- Conservative premiers are urging MPs to stop the upcoming carbon tax hike. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tells Power & Politics that the federal government has set 'unachievable' goals. But Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson calls it a 'thinly veiled partisan effort.' And, the Power Panel weighs in.

I dont understand how Trudeau thinks hes entitled to a pay raise at this point?
Narcissism
Doesn't work 1/2 the time but will have a$400,00+ salary. Trudeau needs to follow his own singing of EASY COME EASY GO rhymes with Trudeau MUST GO
Nobody in Canada should care about climate policy. We have one of the smallest carbon footprints.
AND it's been proven through the governments own statistics that the climate tax has done NOTHING to reduce Canada's carbon footprint at all. It's also been revealed that the Turdeau government PAID WEF to table a "report" to favor the climate tax. To make it look like a climate tax actually will work!
Yet the real data has proven that even if Canada had no climate footprint, we would make absolutely NO change to the world's pollution levels!
Yeah, let's not care about that GLOBAL issue, lol.
Well it's actually the top 11 biggest out of 200 countries, both in total emissions for a country and per-capita, well we're battling first place position in the per-capita position.
@@Skyhawk1480 per capita? Who cares about per capita? Canada could fall off the face of the planet and the 1.9% of the global carbon Canada is producing will not be noticed.
The Strasbourg-based court said earlier this week that Switzerland’s failure to do enough to cut its national greenhouse gas emissions was a clear violation of the human rights of a group of more than 2,000 older Swiss women. The women argued successfully that their rights to privacy and family life were being breached because they were particularly vulnerable to the health impacts of heatwaves.

David does not get it and cannot see past the Liberal ideology.
He gets paid to "not get it".... sheep
Agree
David’s paycheque relies on his unwavering loyalty to the liberals
@@FromRuinRise...and your unquestionable allegiance to the Conservatives?
@@focusedeye and your blind obedience to the NDP?
The bottom line is that the world elite needs to make the gap bigger between them and the working class.
The carbon tax is a hedge against that. That's why these conservative politicians are setting their hair on fire over it.
Down with the oligarchic regime.
No, the bottom line is that Alberta wants Canadians to burn as much oil, gas, and gasoling as possible so that the royalty revenue flows into the Alberta Treasury. And the Conservative Party (This lifelong Tory now refers to it as the "Alberta Party".) is ready to battle for this. Notice that no one suggests reducing income tax as way of helping ordinary working Canadians. It is the Carbon Tax they are trying to destroy.
Really funny that you think that because the carbon tax literally takes money from the elites and gives it back to the working class lmfao
Your right, the world oil elite don't want t c tax because it helps pay for government programs. They don't need public schools, police force, road work, c pension because they have gated communities private islands their own public school and health care. The wealthy one percent and down don't care or need Canada except its resources . When its all used up and sold off, you think the one percent will stick around? as always their long gone. If the Carbon Tax is eliminated than their will have to be something else to replace it. Crypto Currency and Rent Banks won't do it, that's already been proven. I don't hear any alternatives from the opposition, where's Smiths and Pollivere's new economic theory? If they have one, it 's not going to help the ones that need it the most.
Daniel DID show a number of strategies.
CBC reporter didn't want to grasp what he was being told.
i love how the media keeps repeating "3 cent increase per liter of gas" and dont mention the rest of added costs which cost us dramatically more money
I love how everyone keeps talking about how bad the carbon tax is and yet no one realizes that provinces can introduce their own programs that meet federal standards and have no carbon tax. Quebec has a Cap and Trade system, they don't pay a carbon tax. BC has it's own carbon tax and the federal one doesn't apply. Everyone blaming the Liberals for something the premiers are refusing to do.
The far left extremists are too brainwashed to perform simple math. Adding to the cost of fuel to heat barns raises the cost of food. Etc etc etc etc and the suppliers and grocers don’t take the hit, the end consumer does.
