible my friend.
Our rail system is consistently backlogged.
@@QuickDickMcDick many countries in Africa rely heavily on Ukrainian grain supply. And without transport capacity to the ocean for Canadian resources an argument could be made that our government policy is increasing the chance of third world famine.
Not to get on another rant but cereal crops have cut back in favor of corn production to make ethanol. The worst thing that could be done. Arid land should be used for food production
@@TheSaskachewan1 I Agree. Turning food crops into corn then into ethanol is misguided. A poor policy decision. Food is really important to humans and livestock. Without farmers there’s no food.
@@fdestcroix nit just 3rd world famine, but also in many 1st world countries too. But one has to consider that this might be the exactly what certain govt organizations are trying to do.
I don’t know what else to say. God bless you!
Why is it it’s always the common people that have common sense , and most politicians are as thick as ………manure ! Nice one QD .
if that were true (I wish it was) no one would have allowed themselves to be stuck with a secret X- mental substance for an ailment with a recov ratee of nearly 100 pressent.
@@scavuman Good point !
Getting better every day. Quick for prime Minister. No seriously. No bullshit, the girls wouldn't put up with it
I heard a good quote the other day. "In a dictatorship the people fear the government and what they can do to you. In a democracy the leaders should fear the people."
Common QD, please be our new PM! We need a common sense Canada. You can bring Blue Ball.
Solid analogy with the pool pee'er🤣👍👊
Awesome explanation! I just had this same argument the other day with a guy who thinks we get a "rebate" and that a carbon tax is the greatest thing since sliced bread. When i started putting facts to him , he changed his tune . Too many people and politicians are jumping on this 'environmentalism bandwagon " for the exact reason like you said "to get a first place ribbon". They need to open their eyes !
Oh, that was great! And all those brains contained in one farmer! Personally, I’m soooo happy that you ARE a farmer!
God bless!
As a Saskatchewan guy with his own UA-cam channel feeling the crunch of high prices, very well said. 👍
If only more Liberals would listen to common sense like this we would all be better off.
Lmao this is GREAT! The pool analogy had me rolling 🤣
Loving the comedy fact shows! Keep it up buddy 🤟🤟
Way to go QDMcD ! You just made more sense than any mainstream media could ever relay ! Doing so just because you care to try to educate the sheep and not pull the wool over their eyes ! Thanks!
Those greenhouse gases also make the crops and forage grow better.
Plants strip the C off of the O2. That provides oxygen for people to breath.
So next time you are enjoying you favorite veg you can breathe easier knowing that that food was brought to you by greenhouse gases. Taxes did not do that.
Exactly. And I wonder what kind of Carbon Tax Coca-Cola pays, because those bubbles are C 0 2, just like in many Foods and Beverages. Greenhouse Growers buy tanks of C 0 2 to pump into their greenhouses because as the former head of Greenpeace Patrick Moore is saying, We are experiencing a Dearth of C 0 2 @ 0.004% which makes it a Trace Element.
👏👏👏*subscribed* My bud in Grande Prairie keeps sharing your vids with me. You're spot on sir! Great job!
Please consider doing an interview with Pierre Poilievre and/or endorsing him as CPC leader/PM. We need to put the lube in the tube and axe the tax! 🍻
The corruption in the political circle truly makes me sick. I thought they were supposed to be public servants.
For sure they are public servants -- they serve themselves at the expense of the public
Oh Quick-Dick, if only Canada had an once of your wisdom in politics, we would be so much better off.....
THANK YOU for your insight Sir....
I thought that was a sausage roll you were eating, not peanut butter and jam! I really want a sausage roll now.
Just wonderful!!!! Sooo true! Seems to me that the greta's of the world is throwing a bucket of rocks in the gearbox and then tells us that it is ok, that it is a better lubrikant...
You just make way too much sense sir you have a good day try and stay warm
Man I love this guy
The Feds always talk about "Net Zero". What is "Net Zero"? Because with net zero right now you basically pay more to the government and emit the same amount of carbon, so is that really helping the environment or the government coffers?
