Where u farm Chuck?

Nutty professors. I can't believe an economist making comments like this- comments based on emotion rather than science. Makes me ashamed to be an economist. Guess he never took a biology class.

i tend to agree , that the carbon tax will be a political albatross .
taking the high road is great as long as we do not have to pay for it .

spending a whole lot of money for something you can not see.
kinda like putting money on a plate in a church.
but if you believe, i guess it is worth it.


Hamloc mexico surpassing canada in trade with US . is that really a big surprise.
globalisation, same as the USA losing jobs and production to mexico
nobody in canada is going to assemble a ford or dishwasher for 9$/hr here.
if that is what they get ?

we are just so lucky here to have resources and a low population
that is what has been saving us so far.

Chucky just loves the Carbon Tax. Must have a new liberal job lined up.

[chuckChuck]

I forgot to mention that according to the Fraser institute' survey on the best places to invest in oil and gas, Norway is in the top ten. Norway has a long standing carbon tax. That's right! So how does a country that has a carbon tax get into the top ten best places to invest?

By the way Preston Manning thinks a carbon tax is the way to go as well.

I agree that it it may be that BCs carbon tax is not as effective as stated by some observers. At 7 cents per litre it is not a very big tax and may not have much impact. Having effective ways to measure the impact is very important.

But we all know that high energy prices reduce consumption. As soon as gas prices go really high consumers start looking for fuel efficient vehicles.

I farm in Saskatchewan. Our farm shop and house were designed to be energy efficient with high efficiency boilers and furnaces and lots of insulation. All that investment easily pays for itself.

We also drive fuel efficient vehicles as much as possible. And when we go to rink or the school we don't leave our vehicle idling for hours like many Saskatchewan residents.

Gee Chucky you must be a boy scout.

Drive a diesel because that is the cheapest form of transportation for me work truck and also nice to drive.

Shop is radiant heat and real thick walls and insulated doors. Works just fine.

Leaving my truck idle today all day Priceless.

We don't live behind the iron curtain. Some want to take us their and Your boy Is one.

As we all smoke our joints sitting around a 60 watt light bulb in our homes trying to keep warm when its -29 out side for weeks on end, well at least its family time.

This whole idea is out of this world gonzo.

Yes the solar shingles caught my eye and yes i invested in that company. But till its proven why the hell would any one in the world go balls to the wall and drop good money making energy that we have years of in Canada and the rest of the world wants to buy.

Its unbelievably stupid.

-30 with wind chill today. all you tree huggers should have your power and gas turned off and ride your bikes to work and see how fricking long it takes you to come to the dark side.

We live in Canada and its God Dam Cold in Winter.

Idiots just plain idiots.

[SASKFARMER3]

Oh and he is now changing his mind on the Joint thing so i guess its Vodka as usual.

Hey wait thats like Stalin did to his people. Drink and freeze in the dark while some play.

Trudeau and Suzuki and Nutlee plus more.

[chuckChuck]

SF3. Good stuff SF3 you really added a lot to the debate. Do you actually spend the winter in saskatchewan anyway? You are the warm vacation photo king on agriville. Plus one of the biggest complainers! Must be tough to be you.

[Hamloc]

I just read an article on the Financial post's website which talks about the fact that by 2022 Ontario and Quebec through their cap and trade system they will be paying half as much for a tonne of carbon as we will in western Canada. Because their system is linked to California's it appears that in 2022 when Alberta and BC and Saskatchewan are paying 50 dollars a tonne Ontario and Quebec will be paying as low as 24 dollars a tonne. The usual federal Liberal way, screw the west.

[SASKFARMER3]

Yea chucky it is tough to be me.

We work hard pay taxes up the ass hole and watch waste happen all around by gov.

The Carbon bull shit is just that, you have to be real special and wear a sign to help the rest of us avoid people like you who drink this cool aide.

Canada has oil, Canada has gas, Canada has uranium, Canada has coal. Yet all this that makes money should be stopped so JT can get a seat on the UN when he is done or people wake up.

Why would a rich county want to quit all money making ventures to go expensive green shit.

Why?

Yes i said it before if the shingle thing actually is perfected and can last through a hail storm and freezing temps then maybe the house lights could be alternative.

Pulling my air drills so people can eat with a prius is not going to happen. Here or in Iceland or where ever you quote.

If people cant afford power in Ontario with their useless shit. why would we even think it would work.

Billions in debt and still its all good.

Some one has to pay and once you crush the oil and gas etc who is going to pay.

OH Savings and inheritance tax on all of us.

Watch that will be coming next..

Idiots in charge in canada.

Heres your sign Chucky.

[Hamloc]

A longer version of this article appears at www.C2Cjournal.ca under the title "The coming national carbon tax gap". It is worth the read but should come with a warning it will make your blood boil lol!

It sure would be nice to see a few of the earth muffins try to go one week without petroleum in -30C.
Just bikes, for transportation, only solar or wind power to heat their homes (no coal power backup allowed because it's dirty?!).
We will even let them use their IPhone which was made with oil.
No jet fuel or diesel allowed to travel to watch St. Suzuki and Reverend Gore preach at a "climate conference" in a tropical destination.

We know none of these things will ever happen and as Al Gore says, do as I say not as I do.

[SASKFARMER3]

That just hit the nail on the head.

I have a energy efficient home in regina with high efficient furnace and air system.

try to heat this place with just geo thermal and wind, oh its blowing today and solar.

I guess wear a coat sit under a blanket and dream of ways to stay warm.

-30 people -30.

[Klause]

John you're forgetting one thing.... no more 60w light bulbs! they're not environmentally friendly, they're now 6w LEDs. No more heat off them tings!

[SASKFARMER3]

peavy mart still sells the 60s.

Ha HA HA