@@wolfiedude121clearly ur still living off mamas credits card. Sit down and let the adults stop this ridiculous tax
@@thelvadam5113They 100% could stop this tax right now. All the provinces have to do is propose and implement and equal cap and trade system. Then the federal carbon tax wouldn't apply to their province and their citizens wouldn't have to pay. Why do you think Quebec and BC aren't subject to the federal carbon tax?
@@wolfiedude121 you live off mamas credit card and clearly have no clue about managing ur own finances. Just a talking bot
When was it exactly that the CBC became the unabashed voice of the Liberal party of Canada? Shameful as usual CBC. You used to be reputable. Maybe I was simply young and naive
I get it, you want your Conservative politicians to get soft ball questions instead of having to answer for their ideology.....Things like, 'what did you have for breakfast today?' 'How is the weather in your part of Canada?' Stuff like that eh?
@@ddhqj2023 you mean like they do with Trudeau?? No. I want an honest portrayal of the issues. Not simply parroting of liberal talking points. Ask hard questions. Ask them of everyone. That used to be the basis of journalism. Where has it gone? My guess is it has something to do with Trudeau directly paying the journalists salaries
That's just nonsense. The CBC does the same job regardless of who won the last election.
and this is why the CBC must be defunded. No country needs a government funded media that exclusively supports one party by hiding news they don’t want you to see.
@@ddhqj2023Like the type of questions the CBC gives Trudeau? You know, the current prime minister with multiple ethics violations, out of control immigration, out of control housing prices, out of control crime, etc. Liberal idiocy in the extreme.
The public don't support the Liberal Policies, why do they not listen to Canadians.
Exactly, rich and poor 😢 🇨🇦
You are making assumptions about all Canadians, many of us think the Liberals if anything haven’t gone near far enough and that’s our frustration with them, not the minimal efforts they have made like this carbon tax which should most definitely remain.
@@TheTechnoPilot As are you. The irony is beyond your feeble mind, isn't it, captain? ;D
@@TheTechnoPilot Check the polls. Canadians do not support the carbon tax or the Liberal party.
Don’t you mean conservatives.
This increase will effect everything we buy not just oil and gas.
Everything I've read siad the carbon tax adds
We are already being taxed to oblivion. Where is the money going to? Is it going to actual green projects? What technology do we have that can even put a dent in the problem? Who controls the data we are supposed to support? Nobody knows. This government constantly lies and has lost all credibility. This government has lost all trust with its citizens, and the polls show it.
This guy is a complete joke ! And definitely a liberal supporter.
💯 Trudeau's minion
AXE ⚒️ the Tax
A big money distribution scene! That's all this consumer carbon tax is.
Yes, it’s just exactly what the Marxist believe. Redistribution of wealth.
money laundering
@@ChinaWatchCanadano it's redistribution of our wealth
David Cochrane is so bent on supporting the Liberals, he has lost any sense of objectivity.
David will get booted along with Trudeau. BIASED reporter. Jonathan is out of touch with heat pumps that don't work in cold weather
The wacky environment minister actually did say that increasing taxes is the only way to curve the habits of people so therefore it is indeed a punitive approach on Canadian citizens. If can’t afford to buy gas then we won’t buy as much nor drive as much.
Fundamentally when people refuse to take action, it’s a proven fact that society will only make mass change when we see market forces push us to a cheaper alternative, even if we artificially create that pressure.
@@TheTechnoPilot So you agree this is all optics to force people to do what they don't want with little to no evidence this plan will do anything to reduce global emissions.
@@TheTechnoPilotcheaper alternative 😂
Taxes are a great way to push Canada into a recession. Also more companies will leave for a tax friendly country. The more people out of work the less carbon we emit . It's a win win 😅
@@j.barren3738 We're IN a recession. Next stop is DEPRESSION!