It’s all a scam to enrich their buddies, it isn’t a coincidence the companies building “green renewable energy” are the same people that own the oil companies. More control for the government, more transfer of money to the top
If we go "net zero " without a reliable alternative energy source then millions of people are gonna die
Scored the game in one, Quick Dick! Among life's other sins, I spent over 20 years as an engineer doing research on a) alternate transportation fuels, b) emissions reduction, c) alternate primary (generation) for electricity and alternate (battery/motors/controls) systems for both automobiles and "heavier" applications (e.g. trucks, railroad locomotives, ships engines, aircraft engines . . all of that). We looked at the methods, the initial, operating, and disposal costs for sourcing or using alternate energy. We looked at the materials needed (e.g. lithium), where the raw materials come from, at what cost, and from whom. We also looked at how quickly or slowly a change-over could be made, given that some equipment (locomotives, for instance) has a lifespan typically 40+ years, passenger cars/trucks 15-20 years, and so on. Last but not least, we looked at how the end user's cost for energy (like you mentioned, how much your tractor/drill uses), vs either the income, or percentage of revenue generated. We even found a few improvements along the way - real world - particularly with efficiency and emissions. A percent here, a few there and it does add up. But as you correctly point out, Canada's total contribution to GHG worldwide is less than 2%, and we live in a country where distance and cold are a fact of life. We didn't assume any "shazzam" breakthroughs, but did consider that research often does give better information, or methods. Or not. Sometimes, there's no "better way" than how we're doing it.
Assuming that a) we did not want to kill the economy or destroy the country, and b) that improvements could be exported, the time for "change-over" was never less than 50 years. These estimates also, whenever possible, assumed that changing energy sources and uses had to be affordable, because when they're not, people get really poor and really hungry, or just leave. A. Some of the research was co-funded by government and industry, some by industry. The constraint was that the results had to be "honest" not ideologically driven. In other words, how things are in the real world. I worked with some good people over the years, and looked at facts, not unsupported guesses. There was a lot of large-scale testing.
So I look at this s&&t show, and think, "we know some of the answers. We'll probably find more of them. We've spent the time and money and resources and brains. We tested - real world, "on the road" possible solutions. Published it. Industry picked up and used quite a bit, because cleaner & more efficient both saves and sells. So why do we have politicians who don't even bother with the research they wanted and funded? If we learned about "how to do it right" - why do the opposite? Thanks for making this. You've said it better than anyone.
Thanks for that comment my friend. Would be interested in connecting with you to talk about some of the positive things that you found as I would like to help promote those as well. Can you DM me on Facebook Insta or Twitter?
Thx!
QDM
As always, QDM spits the truth. Too bad the ones that need to hear this message will never actually hear it.
They don’t care.
They wouldn't listen anyway
Absolutely hit the nail on the head 👍🏻
Many great points, it is really frustrating to live in Saskatchewan and have the federal government making promises that are hard for us to keep. Just to show how hard it is to keep their promises, I installed a solar system on my acreage. I heat with electricity so my power bill was really high. I installed 92 panels on the ground to have a 25 kw system. I did most of the work myself and it still cost about $85,000. It does produce all the power that I need for my house in a year but is grid tied to store the power until I need it. In the last year it produced about 52,000 kwh. That is enough power to seed your crop, but would not leave enough left to do much combining, your crop would rot in your field. There is also a problem with storage of the power, on a great day my system will produce 250 kwh of power. Not sure if that would get your tractor from your yard to the field. In Saskatchewan our government seems to need to get it's share of the profits from my solar power as well. When my contract runs out I will be switched to the new Sask Power program where they will pay me $0.075 per kwh when I over produce, then charge me about $0.175 to get the same kw back after the sun goes down that night. In Saskatchewan, we are the most sunny province in Canada, but our provincial government wants no part helping us use it.
Excellent comment my friend
As an American, Our current energy policy is horrid. I would much rather be buying Canadian crude oil than crude oil from Venezuela or the Middle East. Build those pipelines!
