There is a better solution. Get rid of Trudeau.
So true
In get read of CBC to
What is the better solution? No one has provided one. Even economists have said the carbon tax is the cheapest way to fight climate change.
@@briguy677 Climate change is a naturally occurring phenomenon that is happening, but not because of us. Temperatures have been fluctuating up and down for thousands of years. There is lots of free data on the subject. We are not going to make any significant difference at all. But we will certainly cripple ourselves trying in vain to do so. We need to Listen to scientists and not politicians. Stopping climate change is a hoax to scam money from the working man and nothing more.
Trudeau MUST GO. Coup out for Trudeau now saying primers can bring a different plan. David must be paid by Justin
Scott Moe is a hero for his province
Only among his craven followers. A hero would champion education and healthcare not pick fights with the feds. If he cared about his province he'd be home working on his education shortcomings or fixing our healthcare.
Unlike Eby
Liberals and the taxes bloated UN talks about climate change as if it was a thing when it is clearly not. It's a big lie
@@JohnnyBee-he6qi jealous much?
Maybe tax the private jets and all the luxury vehicles more with carbon tax rather than taxing middle to lower class citizens.
Approximately 90% of fuel charge proceeds are used to directly support families through Canada Carbon Rebates, delivered quarterly by cheque or direct bank deposit. 8 out of 10 households get more money back than they spend on the fuel charge.Feb 14, 2024
@@micksylvestre2887 Don't the companies just pass the tax they get charged onto consumers?
Or not taxing ANYONE to begin with. We all know it's NOT lowering emissions or driving alternative tech. Canada produces less than 2% of global emissions. We can't change NOTHING globally.
@@snicketysnickerdoodle8484 Don't consumers stop buying (and combusting) their prohibitively expensive products at some point, instead choosing the cheaper alternatives from their sustainable competitors?
lower and middle class families get more back than they pay in. Average family of 4 pays about $400 bucks a year and gets $1200 bucks back 4 times a year. It is done as a determent to pollute not a penalty on poluters.
A big thumbs up for Scott Moe in the face of the CBC liberal party echo chamber.
You like outlets that ask softball questions of your precious conservatives don't you?
It’s strange this cbc reporter know how much the carbon tax reduces carbon emissions,the other day the environment minister said they don’t track how much emissions go down by the carbon tax
Yes I found that a rich statement as well. They suddenly started spewing “look it’s working” bs just to try to justify. I believe the bs level is on the same curve.
It’s very hard for CBC to understand that there are politicians out there that still listen to their electorate. These public servants work for the people and not for Justin Trudeau.
LOL like who???
the electorate is very silent! last time electorate made some noise was palestine protests and before that trucker protests.
exactly, well said and all premiers should do the same. trudeau was not elected king or god!
Conservative politicians aren't listening to the whole electorate - not the people who don't vote for them, and not to the people who want climate action and who support a proven market solution like carbon pricing. The largest ever study on carbon pricing proves that it works at lowering fossil fuel emissions growth rates.
@@garyhaggquist740liberals need to understand that we live in a democracy. There are MORE people against carbon tax - therefore, Premieres are compelled to push back against the carbon tax. I agree that carbon tax has merits but there are other ways to address climate change without bankrupting the working class. I’d rather see Canada supply natural gas to the rest of the world and put those coal burning countries out of business.
Those politicians wor for the oil companies and spin oil company propaganda as 'for the people'.
