Canada Wants To Implement Carbon Tax

In all fairness, Canada also has its fair share of global warming loons. North of the border there is a plan to push a carbon tax on the so-called “worst offenders”. never mind the fact that all taxes are passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. Despite that fact, the promoters of the carbon tax have this to day in the National Post:

“There is a lingering misconception that a carbon price is nothing more than a tax grab,” said the report, Pricing Carbon: Saving Green — a carbon price to lower emissions, taxes and barriers to green technology.

“While the receipt of substantial revenue — more than $50-billion per year — accompanies any effective carbon price, the revenue is simply the byproduct of putting a price on carbon emissions.”

They want to put a carbon tax into effect and that isn’t a “tax grab?” Any and all taxes are attempts to seize money from the People.

“Millions of Canadians are taking steps each day to conserve energy, whether by taking public transit, changing their light bulbs or turning down their thermostat. These Canadians should be rewarded,” said Mr. Suzuki. “Meanwhile, carbon-intensive industries and activities severely damage our climate at no charge to the polluter.”

In other words, lower your standard of living and pay more for products and/or energy. The government is here to save the environment by taking YOUR money. And is this the same Suzuki that has been calling to have public officials that disagree with him on the causes of global warming to be thrown in prison?

Like I said, there are plenty of loons north of the border; the U.S. hasn’t cornered that market. Yet. Maybe we can export ours to Canada? Nah! Wouldn’t be fair to the smart folks they have up there pursuing real climate science.
