Why on earth would you desire a carbon tax?
To curb carbon emission. Canadians are one of the worst countries, and we've done almost nothing since the Conservatives came into power to cut greenhouses gases in this country.
The Conservatives are flat out lying in their attack ads. The "He didn't come back for you" campaign against Ignatief was a lie and it went on from the time he became party leader until the election. By that time, nearly everyone in Canada thought Ignatief didn't come back for them. I was never a fan of the guy, but the lying pisses me off.
A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth.
A Carbon tax, are you out of your mind? It`s people like you that look at a picture like that and the first thing that comes to your manipulated little minds is a "carbon tax" and "global warming";
While all that
visible "smog" that offends you so is just water vapor, you know the same stuff that evaporates from the oceans and lakes and after it condenses it comes back down either as snow or fresh water,...forms rivers and glaciers and irrigates the fields that feed you.
You cant` see CO2 and if you burn gas or diesel you get food for trees and plants:
C8H18 (Octane) ---> 8 CO2 + 9 H2O
= 47 % CO2 and 53 % Water.
Every plant, tree etc consist of a polymer with building blocks that are Carbohydrates Nature`s Chemistry kitchen cooks up from CO2 Water and sunlight.
Most Amino acids would also disappear if there was no CO2....or if there was a lack of it.
Why don`t you go to Europe for a while and take a look how their Carbon tax scheme is "working".
Most people on a fixed income can hardly afford to pay their electric power bills any more.
What do you think happens to the price of food...especially fresh food if you get your wish ?
Show me one thing in a grocery store or in your house that was not transported by diesel powered ships, trains and trucks.
Have you any idea how much CO2 is involved in making 1 cubic yard of concrete?...or would you rather prefer we go back to
wooden bridges and chop down forests to build them?
CO2 absorbs an extremely narrow band in the IR spectrum while water vapor absorbs over the entire spectrum and way more per molar ppm per path length than CO2. Water vapor is by a long shot thee "greenhouse gas" that prevents that Toronto looks like Northern Nunavut.
CO2 "blocks" about as much IR as a hydro wire would shelter you from the rain, "blocking it" during a downpour.
Take a wild guess what has more "greenhouse effect"...burning "environmental" Hydrogen or "dirty fossil fuel".
Your opinion about Carbon is as disconnected from reality as your admiration for Jack Layton...name one thing he has done for Canada except being M.o.C. for gay parades and ribbon cutting at abortion clinics.
If Stephen Harper or any other married conservative would have been caught during a police raid in a B.D.S.M. whorehouse like Jack Layton was then you would not be so willing to gloss over the disgusting piece of shit that Layton really was and be fooled by what he was trying to pass himself off as to the public.
If I had to make a choice between "New Democrats" or Liberals if it became known that Harper is in reality a complete phoney like Jack was and now "angry Tom" Mulcair is then I`l rather opt for Justin Trudeau. Mulcair can`t even decide which country he should pledge his allegiance to, France or Canada..so he does the next best thing and chose the same Quebec separatists that started out as terrorists and murderers when Pierre Elliot Trudeau was the P.M. of Canada.
At least Justin Trudeau answered my questions about resource development honestly....
almost the same way as Stephen Harper answers the same question..even though that was a risky thing to do in an Indian Reservation, a hall packed with natives and no security other than the one we provided for him.
And no he did not ask us to pay him for his visit and speech. He got a thundering applause and traditional gifts which he accepted with great humility.
In the final analysis Canadians are not willing to finance Left-wing-nut policies with a Carbon tax, stuff like "safe injection sites" for drug addicts, "medical marihuana" , "abortion on demand" or kangaroo courts that convict anyone that speaks out against gay-lesbian deviates.
Every jurisdiction, be that a school district, municipal, provincial or national was ruined not just financially but also by every other standard... for example corrupting the minds of school children in which orifice you can stick certain vegetables ... wherever that scum was in office that was the main agenda in short order. I`ld gladly pay some sort of equivalent of an environment tax which applies not only to the physical environment but also to our school & Kindergarten environment which is infested with this scum, that decided to "co-parent" out little children and toddlers so that they might consider a gay relation ship instead of doing what comes naturally when they are old enough to decide on their own. .