Maybe tax cbc so they don't spew lies
Imagine that... this host alone would pay off the national debt in no time.
Get over that ridiculous nonsense! They're reasonably on the up and up and ask hard questions when it's called for. If anything, people like Scott Moe and Danielle Smith are spewing lies. I was listening to him today and he left out relevant information. Saskatchewan isn't doing a good job of bringing their emissions down at all. They only ESTIMATE the emissions from their oil production and an actually measurement of those emissions last year, found that they are actually 30 to 40% HIGHER than Saskatchewan is saying.
this show exemplifies the importance of the CBC. it's an interview. what i am watching is a premier repeatedly spread disinformation by referring to the carbon tax as INFLATIONARY which has been clearly debunked.
Measure their noses for lies and tax accordingly.
Poor conservative babies so scared of facts.
Keep crying while the rest of us deal with the tough problems.
THe reality is that companies are just passing the extra expenses/tax to consumers. ITs always the ordinary people that suffers. We definitely carry the burden financially.
Then make regulations stricter and give real teeth to enforcement to ensure they don’t pass on these charges versus allowing their profits to run rampant!
The next thing that happens is the consumers stop buying products from those unsustainable companies that have become too expensive to compete with the sustainable alternatives. And in so doing, we reduce our emissions and transition our economy.
Rich stay rich .. middle stay middle or get poor. And poor live off the middle class
Moe could have proposed more direct supports than this rebate for all of those communities. The poor. The disabled. First Nations. Refugees. etc. He could have proposed we get the money from the upper class alone. Or from producers directly. But he didn't. Instead he cites dubious and likely greenwashed industry marketing campaigns that have had only disappointing results, even after all of these years and subsidies. Our emissions continue to increase. We keep producing more fossil fuels and continue to use unsustainable practices because of this blind ideology, even when so many alternatives are available.
@@Method9 there are no other options for the vast majority of Canadians but nice pipe dream
Hmm how about a segment on how our productivity is going down the toilet and we’re all poorer for it ?
Sad that the ceeb is avoiding that. I guess since we chance climate change the sacrifice is our ec😅onomy per capita
Canada the only country thats not using their natural resources..
Canada is actually the riches company in terms of natural resources
Basic math is something CBC and Liberals are at kindergarten mode
These people are disgusting laughing while people are struggling to put food on the table hope CBC is defunded.
Bring down emissions by giving the world cleaner energy. Replace global coal with our LNG and bring down more emissions than the carbon tax ever could. Plus we get the credit for it instead of being demonized and restricted from doing it.
Greece, germany and few others have approched trudeau to sell them LNG to get off of russias supply. Trudeau refused all of them.
But the greatest technological advancement of the 21st century is how weather and climate can be regulated by taxes.
Nice deflection. Works on the ignorant but you know better I'm sure. But hey, for you a soundbite with no meaning is A-ok right?
@@ddhqj2023 no, for real paying taxes will reduce how much CO2 is produced when you burn stuff. There's a study done in 3000 BC that proved when you pay taxes the gods will provide perfect weather. Come on it's the 21st century now and you don't get it.
You can feel the sadness in Moe's voice as he has to defend breaking an evil law in order to have fairness for all Candians.
I saw anger and good for him
@@ggrg-ks6uu yes me too
Moe is a good man. He’s my MLA and true to his word. He was voted in with 85% support in his riding.

