New tax Targets one Group who can't pass on the costs to consumers. FARMERS Crushed

[SASKFARMER3]

Thank a liberal all farmers in western Canada. The tax as I see it and lets be fare its a tax to every single person in Canada and Especially farmers. The Feds new system targets one group that is Farmers. Our costs will go up on everything we touch or need. Diesel up Gas Up Oil because our tractors and combines need this to work and I haven't fount the Electric tractor or Solar powered combine so it will cost and cost dearly. Now spray fert inoculant up do to freight. AH the companies can just pass it on. Transportation to Coast ah the railways can just pass it on. Equipment etc will be up. Can we afford another combine instead of 800000 now 850000. Any farmer who thinks this will not cost them is out to lunch.

What do we get in return. Ah nothing they are considering all our direct seeding as it was prairie before when the buffalo roamed so a sink then and a sink now no money to help you MR Farmer.

So thank the Liberals who as true form will screw the west to help the rest.

Really how many farms can take another $50.00 a acre cost increase at todays prices and honestly think they will be farming.

Also all our competitors have no Carbon Tax. Australia just dumped theirs the USA has none Russia has none and SA has none so all sell grain at world price but our costs are again higher.

So will we have to go back to horse pulled drills etc.

Wow liberals you really did this one again great but hey 60000 farmers are easy to piss off and lose as supporters when you have 60000 new Syrian refugees. Keep killing the primary producer and sooner or later we will all be done.

Or is that the plan back to buffalo roaming the west and parks for Eastern elite to come visit.

Fertilizer derived from natural gas will indeed go up!

I wanna get paid for the carbon I take out of the atmosphere.

[SASKFARMER]

So do I on every single quarter and I even will sell tillage! But if all we have to do is pay then we're on road to failure!

Farmers should be exempt from carbon taxes and be demanding to get a payment from carbon taxes.
If I drink this CO2 coolaid we have been directly affected by global warming.
Reasons we should be getting paid not billed:
-Our land is being flooded by excess rains
-Our crops are suffering from diseases from humid summers.
-Record heat and Cold have adversly affected our yields.
-farmers have been improving farming practices for years including carbon studies.
- we will allready be indirectly taxed through fertilizer, fuel, electricity and freight tranportation for our comodities.
-so when there are dollars being collected we should be getting some back not another tax bill!!!!!!

Interesting that Australia scrapped their carbon tax.....now our Liberals lead by a drama teacher figure it's a brilliant idea. 🙈

[SASKFARMER3]

Yes the Australians found it was a tax that didn't work. Go figure.

I bet the prices didn't rush to come down after they removed it

[SASKFARMER3]

Funny thing it doesn't work any where it is just a extra feel good tax and still the opticians will fly all over the place and speak about how great it is.

Killing farms one farm at a time. Thank a Liberal.

Oliver...this article has a graph of carbon emissions in Australia when they scrapped their tax....

However, one would have to believe we need to do something about carbon for it to hit home.....

[Oliver88]

If you want to keep people from spending money on scary things like electricity, NG and diesel fuel just take away their source of income.
A hurting economy will likely drop GHG emissions on their own......Notley/Trudeau are on track to get their desired effect in Alberta.🙈

And how will this effect global temperatures??.......no effect.

[perfecho]

Have no idea what effect it will have.... do not have the capabilities to figure that out....but am able to listen to some who can. And yes, they could be wrong....but what if they are not!
