    Farmers have no political party working on their behalf...period....

    Farmers do have politicians that talk a good story and take any cash donated....with zero results...

      Fed’s direct assault on Western Canadian oil is hitting Canadian banks, now the fed’s feet “may” be put to the fire. So can the feds require banks to disclose their liabilities within a particular sector. The plot thickens......

          World is ending. Lol
          I call bullshit on that one
          Your carbon tax on heat and power is a lot more than $6 /month unless you live in a red state

            Considering that the CO2 tax rebatee is supposed to be $888 per year(Alberta) for a family of 4, and he claims to be paying $72 per year, either the poster, or else our government is not very good at math. I suspect both...

              I built my house in 1990 with lots of Insulation and Good Vapour barrier, Air Exchange, South Facing Windows So LOTS of FREE Solar heat. Natural Gas Bill $410 PER Year.
              3 bin yards and Well Insulated shop
              Carbon Tax 6$ per month

                No way, unless you are also wearing sweaters and like the thermostat at 68deg and burning wood in a fireplace every night.

                The service charges alone (ex actual gas consumption) would be that in year on an average bill like mine in the city.

                  Thermostat at 68-69 during day and 59 at nite (if I wanted to be overheated in bed I’d stay at a hotel)
                  Strange thing is seeing Newly built houses with predominantly North or West facing windows when they could have South Exposure with a Longer Roof overhang
                  Most days furnace shuts off when comes in thru South windows

                  Southern Sask and Southern Alberta have some of the BEST Solar Gain in the world. Lots of sun and cool temps mean panels are more efficient.
                  I realize some Farmers don’t believe in Solar energy - which is the strangest of oxymorons- unless you live in your dark basement and tend to mushrooms

                    Its all about our jokers securing UN appointments. Definitely arms length , oh yeh. We used to hear about the threat of the New World Order and how it would destroy the Western World. I laughed it off😳

                      bullshit again , if you are in Sask , meter charge alone is $35 /month, 12 x 35 =$420
                      now i realize theoretically , you don't pay carbon tax (haha) on the other charges but you are saying your yearly heating bill is $410 which is impossible
                      and daughter has south facing windows , great in jan , but AC will run constant in july, aug to keep you from being "overheated"

                          I guess the carbon tax worked on mustardman.

                          My house has a big south facing window too, gets some solar gain but not enough to offets 5deg in daytime heating and 10 deg at night. Those are uncomfortable levels of living unless you are supplementing with wood or a bottle of JD.

                          And yes that big window comes back to haunt us in the summer.

                            Mustardman our house built in 93 well protected by trees and well insulated, plus 2 shops just over 4000 sq. feet total. For month of February 2019 still had a $30 a tonne carbon tax in Alberta then. We used 81.3 gigajoules of natural gas which had $123.35 carbon tax on it. We keep our house at 21* C and because we have cattle tractors are in and out of both shops daily and yes monthly service charges alone would be over $300 a year.

                              Now tell us how you dried or aerated your grain this year without a carbon tax.

                              Also if your grain travels on the railway or have it custom hauled, that freight is all subject to a carbon tax.

                                Ummm have you been to a grocery store since New Years? Even if you don't dry grain like the SW likely never do or wear indoor sweaters with a picture of Greta on it, the carbon tax is all right there now embedded in everything.

                                Cost of living has dramatically increased in just a few short days.