The federal government has no right to tax home heating.
Home heating is a necessity for survival that should not be punished by a carbon tax.
how is it that they can charge a GST upon the Carbon Tax?
Does anybody else find it rich that the same economists only a couple years ago that told us "inflation was 'transitionary', wasn't going to be a problem, definitely government spendjng has little to almost no effect on our inflation",
also say that the carbon tax has little to almost no effect on inflation. 😂
Inflation is going down and the carbon tax is returned via rebate, to most Canadians unless you're one of the ultra wealthy. Try to keep up.
@@ddhqj2023 did you not watch PnP yesterday and the words that came out of the PBO mouth. 6/10 are out of pocket now and by 2030 8/10. And 70% of Canadians dont support the Carbon tax. What am I missing.

Trudeau appears to be insanely out of touch with the financial situation of the average Canadian. I have cut back on everything I can. I found lower condo insurance, dropped my pet insurance, dropped my fitness membership, dropped cable tv, dropped Netflix and now have only internet. And this is not enough to cover increases in strata fees, mortgage interest, property taxes, condo insurance, utilities and food. Despite being in a low income bracket, it is not low enough for me to qualify for the dental program. How much freaking more do we have to pay in taxes to satisfy Trudeau? Will I now have to give up a meal everyday to pay his damn carbon tax? I am not surprised that so many LOATHE him!!!
Conservatives giving tax breaks to the rich and to corporations isn't going to improve the lives of any lower-middle class Canadians.
And much of the Canadian population seems entirely out of touch with their own pocketbooks with what actually is affecting their cost of living. I definitely sympathize with your situation but especially at likely your situation you will be getting a far greater return than you pay. You’ll have a net loss if they repeal it!
Maybe it's your age that is keeping you from qualifying for dental at this point. Are you over 70? And you're getting your carbon tax rebate so you're being silly about that.
You need to make more money
Every nation on earth is dealing with the economic fallout from a pandemic, war in Europe, and a climate crisis. You think Conservatives, the party that has always served the interests of elites - would have avoided what every nation is confronting? And that Conservatives will suddenly stand with working Canadians who are struggling - when Conservatives never have? We would be in arguably worse shape if Conservatives had been in power the last 8-9 years.
The last Conservative gov, in which Poilievre was a cabinet minister - had the worst economic & jobs creation performance of any Can gov since WW2. They inherited a $12+ billion surplus and turned it into a deficit in less than 2 years (before the recession hit.) Poilievre has voted 3X against building affordable housing - voted 2X against raising minimum wages - and voted against dental care for kids from low income families - when he's had taxpayer funded dental care for 20 years. Who's being fooled by Poilievre?
There is only one group of people that pay the carbon tax it is the average family not the corporations. As a corporation just passes the cost on to the end user. Wake up people.
Then time for much stricter regulations plus enforcement action that has real teeth!
this is why the average family get more in rebate than they pay.
@@TheTechnoPilot why is regulation better than putting a cost on carbon?
@@joeisawesome540 oh it’s not, I want both!
Facts only middle class Canadian pay this tax ..
Trudeau’s Carbon tax is not a policy, It’s a dictate. Had the carbon tax strategy been developed collaboratively between all provinces and territories, then I would consider it “Policy”. For Trudeau to say, if you don’t like it ,come up with a better solution, he’s about 7-1/2 years too late, proving that he was severely under qualified for the job, so resign!
Take away this reporter's lucrative salary and maybe he would change his tune.
Simply make him live in a small Saskatchewan town for a year or two (most of these media productions are in Ontario). On minimum wage, of course. I have thankfully joined the middle class, but I still struggle, I cannot afford to travel, for instance.
I love Moe . Wish we had him . FIRST to end the vaccine mandates , first to say no to the everything tax . Finally a government worker doing their job
Moe = freedum
Yes Moe is amazing, we no longer pay carbon tax on Sask Energy but we still pay it to SaskPower. They collected the carbon tax and aren't remitting it so Saskatchewan may not get the carbon tax rebate and so far there is nothing from them about us getting what we paid on Energy back. So right now we will not get carbon tax rebate and we aren't giving that money we paid back to the province. As for the vaccine mandates, he was scared of a right wing Christian group who threatened to not vote for him. So how exactly is this government doing their job?
Him and Danielle Smith are the leaders Canada needs in the provinces, at the federal level: you need Pierre.
@CarriesBee what a surprise an ndp Carla beck supporter😂😂😂
@@CarriesBeehow's voting for the ndp worked for you I believe now leader numer six
How much of this carbon tax is being directed to Ukraine? Last I checked war isnt carbon neutral so Canada shouldnt even be involved if the carbon tax is meant to protect the environment.
Newfoundland to Scotland (in Europe) is 1600 KM. Russia to Canada across the melting Arctic Circle is not really much more, maybe even less. I won't argue politics or military strategy with you, you figure it out.
Cut the carbon bs and send Trudeau packing.
None of those record breaking issues will ever be fixed by taxing 1% of the world.
Suppose the government could raise the carbon tax to an unlimited level today without any blow back from the electorate. At what price would the government be able to stop the wild fires in Canada? In other words, how does taxing carbon in Canada stop wild fires from happening if other countries don't change their ways? Canada can do all it wants to fight climate change but unless the rest of the world follows suit it will never matter what we do at home.
But this is the weird thing. By their logic, the government seems to think the entire Earth is Canada. As if there is no other carbon emissions outside of Canada, and because of that, the Canadian government can control the weather and climate with taxes. Essentially, these political leaders seem to think they are God and Canada is the universe.
They pay eco communists to light them.
Once government gets a so called emergency and sink there teeth in with taxes, it loses all credibility. Emergencies are revenue gold mine for governments.
And we can't sell this plan to other countries if the sales pitch is "do this and you won't win the next election unless you call it during a pandemic"
Canada should wait for the rest of the world to have clean water and air before we do anything? Absurdist. We are a country that can afford to do something about it. You are going to be waiting a long time for Haiti to pull their weight, for instance.
What dumb questions. Sask, Manitoba and Alberta are the heaviest places for agriculture, of course they’ll naturally have higher emissions. Unless you’d rather have less food?
I'd rather have less fertilizers produced via Haber-Bosch. Nobody has to starve. Real alternatives exist.
Exactly
Why, yes: they would.
I’m pretty sure JT wants us to have less food.