David the present plan is going in the wrong direction. Tax is not the answer forcing people off the road, technology is the answer. The computer model is outdated.
exactly
Write your own peer reviewed paper to disprove the many existing papers that show otherwise then! Until then all you’ve got is a belief that’s not founded in science and evidence.
@@TheTechnoPilot The PBO does a good job at debunking it. Maybe give it a read, captain! ;D
@@kanuduh5234 Nah, the PBO actually debunks Conservatives. The PBO has stated that Conservatives are cherrypicking his findings "looking at just one aspect of the report."
"Looking at the big picture, the overall picture, is highly preferable. Anything we do with respect to addressing or trying to curb climate change will have costs. It's either a cost to the carbon tax or regulations to reduce the use of fossil fuel. Regulations also have a cost. Doing nothing would also have costs."
@@garyhaggquist740 The PBO stated nothing partisan like that. You're off your rocker old man 🤣.
You need to read the report and the testimony given by the PBO during the committee hearing he testified at.
Cbc, can you stop being the Liberal Speaker for once? For God's sake
They work hard for that handout!
Exactly
Gotta protect their cash cow.
You don't have to come here and watch it Why don't you go to a channel you like
@@Pheonix384 so we can 💩 in the comments section!
David Cochrane is a joke
I'm going with the experts. Which experts? The ones that agree with me!
The ones they bought and paid for to reach the conclusion they want you to here.
This guy is not a reporter for citizens.
Didn't hear what you wanted to hear? 😞
@@mikeb5664 I heard intense bias from a reporter that most assume would be unbiased as a part of their profession. Obviously the bailouts of main stream media and the resulting bias is working on the less engaged.
@@Pickleriiiiiick Ok, Mr Engaged. Post your sources that prove the bias. You won't, because you can't. Unfortunately for you, facts and reality have a liberal bias. The only thing you've engaged, is your feelings.
David is a puppet for Trudeau and both must GO
Punitive is the whole point from our great dictator.
The carbon tax means we can not produce anything that is carbon intense, so we revert to importing it and make Canada less competitive.
Did you know that globally, solar energy is on track to overtake oil production this year? Canada is lagging in that department.
@@mikeb5664nope. Misinformation
Does David work for Trudeau?
What you do for one province you have to do for ALL provinces
Agree
So destroy the pipelines that are only for Alberta then?
Not sure what that means. I will point out that Peter Lougheed set up the Alberta Heritage Fund when he was Premier. And, if you adjust for inflation, there is less money in that fund today than there was when Lougheed stepped down as Premier in 1986. All these years they could have been building up that fund. Instead it was more important to be the one Province without a Sales Tax. And the Province with the lowest Income Taxes. And the Province with the lowest Corporate Tax rates, in the hope that Head Offices would be moved from Toronto to Calgary. It didn't work. Now we face the crisis of Global Warming, and the principal concern of Albertans is to make sure that we go on burning as much oil, gas, and gasoline as possible. If somebody has a better way of reducing Carbon than a Carbon Tax, I'm happy to hear it. But, the idea that the welfare of working Canadians depends on Carbon emissions is a lie. (You'll notice that none of the Carbon Tax opponents have suggested reducing income tax to help Canadians.)
@@oldmanlearningguitar446 That would only further harm our economy, Alberta is the Oil province, they have like 95% of the oil in our country. Removing those pipelines means less export and worse production which means less income for the economy.
Not when some provinces have their own carbon tax.
Is the bold guy with glasses referring to the economist hired by Trudeau who work for the WEF ?????
Does dave ever let his guests answer, or does he always just try to ask and answer his own questions . Why even bring someone with a different view on the show. This is getting ridiculous with this news outlet. How to believe anything with this guy, all he wants to do is push his own agenda. Look at the polls, Your messaging doesn't align with the majority of Canadians. This tax will ruin lives, wake up, and listen to what Canadians are saying everywhere.
David will lose his job when Trudeau is hammered before defeat.
David is way to partisan for this program
On the contrary, he is as partisan as the liberals pay him to be.
