Poll suggests narrow race between NDP, Sask. Party in general election

[fjlip]

"90% of the carbon tax is rebated."

So what's the point of the scheme? Certainly NOT for saving the planet.

Wealth redistribution to the gullible for VOTES!

A long time ago we were taught to not pay compounded interest.
The carbon tax, along with GST, are compounded.
As different products are handled different amount of times, to come up with a true amount would be difficult(compounded) so extra difficult!

The only one good thing about the carbon scam tax is its putting the final nails in the liberal / NDP coffin

And they seem to be have chosen this hill to die on.
Is it possible they don't want to get reelected? Knowing the disaster they have bestowed upon the country? Let the conservatives inherit this flaming dumpster fire. Then blame them from the opposition seats for the next few years? Knowing that fixing this is going to be highly unpopular with the voters, they think they can sweep back in next time?

You are going to be disappointed by Crypto. He says climate change is real! Unlike the most fervent flat earthers like you A5!

He sure does but doesn’t think a pointless carbon tax is the answer. Think we aware of this. Are you aware your party’s leap manifesto if were partially undertaken would cripple our economy? Your federal leader is calling for a ban on thermal coal exports. What sort of harikari death cult has your party become? You obviously won’t answer.

And yesterday the looney said no more roads shud be built , people shud walk , while they fly around in their private planes , payed for by the pesants

[chuckChuck]

We should be subsidizing public transportation as a way to get more people off the roads. Especially in very busy areas around major cities.

We should also break the monopoly our 2 railroads have on our rail system. That would bring more competition.

Roads are also heavily subsidized by taxpayers. They are essential to our transportation system. So there should be little resistance to investing in transportation in including public transportation.

But the Curly Moe killed the STC instead of making it better. Another blow to rural Saskatchewan.

Billions on roads and peanuts for public transportation?

[cropgrower]

Its long past time to wake up to the lies

[blackpowder]

Always two truths and a lie. At best.
Public transportation, you bet.
But what do the evil rail monopolies have to do with it? High speed would need new, dedicated track anyway.

[blackpowder]

Furthermore.
New infrastructure like high speed rail needs lots of money to build.
Calgary Edmonton talked about for decades. It takes a long commitment. Especially here.
Next, pay for it.
Not sure if China charging high fees for public transportation, charging high taxes on mostly poor public.
Or relying on a robust economy to pay for it??
No new resource development, no new industries yet, no new rail. Make sense?
We wasted money in the 70s and 80s here, but we paved every bloody road. Every county councilor had right to his door.
It's the economy and it's sales that buys railroads or anything else public. The lies have to get ever bigger I guess.

[shtferbrains]

All sounds great in theory but truth is nowadays in the areas that really need the public transit most people won't get on a bus or subway as there are too many incidence with street people and getting caught in gang violence.

The risk doesn't justify the reward.
