Fun fact of the day ...

[furrowtickler]

Trucking rates locally just went up 15% , due to carbon tax.
Can’t blame the truckers , but as many of us said we are going to not only pay canon tax on many things , we will also get stuck paying others carbon tax
All while our markets are in the tank .... thank a liberal 👎👎👎👎

As farmers we are going to pay exponentially for this carbon tax scam
Ralph... you are a flat out lying POS

Not a lie to him if he believes it.
But really, do politicians believe anything. Or just repeat what they're told

The tax is so effective that we are now well below normal for temperatures here for the summer we never got. Praise the liberals for my late late crops and my yearlings getting pneumonia from the constant cold rains.

Or maybe you can? The carbon tax implemented April 1st on diesel was I believe 6.3c/litre. I remember the gas better it was 4.4c/litre yet the price at my local pump jumped overnight by 12c to $1.26/litre. Gas from the same pump would cost me $1.10 today. There is no logical correlation between a tax increase of 6.3c/litre on diesel in April and a 15% increase in trucking rates in August. The unpopularity of a carbon tax is a convenient ruse for trucking companies and fuel suppliers to increase their bottom lines.

I don’t care what math you use , the end of the day it’s going to get passed down to the lowest guy on the totem pole .... is farmers . There is absolutely no way to pass this cost on , we are the bottom of the food chain . You can try to spin it any way you want , bottom line is farmers will have to eat everyone else’s carbon tax

The logical reason is that they held rates till the new crop year now
It was not some magic date grass . Do you just argue points to make yourself feel better ?

No, I challenge things that look wrong to me - like this post. Isn't it the case that diesel is cheaper now than it was in the first week of April?

So do I ,and like many others who are going to be directly effected by carbon tax , it looks wrong that we will have to absorb everyone else’s carbon tax costs . Not only does it look it is wrong considering the cabin tax will do nothing to help the environment because every one can just pass those costs down to the farmer. They will not change there habits because it basically cost no industry anything , just farmers and consumers to a lesser extent
