NFU joins carbon tax fight

[RD414]

They entered the court case, but on Turdos side and against, what, 97% of Saskatchewan farmers and the rest of our provincial economic engine. And grassy wonders why farmers don’t support them. Back stabbing bastards.

Backstabbing cowards.

What a total bunch of Fools and Grass you wonder why no right-minded Canadian Farmer will support those F#$King NDP loving Fools.

Preston Manning is Also Urging Conservatives to Agree with With Carbon Pricing

Debate How it is Implemented But not the idea of Carbon pricing since it’s based on Market forces

They were just on the verge of gaining credibility they haven’t had in decades by taking a stand against the seed tax but I guess they are siding with the rooftop gardeners and environmental wackos when it comes to the industry killing carbon tax. 🙈

That's a good question - how many? what %? has anyone ever asked?

You've got to be smarter on the representation thing though - 1 issue you don't agree with from the NFU, 1 you don't agree with from WCWGA so you never support any group on anything - then sit and complain that no-one represents you. A smarter approach may be to work on issues that concern you with whatever organization aligns on that issue - forget the ideology of being faithful to one organization (or political party) over multiple decades it's what's taking away farmer's voices.

Michael Chong who ran for the Leadership of the Conservative Party and is a sitting Conservative MP supports a carbon tax as do many business leaders including several representing the oil industry. Also Preston Manning.

There is support in the conservative movement because a carbon tax is a market based approach that lets consumers and industry decide how best to reduce emissions instead of governments telling them what to do.

Even if it is rebated to consumers it still works because it is in your interest to reduce energy use that lowers how much carbon tax you pay and you still get a rebate.

It sounds as though grassfarmer and chucky are members of the NFU and support their position.

Trolling Agriville with their very small minority view on the carbon tax and CO2 alarmism than trying to promote their farm organization doesn’t seem like a good venture.

Is there any producer group that is against both royalties and Carbon Tax? Guess you would have to be kinda misdle of road and we all know that isn't possible.

There is general support for carbon pricing etc. within all political camps. For one reason.....