Why? We have our own right here in the US…Oh wait, we aren’t allowed to use our own oil…
What is really funny is that most of the oil sands are owed by non Canadian corps so I'm not sure how much they are taxed per barrel. I bet employee's up there contribute a huge amount to the Fed's
QDM you are bang on - Thank You for your honesty and knowledge. Canada needs more Canadians like you. Keep it up!
It's always good to get an honest and unbiased clear viewpoint on the happenings in todays world. Thanks, QDM.
Pretty much sums it up. !!
PERFECTLY!!!
Top shelf my friend .. Top shelf..!!!
Good morning QDM☕☕☕
As always, well said and well done!!! BTW, wind energy can't easily be stored yet... And requires electricity, running or not.. not to mention all the fossil fuels used to build the components.. and the cooling/lube oil they require...
The list goes on..as you know.
Thank you!!
Good morning Ed. Got that right. My brother works for a crane outfit that repairs and builds them. Says quite a few of them are leaking gear box oil onto the ground. Was replacing blades cause guys were shooting them with guns, if it wasn’t for govt subsidies they would never get put up. Very costly and inefficient talking to their operators. Shut down if it’s too windy, shut down to change direction when the wind changes (which up in the mountains happens a lot). Plus the outfit they work for is finding they are only getting a ten year lifespan versus the twenty they are supposed to get on blades and gearboxes.
Morning Ed!
Yes - we have a long ways to go with renewables. I agree with harvesting wind/sun but when we need a backup for it all it gets expensive...
Take care my friend
QDM
@@chadtosh6831 my sister in law works for the Bonneville power administration.. so I've heard the stories.. also seen lots of videos of failure and fire..
There is a county in colorado that the electric company loves the wind farms, because they are their biggest customer.. one 40 acre wind farm uses 90% of the power in the county..
They are so economical and environmentally friendly 🙄
Great Video again Dick. One other thing people don't realize as well is that solar panels, wind turbines, and nuclear plants are all made from materials such as metal, and concrete that have to be dug up out of the ground the same way as oil and is arguably worse cause you need to make large Quarries to get this stuff out of the ground properly. The metals will also cause pollution in of themselves such as copper and lead are very toxic substances and if you get any run-off into the rivers you'll end up poisoning the nearby towns and whatever other town is further down the river, and that's not including the machines that need fuel and electricity to run them in order to dig all this stuff up. Then there's the fact that Solar panels and wind turbines don't last forever and need to be replaced after a while, and will have to be melted down, How? again heavy machinery that takes oil gas, and/or electricity to run in order to melt the scrap down and reshape it into whatever you desire and when metal heats up to be melted down it makes fumes that pollute the air as well, it's also bad for your health just look up metal fume fever. When you consider all of this "green energy" isn't very green and it's a mislabel it should be called "feel good energy" cause that's all the main goal really is when it comes to this "green energy" stuff.
This is why CN stocks rarely dip. Great long term investment.
no no no, from here on we will use unicorns, rainbows and magic troll farts to power our stuff...
Quick, how are fertilizer and seed inventories? seem likes we are headed into a period of artificially created famine by our dear loving overlords.. always good to get info from the source A.K.A farmers
Great vid QD!!
Greetings from Vancouver… born an raised with Saskatchewan roots. Thank you for all you do.
Common sense is not so common!
Every day that goes by… wtf!!!
How is JT and all still running the Canadian machine??!!
Same applies here in Australia 🤬🤬🤬
you must have leaders leaning to the wef life stile as we do?
👍👍👍👍 come on didn’t you know that Canada is going to be 25 degrees centigrade from now on? 😳
Love the commentary man. Great job. The liberal government is sucking the life out of every day working Canadian. Out here in Newfoundland I drive an hour for work every day and it's taking a toll on the family. Keep up the good work
“It’s like having the cart drag the horse backwards down the hill while the government is whipping the horse” 😂😂😂☠️
Big breaking news, Trudolph has come to the realization that carbon tax DOES NOT reduce GHG Emissions and therefore the tax will be scrapped.
Love the cat footprints on the truck's windshield!
Really appreciate all the work you do on your videos keep up the good work and keep spreading the word