What can Canada realistically lower our global emissions by ?
If we emit 1.5% what can we drop that by 0.2% 0.3% ?
When mass export of LNG to get China, India and others off their dirtier energy sources can reduce global emissions by 20% or more easily and quickly
If global emissions was the goal then the Liberals would be championing Energy East and building LNG plants on the West and East coasts and exporting LNG to the world !
This is not about lowering global emissions !
@brian6697 But LNG doesn't lower emissions. It is approximately equivalent to coal when accounting for the full lifetime emissions of its production, transportation and infrastructure.
At best, LNG is an expensive sidegrade from coal.
At worst, we will find it to be worse than coal because almost of the warming of CH4 is bundled into the first two decades or so after its release into the atmosphere, unlike CO2 which gives us well over a century before it has trapped all of its heat. As we're approaching the verge of +1.5C and the self sustaining feedback loops beyond, increases in CH4ppb could well be what push us over the edge.
That, and LNG is faaar from pure methane.
@@Method9 LNG is cleaner with lower emissions than coal, It is what we have right now and in abundance and what we can use to lower emissions right now to a large degree until better technology can be brought online like mass nuclear energy
Just google china and coal plants they are building new plants on a weekly basis and are going to be building them for another 25 years
Canada can do nothing in Canada to actually reduce global emissions yet like I said mass export of LNG around the world to get other countries to lower their emissions IS what Canada can actually do to reduce global emissions
😂😂😂
That's right, there was likely only 7,000 who viewed that interview live. That's because nobody watches this sad excuse for journalism.