He doesn't want to be a reporter, he wants to be a climate change "specialist".
Thinks he is important with the low ones like Jonathan .Watch out when Pierre rules both of you will be looking for a new job. Canada needs better leaders and reporters
And this is what’s wrong with the world. He says India as an example would book the win for the reduction in carbon if we supply them with more efficient fuels, so what would we do to reduce carbon here in Canada. Shouldn’t we be looking for the largest wins globally to make the biggest impact as a planet while focusing on reductions that are currently feasible and working on inventing/commercializing the fuels and equipment of tomorrow?
You are completely ignoring that it’s not his framing that is making it a zero sum game, it’s Smith’s. Why should we Canadians get to pollute anymore because we helped reduce emissions elsewhere in the world?! We should be always striving and making the sacrifices needed to reduce ours as much as possible which simultaneously helping others around the world do the same. We shouldn’t need to see rewards of not doing our part for helping others.
@@TheTechnoPilotyour ignoring the fact that opposition to the carbon tax isn’t saying we’ll do nothing. They’re saying let’s focus on the largest improvements globally, while co tinting to transition industry to manufacturer/produce more efficiently. The Carbon tax redistribution tax does NOT have to be involved in the list of solutions.
@@JR-qk8kl But this position isn't genuine as it comes directly from oil industry talking points. We can focus on large global improvements while not sacrificing our own internal efforts. Additionally I wouldn't argue that a transition from coal or fuel oil to LNG or biomass is a reasonable or viable transition when near term serious improvements need to be made.
Also he said "compelling by taxation" this is a punitive tax for people to just exist, especially those that have no choice but to drive.
I'm a contractor and work closely with municipalities. That increase will be rolled into my rate which will be rolled into your property tax and services. This is tax that is taxed and then taxed again with a token return that can be advertised to fools.
The people who are getting the rebates are not incentivized to pollute less. They will get the free money based on their income.
The rebate is absolutely not based on income. It is a fixed amount per person.
You might want to let this cbc broadcaster know that
Bro I get the rebate but for my job I have to drive a bunch and it doesn’t cancel out, like I’m losing money too
@@Roguerebel297 Bro, you’re harming us all with your carbon pollution.
What I'd like to know is where is the incentive? As a single mother of 3 in AB I DO receive the rebate, however I also pay out more than I receive back, I must be one of those unlucky 2 out of 10 Canadians then *eyeroll*
I see no alternative solutions being offered, no dangling carrot if you will while they beat you the stick.
Heat pumps? Even with the rebates the initial costs are high, rebates don't hit your pocket instantly and that's just scratching the surface. Renters can't just up and install one, landlords can choose to do this and probably use it as a feature to validate an increase on rent. Then there is the issue of efficiency, I had a heat pump when I was a homeowner on the East Coast - we have surprisingly mild winters on the south shore of NS, and a heat pump there only works well above zero, and around -10 it becomes necessary to have a secondary source of heat. With a fire in the basement and the heatpump at 18° I could heat to a balmy 15° in -10 or below. We used sweaters and blankets because I refused to use the baseboard heaters and pay the extra $ to the NS Power monopoly. Seeing as most of Canada is below -10 for most of the winter... this is not the solution.
What about EVs? I know I certainly can't afford one, as a renter I also have no where to charge one. I can barely afford gas but sure, I'll go finance an EV with these current insane interest rates 😂
"Why would people believe politicians over "professionals" that have spent their whole lives researching?"
Um dont assume Canadians believe either of them.
Those "professionals" supply the answers that the people that pay them are looking for. Modelling and studies are spun quite easily in any direction politicians want it to be.
And as for politicians no need for explaination there...
I agree %100. "scientists" spend their life and careers in nice university cities like Vancouver and Montreal, have their kids go to fancy schools and after school programs. They are going to do and say anything to protect their status. And the rest of us will have to suffer.
