Two issues. One, why does climate science fly in the face of elementary science? Carbon is required by plants, to exist. We do not exist if plants do not exist. If Worldwide levels of CO2 is 0.04%, and plants die at 0.02% as reported at a US Congress meeting discussing Climate Change, then what carbon footprint are we trying to reduce? Furthermore, if humans were not to exist, the planet would still be the same as it is. Forest fires would still occur. Fossil fuels would still get burnt up, as everything that is buried, resurfaces. The only difference is trees, and various other plants would not be destroyed at a phenomenal rate, and NOT replaced. We have concrete jungles, and very few trees, in said concrete jungles. The sun, still touches the streets, and buildings. Before, when there were trees, there was shade, and the heat was subdued. Now, they take trees out of cities. Killing shade, and stone, in the form of roads and buildings retain heat, allowing it to permeate throughout the night. Two, why during a "climate crisis", does all levels government force Canadians to concentrate carbon emissions, every spring, summer, and fall? Allow me to explain. Every spring all Municipalities, and Provinces, tear up roads, bottle-necking traffic through very few paths. They don't simply tear up, and repair one at a time. Noooo, they tear up a lot of roads. Work on a couple, and then rush to get the torn up roads repaired when the snow flies. Seems to me, they are bottle-necking traffic through areas to support their climate change fear monger campaigne.
They've let more burn than they've planted, Not letting forest fires manipulate the figures in a negative way much are they. It's making the carbon sink of our forests decrease and raise the numbers they use to say the tax isn't working and needs to be higher !
Wow. thats bad! Wish mainstream media will cover this so they can better educate themselves on whats really going on. I bet they will blame this on the wildfires
I just checked and it says the per capita consumption of energy has gotten worse since the 70s. The same amount of electricity we used in the 70s to light up one room now does the entire house. The windows in the 70s didn't even have seals and the wind used to blow through them bringing in the cold. The furnace efficiency was low compared to now. I spend $1000-$1200 a year on gasoline now and in the 80s, I was spending about $1700. How is it possible I use more energy and I'm not the only one who is more efficient? I have to suspect the numbers are rigged or people are just flat out lying.
@@taurkon I'm going with a hard no on that. We used incandescent lighting. Less than 5 percent of the energy consumed goes to light, the rest is heat. My sister had three 100 watt light bulbs in the ceiling fixture and a 60 watt lamp. A laptop and smartphone consume about 60 watts. When in comes to heating a house with old dual sliding panes of glass in a wood frame, they used to ice up, which we looked forward to because it stopped the cold air. You couldn't come within 3 feet of the front window without the cold burning your skin. The weather was way colder and winter lasted way longer than it does now. EVERYTHING points to we should naturally be using less electricity and energy with our now insulated houses, and efficient LEDs and appliances, milder winters and new fuel efficient cars with emissions systems. The report was per capita meaning we may use more energy now , but there are more people to average it out over. I'm typing this on my 50 watt laptop under 18 watts worth of LED with a 50 watt electric smoker cooking dinner. Back in the day the 2 overhead lightbulbs alone would have been 120 watts.
None of it had to do with lowering emissions. All illegal laws need to be hidden in a public interest and safety message and that is just what they claimed because most Canadians do not care to learn how to tell the difference between legal and illegal laws which they openly brag about. Look at the data... they just slapped it on without looking at the consequences, if it will work, etc. They have been adding taxes on gas for years... have it worked? If you cannot tell this is an arbitrary law then you should not be involved in politics since that is the science of debating legal and illegal laws. "We are going to put on a tax that will not work to achieve what we said it would and there is no proof it would..." Not sure what system they are using but illegal laws are always based on lies, hypocrisy or no valid reason given due to the way the mind justifies decisions. Find any in the reasons they gave?
But the Liberals have spent $160 billion on climate initiatives since 2015? Why does Canada need to drastically reduce Canada's GHG emissions? Canada is responsible for 1.41% of world GHG emissions. Let's look at some other countries and their emissions: China has 31.2 % of world GHG emissions, and its carbon tax is $10 per ton of GHG emissions. The USA accounts for 12.7% of world GHG emissions. There is no national carbon tax, and only 8 US States have a carbon pricing scheme. India has 7.7% of world GHG emissions and a carbon tax of $2. per ton of GHG emissions Russia 5.4% of world GHG emissions carbon tax 0 Canada has 1.41% of world GHG emissions. The carbon tax is $80 per ton of GHG emissions but going up to $170 per ton by 2030. Bit much don't you think? Canada's power grid is 82% emission-free, and the country is a world leader in clean electricity: 70% of Canada's electricity comes from renewable sources and 82% from non-greenhouse gas (non-GHG) emitting sources such as solar, hydro, wind and nuclear power. Canada is the world's third-largest producer of hydroelectricity. But all the Trudeau liberals talk about is climate change and climate crisis?
Wow tru-doh bragged about the fact we were on track . To be in last place maybe and to jam home his increase to the carbon tax . What lies he weaves. Unbelievable
Exactly, there are piles of rocks here on the Manitoba prairies, that don't belong here. How did they get here, an event involving a rather large amount of ice. where did that ice go ,it melted. Surprise surprise it happened way before man started the industrial revolution and Henry Ford invented the model T car !
" How? " , you ask? Simple. We are already the lowest carbon producing country, combined with the most freaking trees. For china to cut 1% of their daily output would be huge, for canada to cut the same volume of carbon we would need to shut down everything for a month.
Here's a thought as to why America is doing better. When citizens are well compensated, don't have to worry where their next meal will come from and worry they won't be able to pay their rent, people will start to look to other problems and seek ways to fix those problems. Canadians are broke, worried, and stressed. This carbon tax will NEVER work in those circumstances.
It's actually fairly easy, 315 billion trees in Canada, cleaning 13 times the c02 out of the atmosphere as we produce. They don't calculate trees into their equations.
Before you go any farther --- how do you measure carbon tonnage WHEN you have NO control of the prevailling winds. ?? This is just plain FOOLISH SPECULATION !!!
That would take creating an entirely new department consisting of thousands of jobs with the end result being “NO” “we can’t but it should be available shortly”. AKA. Never!!!
Who measures carbon emissions and how do they do it? Beyond that I would love to see the modelling they are using to project our output. They should also table the 300 economists that support the 8/10 Canadians get more money back claim. They are double and triple reporting on our emission reduction efforts!! I don’t care that the government departments are siloed. The PBO should easily make that adjustment prior to publication!!
BECAUSE OF CARBON TAX... not despite. It disinsentivized the pursuit of cleaner and more efficient fuel and engines for Internal Combustion which is what 97% of us depend on for survival.
We know how that can be. Saving the environment is the biggest grift for politicians in Canada of all time. There is really no equal to the flagrant waste, mismanagement and fraud that has taken place in the name saving environment. Committees with no accountability, no proper oversight, no punishments for criminal behaviour ran wild in the last several years. Of course they have achieved even less than even the least optimistic critic could have imagined. They would have had a more positive effect on the environment if they had spent all that money on hookers and blow. Hookers would spend back into the economy and not dump it into an off shore account. AND At least it would have saved all those globe trotting carbon emitting flights on private Jets to conferences around the world. What they accomplished was worse than nothing.
If China and India want to get on board with climate change, then I will definitely go along with it. Until then, no amount of money will fix anything. Taxing it is just punishing the Canadian people for buying basic needs. What is Canada’s contribution to global levels again?
So sad they don’t have a clue this is hard to watch the idiots sad paid liers and get called on them can back anything all talk no silence to follow totally lies . What a bunch of idiots
We drove our cars to the bank to cash our pay checks . We thought Justin had it under control. Whaaaat were we supposed to work on this .?I thought this was a vacation supplement. Duh
The Carbon Tax it’s just BS
Thats a "F" for Trudeau

