  1. OK, the Truanon trolls are out in force today, so answer the question; What if any benefit to the environment has been seen as a result of the carbon tax?

    1. Equity…. And…. And we’ve had Canadians uh backs uh throughout this pandemic and uh we stand for uh Canadian values.

  2. This is legit something I shitposted on forum boards when I was 12. The brain rot is both sides of the House.

  3. While I agree that perhaps you can’t say the tax should’ve prevented the hurricane, I am genuinely interested in what the carbon tax money is doing. Where does it go? What has it achieved? Because otherwise, all I know is I see it taken out of my utilities bills and gas receipts every time and it just became an arbitrary tax set at an arbitrary rate that just keeps going on forever.

  4. Falk is on the right track. In terms of the environment, it is necessary to re-evaluate Climate Change efforts. So far, the climate change movement has not prevented one square meter of land from eroding, saved the life of one person or animal, nor is responsible for the removal of one single piece of garbage from the roadside. This vastly expensive effort has yielded no results.

    On the other hand, there are 200 years of environmental damage from industrialization which needs to be restored. Countless species have either been heavily damaged or destroyed. The climate change movement has taken so many resources away from these tangible problems and their feasible solutions. The concept of climate change has become so big, most other environmental problems are sadly neglected. So not just for the sake of the economy, the environment needs the government to downsize climate change spending and efforts. We need to concentrate on feasible solutions to tangible problems.

    1. @roof pizza And I will keep doing it whether you like it or not. In the meantime, I’d ask you to research the important environmental causes of the American Chestnut Tree and the Atlantic Walrus. Something to take your mind off of your climate change religion.

    1. Well well , look who’s on the list …

  5. Omg this is gold. Cons elected an instagram leader with sound bites but forgot he comes with a lot of baggage that really really stinks.

  6. Lets put Justin back to the ICE AGE. CHANGE THAT.
    You cant stop the earth.
    During the ICE AGE he would say “Idle you car, WE must uh uh warm the uh uh planet”

    1. ​@plantbasedstrong Funny, I don’t even recognize any of them. None if them are even on this thread. I wonder how you can sleep at night. Time for a new troll account yer hitting 6 months already.

  8. And here another example of the bottom of the barrel for all to witness.

    I seriously hope as a nation with more than 30 million we have better examples of intellect.