It doesn't matter how much an expert knows in their field when they are also corrupt, evil, decadent narcissists that are completely insulated from the real consequences of their policies. @@saxytb
Why would specialists be called same, I mean whose the arbiter of said accreditation anyway. Pulling the notion of "specialists" out of the air, sorry not buying that one, pull the other leg. Wasnt born yesterday, nice try.
Remember we listened to experts during covid!!!???? Good outcome there wasn't there?
Scientists can be bought off or bribed the same way as politicians.
I don't even know why we're having a debate. If this goes to a vote, the carbon tax is gone !!! First off, where is this carbon tax money going to and the only people that get back money or make money or people that don't drive words that are on welfare!!
The consumer pays for the carbon tax twice and only receives one credit. Why does the CBC never report the full picture when debating issues? How is it believable that anyone gets back more than they put in? The third input needs to be considered.
Defund CBC
Why is it always about the lowest denominator and not the average Tax paying Canadian. Starting to sound like the Edmonton city council.
Is there anyone at CBC that watches these videos and see how unaware of reality these hosts are? Liberal vibes
🤣 disagree, the host was making good efforts to hold the ignorant Premier’s feet to the fire for her misinformed remarks and also pushed back on the Liberal Government’s decisions for how they undermined their own policies. Apparently you desperately want Fox News who just regurgitates your political ideology whether it’s founded in reality or not.
Stop watching then
@@Pheonix384best advice on here
It's certainly not Rebel Media.
DEFUND CBC Please
Why?
@@mikeb5664cuz it's liberal propaganda
Absolutely!
People who work hard are being punished with higher taxes and by using wealth transfer schemes like carbon tax contrary free loaders are encouraged and rewarded with hand outs.
And that is the last time I ever watch a CBC programme. Disgraceful.
Call it what whatever you bloody well want, it’s still a tax, and name me one person that likes taxes except the governments that collect them, because they get all their expenses paid for by taxpayers.
And Trudeau gives away to the Greeks ten million to build a community center , he should give this money from his own .
So if we increase the carbon tax, then wild fires will be non-existent, floods wont happen, the temperature above Canada will stagnate. I don't think Carbon Pricing will help at all, it is all about getting the big 3 on board. Until that happens it is just like pissing into the wind. Cameron may be a fair communicator but I can see why is is a past communication officer for JT.
At least David and his program allow comments below....try replying to any other CBC News broadcast. They don't want anyone to read the backlash to biased reporting by CBC journalists, especially Rosemary Barton who always has had a crush on Trudeau...they deserve each other!
Even an $infinity/ton carbon tax in Canada for 100 years wouldn’t yield any measurable changes to the climate. Seasonal fluctuations in atmospheric co2 would amount to more then our greatest possible carbon sacrifice. Roughly 6ppm, or 5 years of Chinese emissions.
Unnoticeable and pointlessly cruel vanity.
A box of strawberries in TX is $2:00 not. $9.00. This touches everything and needs to end asap. They are doing damage that may not be fixable for some time. Tax imported crude not customers.
Smith nailed it!
She certainly did. She increased provincial taxes on gasoline in Alberta, and then goes on to criticize the Federal government for doing it, while issuing rebates for most Albertans!
@@bengt_axlePBO literally said MOST Canadians will suffer a NET LOSS
@@thelvadam5113 That only takes into account the carbon tax. How much property damage and increased cooling costs has resulted from forest fires, heat domes, hail storms and extreme weather that will inevitably get worse if CO2 emissions are not curbed? This will largely outweigh the cost of carbon tax. In Quebec we never had tornadoes, yet now we do, with the warmest winters and hottest summers on record. WE are paying more, not less, due to climate change and it will only get worse.
@@bengt_axlewhat do you mean Quebec “never had tornados”? Lies.
There were 142 recorded tornados in Quebec between 1980 and 2009. There were tornados before 1980 and there have been tornados after 2009. Quebec has always tornados. To say there were NONE and now there are some, and that’s it’s because of climate change/recent carbon emissions……and that it’s a NEW phenomenon is misinformation to push your agenda.
