Bye Bye Carbon Tax

[jazz]

Quebec joins carbon tax challenge. Must have seen their juicy welfare equalizations were going to get cut off.

Trudeau wont risk going against his base.

Hopefully something positive come out of this.

For ****'s sake.....the Liberals eliminating the Carbon Tax might just be the move that gets the Prime Moron re-elected!

there was another thread today discussing the abusive marriage that the west has with the ROC. I was going to comment there, but this is so much more suitable.

Like any abusive partner, they are very manipulative and know when to offer just enough kindness to keep the abused in the relationship. This is exactly that, except it is happening on the political level.

Just like the parasite and host analogy, no parasite wants to actually kill its host, since it then dies too. Although not all parasites are smart enough to realize the consequences, and we have some prime examples right here on Agriville.

This isn’t an april fools joke, is it? Next thing we’ll hear Suzuki is in love with carbon. The absurdity of the new world is unending. Ontario and Kebec against sock boy - Can’t be.

Maybe this b/S gig is up finally

Hopefully something positive come out of this.

The church of climate alarmism will have a hard time of admitting that a carbon tax is a farce so sock boy and McKenna will be all in on this issue.

Hopefully the equalization funded Quebecers wake up and smell the coffee.

I must have not heard correctly but I thought them and one maritime province applied for intervener status in the courts in order to be heard that they want the carbon tax??? Or did I hear wrong?

You heard right. PEI wants carbon tax kept and Quebec wants to make sure it's cap and trade system is not affected by any change either way.

Had a hard time believing that the frogs would do anything that would benefit the West.

No that's wrong. Higgs is on side, they are just putting all their efforts behind Sasks supreme court challenge. Challenging the court three times is a waste of time.

Challenging it once is a waste of time - no way can the provinces over rule the feds on this one.

Higgs is not PE Island premier. Quebec and pei wanting intervenor status does not mean they are on side with sask.

Trudeau cant let one province do cap and trade or their own scheme and force others into carbon tax. That is definitely unconstitutional. You will start to hear some tone down rhetoric now about alternatives and more custom programs for each province blah blah blah. But if Quebec doesn't want something, it doesn't happen. They own skippy like rented mule and that's the only reason they vote for him I think.

I hope you are right, this issue is so divisive, and so unpopular, not only in the west, but all productive regions, that having the courts ramming it through just adds so much fuel to the separation fire.
