Good old free market capitalism has the price of gas fluctuating by 60 cent/litre in any given year. Carbon tax rebate minus the 40 cents/litre carbon tax (over 10 years) has LaRue up at night ....LOL

Carbon tax rebate of 40 cents/liter over 10 years is atrocious. It won't
possibly reduce emission to anywhere close to 50% in 2030. To meet the emission
target needed to stop global warming immediately we must scrap the rebate and hike
the tax by more than 40 cents / liter in one year. I am sure Greta Thunberg would
favor what I propose.

I think you have a great idea and suggest you just start mailing in those extra taxes to the Trudeau liberals right now.

My understanding is that for the next couple of years the
carbon tax is to be fully refunded in rebates. Gradually it will
surge to a level where the tax revenue is bigger than the rebate.
So I don't think the tax is technically the source of the money
to be shipped. I suppose we can easily finance foreign aid
by raising more debt.

Taxes do not fluctuate up and down genius
This one is going nowhere but up unless voters wake up
And it is going to be inflationary

If you had a clue about economics you would know this is going to be an economic disaster
and it wont make a bit of difference to emissions

You ca not put money into silos like that

Justin is intentionally making living more expensive for Canadians via the carbon tax
The rebates will not offset the inflation this tax will drive (food , heating, and anything you buy that spends time on a truck, or train)
Justin is also borrowing in the name of Canadians at an astronomical and very irresponsible pace
And is sending millions billions overseas


Our Prime Minister should be working hard to make life better for all Canadians
This moron is intentionally trying to make life more difficult
He is not bright enough to understand the responsibilities of his office

Yup, oil goes up and wind/solar goes down.
Australia just wrote off a 10 year old, $1 billion coal plant because solar has made it worthless.
Much like your advice.

Coal as a fuel for power generation is being phased
out by natural gas worldwide. This trend has been ongoing
for sometime and will continue for years to come. This has
more to do with environmental protection than economy. That
coal is a horribly dirty fuel was well known 2 centuries ago.

Natural gas will follow in 5-10 years.