Look it up. There are records kept at the Canadian National Database of Weather Events under the category of tornados by province.
@@bengt_axle
What might work in one province, doesn’t work in every province. Being from Quebec… should know that. And, that’s her point. We need tailored approaches for each province based on our industry, resources, and infrastructure.
If you haven't already why don't you guys have a segment explaining in high resolution the effectiveness of the carbon tax given that you seem to think Daniel Smith position isn't pragmatic or reasonable. What exactly are the "professionals" saying ? She mentioned more solutions and technology to fight climate change then I ever heard being discussed by CBC journalists or the opistion.
8 of 10 get more money back when you only look at their personal purchase of gasoline at a pump and their household utilities. THE PROBLEM with this calculation is that you exclude that this tax also causes EVERYTHING else to go up (except wages) in price COSTING US MORE. WHY? Because this tax is any fossil fuel usage in Canada. You think the grocery store is just going to absorb the increase in keeping the lights on? or how about the self employed truck driver that delivered to that store... that's only 2 increases right there that will pass on to the consumer and that's barely the icing on the cake.
Hard to blame the CBC, if someone was giving you or I billions of free money we would say what ever they wanted us to as well. Together they are stronger against taxpayers.
Are northern countries like Canada assessed the same reduction rates as more temperate climates? I am not sure. Does anybody know because if we are that is unfair.
If a carbon tax is the best way to reduce emissions . Then why doesnt China and India have a carbon tax? They are the biggest polluters. . Also does the planet care if C02 emissions are per capita or not?
But DS can reintroduce the AB gas tax, simply to muddy the waters and pin that on JT.
The conservative government put the tax on hold for 16months. Blame Trudeau and NDP
Thank you for reminding me why I don’t watch the CBC news. Congrats Danielle, I couldn’t have put up with the stupidity of this interviewer
"Carbon tax" punitive?
Um, if she can give me an example of a tax that isn't punitive. 😧
Alberta Premiere is just so much smarter than this reporter
Defund CBC !!
Way to go Smith!!!
Let’s see the studies that show carbon tax has reduced Carbon emissions more than our increased usage of Natural gas
My god he's quoting Tiff from the bank if Canada. The guy that should be fired for letting the government print billions of dollars which creates inflation which means interest goes up, who told Canadians go ahead and take out mortgages, interest will be going down and within months starts raising interest rates! This reporter has always been a mouth piece for the Liberal/NDP government!
This journalist is part of the roadblock to climate action
All provinces did not have the same carbon profile when the tax was implemented, so it is not fair for all Canadians.
I'm so glad it takes a premier like Smith to challenge this liberal government on carbon tax .ps I live in ontario.
Agree, in Ontario too
How do you like her bigger increase in the Alberta excise tax on fuel? Bigger than the carbon tax increase.
So how does getting rid of the carbon tax help you? What else can we do to punish financially people who pollute? How can we move forward with conservatives trying to make polluting easier for big oil?
@@oldmanlearningguitar446 Trudeau and libs are the problem.
She’s a hypocrite. No one wanted her to put a gas tax back on Jan 1 but she did anyway.
Natural gas in Alberta is 1.72 and the tax is $4.02. How does this punitive tax change we have to heat our homes. How come the cbc NEVER calls out China or India. They are building coal plants but Justin goes not want to sell cleaner natural gas. Maybe David should educate himself about how climate is global and Canada is not that imprtant
Engineers are experts in the field, economists are simply bean counter
For the record when people say the carbon tax will "cost just about 3cents more" kindly note the exact amount is 3.3cents. Not sure why everyone is rounding it down as it will add up.
The cost is currently $0.1431/L and the new price April is $0.1761/L.
