Our Pm has a plan and its a Bad Bad Plan!

I sure hope ranchers don't pay 6 bucks an acre it would cost me around 20 grand, trust me there just isn't 20 left over, two years of good prices out of 15 just dont cut it. I would be making more at mcdonalds.

Trudeau is popular because most income in Canuckistan is transferred income, not earned. Even on most farms including this one there are subsidies. BC's carbon tax works because it is able to transfer wealth into BC from beyond its borders. For example the tax paid on grain shipments that through BC to the coast. It never had anything to do with the environment. (Yes it was advertised as being about the environment but that only fooled the stupid) The only thing that will be under water at the end of Trudeau's term in office will be government pension plans. If it is not cold enough where you are move north. I for one am enjoying this break from winter and there is finally harvesting going on here.

Chucky, How does paying a carbon tax reduce carbon emissions?

Chucky, How does paying a carbon tax reduce carbon emissions?

It's a punitive tax, like a tobacco tax - a tax imposed to discourage a behaviour.

You mean like keeping yourself warm over the winter, gasfarmer.

How many of your polluting cattle are you going to give up? You're correct. You do need a punitive tax imposed on you to discourage having an income.

I guess as a farmer I should of left the crop out and not dried it. Or he'll let's not seed a crop so we can save the planet. Oh people would starve! Yea farmers in canada as city people would buy grain and livestock from our competitor the USA china Russia or South America.
Really it's just a tax my ass.

Some farmers around here are needing the discouragement of a carbon tax. Neighbours have had thousands of HP burning diesel for 2 weeks cutting trees, burying them in a huge excavated hole then burning them - all to get another 20 acres of poor soil into cultivation.

The world needs more of my cows Checking not less, the type of agriculture we are engaged in is the only way the world can reduce C02 emissions to pre-industrial age levels.

Except we don't live in the pre-industrial age. Did you know that?

Wall will try all the way to Supreme court to block this BS/LIES/TAX.

And IF we fail and the army forces Sk to pay, I f*cking hope it still warms the hell up because we are 8 months winter, and along with Russia should have never gone with the rest of the scared world!
Warm =life/plants/ animals, COLD = DEATH, ICE, NOTHING growing! Which do you choose?

[checking]

No,no, no.

The world needs less animal based protein because it is a hog (pun intended) on its greenhouse gas emissions to produce that kg of meat compared to the O2 positives of plant based protein.

Your means of livelihood will never help to return CO2 levels to the pre-industrial age. Some of your environmental friends might even say that you have no right to exist because of your destructive behavior.

It is fairly easy to understand why you see advantages for yourself in a carbon tax because you have the means to pass those taxes onto your customers. (That's one more labeling item on your packages of meat that you should make them aware of.) It has nothing to do with stopping sea level rises.