I cant wait till there is no more CBC
Even JT's wife could not stand him, let alone most Canadians.
Trudeau has gone bonkers ! Scott Moe on the other hand has a lot of common sense, he's the one 'beacon' of intelligence together with Alberta's Premier.
Tell the truth. You don’t need a carbon target because carbon is not a problem. Call bs already.
and be a ..denier??? that would cost them money.
For 800,000 years, the world's climate has been relatively steady and supported life. During that time, atmospheric carbon content operated between two extremes of low to high to low to high again. Always within the trend lines. But now, the carbon level is twice what it was at it's highest point in that 800,000 years and it shows no sign of slowing and returning to the trend line.
The carbon acts like a blanket around the earth, and the thicker that blanket becomes, the less heat from the sun and our activities can escape and the planet warms and warms and warms. The ice at the poles is melting and it will cease to act as air conditioners for the planet, ocean currents that move warm and cool water around the globe will slow and potentially stop which will make equatorial areas become too hot to grow food........ Carbon is a problem. You just have never bothered to learn about it. So in the interest of educating you a little, here's a website link that has a couple of graphs that show the trend lines and CO2 levels of the past 800,000 years. royalsociety.org/news-resources/projects/climate-change-evidence-causes/question-7/#:~:text=Measurements%20of%20air%20in%20ice,particularly%20remarkable%20%5Bfigure%203%5D.
Yeah they'd get sued for lying publicly about climate science. CO2 is absolutely a problem. CH4 is too.
Ya. Different if we were significant polluters. Get in touch, Turdy!!
@@amproject1875 But we are significant polluters. The highest emissions per capita in the world. The 4th largest producers of oil and gas in the world, tied with China. And too many denialists pretending that they don't have to change a thing about their gas heated mansions, third monster pickup truck next to the hummer in the driveway and their gas powered boat out back. The rest of Canada isn't like this.
Go Moe!!!!!

@@joeisawesome540If you aren't paying a tax, then NOT getting 80% of it back in a quarterly cheque, this is a bad thing? This is a political impression, not a real thing. And quite frankly....

And I consider myself in the lower echelons of "Middle Class".

It is a democracy.
Democracy elects victors.
It does not elect losers.
It results in losers sometimes, but you're talking about how decisions get made by a democratic government that was elected.
Canada does not vote on policies as they come.
Canada elects parties, or independents one day maybe, and they enact the policies they want, until the next election, if they have the votes in the legislature, which party whips ensure.

David Cochrane should run for the Liberal Party. He would make a wonderful Environment Minister. He's even more extreme than Guilbeault. I wish he would question the government with such vigor on how they can do what they do to Canadians. This is why media should be independent and not bought and paid for by the government.
Why is cbc so pro tax? It's not like fuel is cheap in the first place.

The CBC needs to lose its Federal funding.
Thankyou Premier Moe you are a hero in our Province
I don't know if he did something criminal or illegal. If he did, then arrest him if he's confessing to committing the crime on TV.
The carbon tax certainly has made my life more expensive overall. Like Pierre Poilievre said it makes everything in your life more expensive. My property taxes have increased. The plumber is charging more per hour. I pay more for parts. My car insurance costs more even though I have no accidents, claims or tickets. So everything costs more but the carbon tax does not reduce emissions at all. Generally people will cut back on luxury items like getting a hamburger or some fries or going out. Everything is slowing down.
The Bank of Canada said the economy is sluggish. It also said there not enough jobs being created and so there is less revenue for the government. There is too little investment to create good paying jobs. So the carbon tax simply gives the government more income but it is also slowing the economy down too.
Once again Trudeau won't admit that he needs the money from the carbon tax to pay the bills. He is wrecking the economy.
There are all kinds of jobs in building the transition. We have all kinds of upgrades that are needed for our power grids to run on 100% renewables. Opportunity abounds.
@@Method9Please, Oh Guru. Show me the Way!
@@ThorOdinssohn The plumber and insurance rates aren't the carbon tax. Inflation isn't the carbon tax. Corporate greed isn't the carbon tax.
Cost of living isn't going to go down if you keep making the extreme weather worse. The insurance on your house isn't going to go down if you keep increasing the risk of flooding. The cost of food isn't going to go down if we keep ruining crops with endless wildfire seasons and smoke.
Good for you Mr Moe. You sir are doing exactly what you were elected to do. Look after the people of your province. I hope the people of Saskatchewan appreciate how great you are. We’d take you here in Newfoundland anytime. Keep up the good work
Carbon tax? I thought it was called price on pollution?
Or was it fuel tax?
Or fuel surcharge?
Or is it wealth redistribution tax?
What are the Liberals calling it this week?
Tell me you don't believe in something without telling me you don't believe in something if you have to constantly keep changing the names to convince yourself that it's not completely useless?