Based on my last fuel stop that means carbon tax accounts for 10.40% of my fuel cost (regular). If fuel inputs remain as-is then fuel costs increases by 2.17% from the tax. Need to look back at heat bills. I will crunch the numbers but just between heat and fuel I will pay more than I receive and that just to live as I work from home.
Imagine those who drive everyday to work, do trips during the summer and then the usual daily travels for essentials...
Canada accounts for 1.5% of the world's emissions.
2:37 "... dual combustion with ammonia into their existing coal fired stream...] .. That's a really interesting development. There's also talk of dual hydrogen/ammonia fuel.
And those rebates are not true you don't get your money back.
What do you call Alberta's gas tax going on the same day as the carbon tax?
Awesome?
CBC = liberal point (bias opinion),
poor people’s biggest concerns is home food transportation to n from work climate change is not even close to the top of the list. yes it’s important but it’s not my priority today. Bring better technology from the huge polluters,
Here’s an idea tax china products has they are among the worst. Why are they not doing more because the majority are poor point same for India. Now imagine we have new Tec to lower our emissions we can make our needs here in Canada not relying on other countries. More jobs for Canada and we can control the emissions or ensure our factories are clean
But hey Liberals can not even get clean water to our rural indigenous but making my life unaffordable will fix climate change …RIGHT !
The experts are wrong, they are living in a bubble. There should not have a carve out if this scheme works
I live on the East Coast and in 2017 installed a heat pump to reduce my heating costs! And it did …. One of the best decisions ever plus I received a small rebate that only saved me some of taxes, I was happy enough with that!
David, the mouthpiece for the liberal party, he just can't look at things the other way, it's always the liberals are right and everyone else is wrong, and economists are not always right, in fact they are more wrong most of the time, there are many ways to fight climate change other than a carbon tax, each province must do what works for it not one size fits all, go Daniell Smith
I don’t know how she can dumb it down anymore for David.
First order of business for PM PP- defund and dismantle this LPC pravda
Why do we need 200 economist wouldn't like 10 or 20 be able to do the job? Government is too big!
why have any, they are all socialists anyway
Our environment minister doesn’t actually care about the environment. I live on the other side of the country and I truly believe that Danielle SMITH actually cares about our environment and our country. I’m an East coaster. I was raised liberal liberal liberal. But I have an open mind.
Before thr carbon tax, people weren’t adjusting their carbon decisions. So just saying that you’ll put more money bqck in peoples pockets and they’ll magically just go and use less fossil fuels is wishful thinking.
Well said 👏

Let’s make Alberta the world headquarters for flat earth, only in Alberta can we make this happen!! Let’s get our schools in line now!
@@freezebrain4905😂😂😂
Make Alberta Great Again, lol. Poilièvre-Trump 2025.
We can thank Alberta for being the first to introduce a carbon tax.
The PMO budgetary office, ON YOUR SHOW, also said that when you take all the economic effects of the carbon tax everyone is worse off. The BOC did come out and say that carbon taxes are adding to inflation. Are you an advocate for Liberal policy or a reporter?
So what are you guys trying to say?
Is this a environmental policy
Or
A wealth transfer policy
Rebates to citizens living in poverty that are driving mostly older vehicles? Also the highest Co2 producing technology 😳
Why are you trying to talk to a Trudeau employee....wasting your time Danielle Smith
Trying to make things even harder for citizens who are struggling to live and buy food, while simultaneously trying to deter the yse of gas that LITERALLY is the only options for Canadians who live in minus 40 degree weather half the year is so utterly brainless
Carbon tax does not reduce emissions! Dont be ignorant
RCMP are issuing warnings about civil unrest because they are worried as soon as Canadians realize how broke homeless jobless and leaderless they are:
Jonathon Wilkinson does not even pay attention during Question Period. Most of the time he is talking to Guillbeault like they are the only two individuals in the House of Commons.
Of course none of the things we can "work on together" actually work. Nor would we be working on it together. Carbon capture doesn't work at any reasonable level. Hydrogen power is a bust as well. It costs more energy to make the hydrogen than it puts out. These are just things to prolong the oil and gas sectors primacy. Not even a minute in and she's shucking and jiving for O&G money...