CO2 is not a pollutant
Without CO2, Humans cease to exist.

It was always about taking from the taxpayer and giving to family and friends of the party, quite a few have gotten very very rich since 2015

I would guess that today we use significantly more electronic devices that would account for at least some of the bump.

The carbon tax is not reducing emissions. Its making people poor.
And a few people very rich.
We are the carbon that's being taxed. 😂😂😂

The Boreal Forest. 😮 Carbon neutral.
Carbon negative. The trees alone in Canada uptake 13 times the c02 we produce.
@barley12girl Yes . I was being generous saying neutral. 👍✌🙏
Money going to US owners to cut emissions but keeping money for themselves and stock holders
So, basically the carbon tax is just an extortion scheme? What the actual eff.😮
I’ll have to get a report on that? What does one report of what appears to be a multi report system cost Canadian taxpayers?
We now know where he came up with the$400 million dollar slush fund . To pad his cabinets pockets .
Canada doesn’t produce anything but raw resources now, small population compared to the other G7. Yet the highest taxes of
The G7???
Can we get a report on how many reports it takes to report a total failure?
That would take creating an entirely new department consisting of thousands of jobs with the end result being “NO” “we can’t but it should be available shortly”. AKA. Never!!!
@ is that reportable report back Monday
Money lsundering, guised as geeen initiatives.
Quebec not part of Canada is still included in Canadian emissions. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Grow more trees, look after our forests properly.
We still have the third most trees on the planet, right behind Russia and Brazil. Our trees alone uptake 13 times the emissions we produce.

How do our emissions go down when you are trying to cram Canada full of immigrants