What ever solution you come up with to stop business from passing on the tax. Will destroy the business. You think it’s a great idea to destroy Canadas oil and gas industry? Great we don’t pollute but someone else does. Saudi Russia or the US. Now we have zero influence over emissions and done massive damage to our economy. Please make that make sense.

Get rid of Trudeau and the CBC.
How about we rebate all the CBC salaries and bonuses to the people
Why more tax? Canada 🇨🇦 why everything tax ? Why tax too much ?
Let Canadians vote whether they want the carbon tax or not. What do you think the outcome would be?
We just were in a pandemic and no one was going anywhere in vehicles. Of course, the CO2 emissions went down. People were working from home and there was a mandated lockdown.
This commentator keeps saying that Moe is creating an argument. Moe is merely making a statement and he is upholding his code of ethics because the carbon tax is inhumane.
I guess the real question is if the Federal Government passed a law that's aim is really only to bankrupt the middle class, do you as a provincial leader follow it blindly or step up to represent your province as you were elected to. The carbon tax in a country that makes up basically 1% of the worlds global emissions is not realistic in lowering global emission when you have to basically wipe out a entire generation of middle class citizens to accomplish it.
Cancel the carbon tax and cancel CBC funding.
What's next?...tax the air we breath?? I shouldn't give the demented tyrant any ideas.
New Zealand wanted to tax sheep farts. Canada is now considering. Don't dismiss sheer ludacrousy
North of the border we have to heat our houses during the winter. Many places in the United States do not need to heat in the winter and a carbon tax would not be constitutional for all in that country. Similarly, the farther north you go in Canada, the situation also changes due to location and it is also a constitutional issue.
Why is the government pricing people with the carbon tax and focusing more on industries? Or should they find other green or sustainable energy sources? How many countries in the G7 are imposing a carbon tax? I really don't understand how making life even harder to afford will contribute directly to carbon reduction efforts.
CBC has outlived it’s usefulness
To say the carbon tax is responsible for 0.15% of inflation? Bold face lie. Think about the services, items, products etc. you use EVERY DAY that is and has been incresed by this tax. Simply a long con by those who govern us.
Pricing an externality and keeping liability with those involved in the transaction. Its is all about freedom to choose and you are personally responsible for those associated costs. The Carbon tax should be a Conservative stance.
harper promoted it.
Freeland needs to drop the Meth pipe!
Go Saskatchewan! Cheers to your methods in place, much more rational!
I Love 💕 the "take back the power of the people" representative from Premiere Moe.. so much respect to Saskatchewan and Premiere Moe..NO respect to pm jt 😮
Did my taxes. Got nothing back from income tax. I’m middle class and the carbon rebate is a joke.
Gas went up more than this tax would add and nobody bats an eye.
Right on. The fuel in the pumps in our town went up 15 cents in the last 6 weeks, nothing said from Moe about that. And he put in a snit over the heater fuel in the east getting an exemption, so he dropped the tax on natural gas in sask., but not for propane used in home heating. So he creates an exemption right in his own province. Trudeau exemption bad, Moe exemption not so much.
The tax is pushing people into further desperate poverty. I live in my camper van and cannot afford to live in an RV park yet still not making enough money and the gas price went up on Vancouver Island now by $.45 in the last couple of months it’s now over two dollars a litre my life has become significantly more challenging. Some would already consider me homeless
Yeah it's the extra 14 cents a liter, not the skyrocketing cost of rent/housing that's taken place over the past couple of decades. Real brainiacs in our government.
The Premier is a Canadian Hero.
You never hope for someone's downfall, but in this CBC host lord please answer my prayers and put this guy on the curb. He is such a liberal mouthpiece its incredible. He doesn't even try to hide his bias. There can't be an election and the end of the CBC fast enough for me.
It's like the budget. It will balance itself. Lol
Good for you premier Moe!