Geez, the Climate Institute that he references is funded by Guilbeault. He writes the article and then references it lol.
The revenue from the carbon price itself is required by law to be returned to households and businesses through rebates and granting programs. But that does not apply to the sales tax, which is collected on top of the carbon price.
Global did a story (late Friday afternoon) about the raises that 338 MPs are getting on April 1st. Where's the CBC story on the raises?
This could have been told weeks ago. Why does Canadian media wait until the Friday afternoon before the raise happens? “the index of the average percentage increase in base-rate wages for a calendar year in Canada resulting from major settlements negotiated in the private
sector(4.4 per cent in 2023).” Anybody know what average company gave out 5 raises in 5 years with two being 10% and 4.4% ?
Nope. 2% at best. Most people I know have not received a raise at all in the private sector over the last five yrs.
If wages were remotely keeping up with inflation, we might have a chance of keeping our heads above water.
@@janetmohn5376 Canadians are being conned by the government's method of giving
themselves a raise every year. Why isn't the media on top of this rip off by the government.
Heat pumps don't work well at -20C, if at all. I've lived with one and without an alternate heat source it just won't cut it.
Premier Smith is way too gentle in her response. If it were Mr. Poilievre when CBC mentioned these "models" and "professionals who devoted their life to this study", he would be biting into an apple and asking CBC to give him the specifics of these models together with the names of the professionals, including which organizations were paying them. He would then completely destroy the reporter's points.
Thanks @DanielSmith for having the patience to try and explain the simple facts of life in Canadian will CBC spout out the liberal pmo script the gave him for your interview.

"Programs like child care"
Where is gov. going to get child care workers from?
The most likely would be from health care. Those will be the most likely to have the skill set to do that job.
Now up go health care wait times, or other areas that the draw for child care workers would come from.
Where does he think early child care workers are going to come from and what areas of employment is going to be shortchanged with their removal?
We never needed a carbon tax in the first place as we were already paying twice the price for gas and diesel ect at the time that the US was paying in 2019 That was $1.80 at the pumps for a 3.78 liter gallon of gas
As scheduled…???? We weren’t supposed to get any hikes after 2022. Pathetic… we need an election now
Albertans call their Premier punitive.
Magical thinking is that the rest of the world will be as idealistic as Canada when we created a society based on wealth.
No one mentions the cost to administer this carbon rebate. Wonder why?????😮
It is important to keep an open mind, so I have watched two segments of this.
Why is there not questions asked to the leaders that have in operation, parts of industry that are taking tons of carbon out of the air, how are you doing it? How can we improve this technology that is already working?
All I hear is that you get more money back than what you put in, with no plan on the table for what the cash is being used for specifically. It is not going into the proven carbon capture technology in Saskatchewan, in fact that is never mentioned, is it even known about to the general population?
So I am holding onto my view that the CBC and the general media are bought off, and preaching one angle that the government wants hammered on. Looking forward to the media gravy train de-railing.
We need to talk more about a living wage for everyone. And that means a living wage. The government needs to consider.
Guaranteed income for everyone. That's really get on board with this. Because corporations are so greedy that they don't want to lose 50 billion dollars. So they keep making a 150 billion dollars in profits.But they don't pay their people a decent wage.So maybe they should lose 50 billion to pay their people at decent wage.Maybe they're out of laws against this greedy profiteering
Hey CBC, why have you stopped allowing comments on your web site ??
Since ever the CPC has taken a big lead you have systematically eliminated comments.
As a heavily taxpayer funded media you have a moral obligation to allow us to comment
What’s moronic, is no matter what anyone comes with for this. Someone’s still gotta pay for it, and it’ll be all of us, except the rich!!!
Add to the stress and to the cost of living. How much more can we pay? Have the govenment lost its mind?
