$10/t carbon TAX !

Glad you started it Boarder from Brad Walls fb page.

I cannot believe that while the country’s environment ministers were meeting on a so-called collaborative climate change plan, the Prime Minister stood in the House of Commons and announced a carbon tax unilaterally.

This meeting is not worth the CO2 emissions it took for environment ministers to get there.

The level of disrespect shown by the Prime Minister and his government today is stunning. This is a betrayal of the statements made by the Prime Minister in Vancouver this March. And this new tax will damage our economy.

The bottom line is that the Saskatchewan economy – already hurting from a downturn in commodity prices – will be one of the hardest hit by a new federal carbon tax because of our trade-exposed resource industries.

The carbon tax will siphon over $2.5 billion from Saskatchewan’s economy when fully implemented and make our province a less competitive place to do business. For example, we have no idea what the U.S. government will do when it comes to carbon pricing. Yet our federal government is ploughing ahead with a carbon tax apparently unconcerned about the potential impact on our energy industry, which competes with North Dakota, Texas and Oklahoma. It’s not difficult to foresee an exodus of oil rigs south of the border, and fewer people working in Saskatchewan’s already struggling oil and gas sector.

Saskatchewan industries will feel the impact. So, too, will Saskatchewan families. We estimate the carbon tax will cost the average family $1,250 a year. Our farm families will be among the hardest hit. The carbon tax will impede Saskatchewan’s continuing efforts to export high quality food products to global customers.

As I have said many times before, we are having the wrong conversation in Canada. The national focus on carbon pricing holds the lowest potential for reducing emissions, while potentially doing the greatest harm to the Canadian economy. We produce less than two percent of global GHG emissions. Whatever impact the federal carbon tax will have on Canada’s emissions, global GHG emissions will continue to rise because of the developing world’s reliance on coal-fired electricity. Canada can make an important contribution in the battle against climate change by developing made-in-Canada solutions in areas like power production, transportation, natural resource development, manufacturing and construction.

In the coming weeks, Saskatchewan will investigate all options to mitigate the impact of one of the largest national tax increases in Canadian history.



**** THESE MOTHER ****IN GOOFS

Where are "our" ag lobby/commodity lobby groups on this? Haven't heard a eiffing thing out of any of them and trudeau has been talking about this since before the election. If there putting their positions about this in their newsletters I'm not reading it. Get the hell on the radio and TV and do something to protect primary producers from this crippling TAX.

Are we going to get paid for storing carbon in the soil as farmers?

They should put a tax on Kelly harrows saskfarmer3

I'll go out on a limb here and say this is all for Quebec. They got the worst debt issues of all the provinces and the transfer payments off $40~ crude isn't paying for little Pierre and Claudette's daycare anymore. Look at the housing market, Montreal is undervalued by at least $100k from Ontario. Nobody wants to live there due to local taxes. This is a powder keg waiting to blow. The feds don't have the pockets to bail them out So they have gone to the well (western Canada). Short the hell out of the loonie, there's more to it than just the crippling effect of the carbon tax.

Starting costs:
$20/ton of fertilizer,
$.10/gallon of diesel
Expected to go up %500 by 2022
That pretty boy is starting to show how he will pay for all the benifits the Easterners will enjoy on our backs. The backs of Canadas economy drivers farmers and industry.

Sorry $.10/ liter diesel

If Canada survives next three years...a POX on Liberal voters...less than 40% ticked their box...f*cking dictator...if Trump wins he should TAKE him out...or we should impeach/recall/referendum the idiot.
Obviously anti Canadian, treasonous I say... under 2% of world emissions and HURT ourselves to save the planet??? "god"Trudeau can command the climate to change...so could the anti Christ....guess which HE fits???

Putting up road blocks to external capital is economic suicide.

Forex traders(currency guys)look at three things.

Soverign deficits,trade balance and balance of trade(which is trade balance plus external capital investment flows)

In our world we live in a fractional reserve banking system.

Which means if 100 dollars of external capital hits our system,about 90 is lent back out,this effects many things,many maybe not self evident.Stock market,interest rates,asset values,pension funds,tax revenues its a whole story in itself and the only reason japan isn't rhodesia yet,another story.

If your handicapping an economy on external capital inflows it is nothing short of an act of war,like trade embargoes

Why don't you think western canada isn't shipping in milk and eggs to the east?now steers?they can't handle competition because we would suck them dry.

The sauds hauling oil in and no pipeline?look who got the military vehicle contract.

Their boot is on our head and nobody feels like standing up
