The carbon tax was meant as an incentive to reduce emissions with as little negative economic impact as possible and not just another way for government to increase tax revenue.

Those in Canada who want to protect healthcare & education do not realize that a strong economy is the only way to generate the revenue necessary. Instead these people think there’s no limit to the amount & ways they can tax businesses – which is always a negative for the economy and generating the revenue needed. 

Polls indicate Canadian want to play tough with Donald Trump. How are they going to do it? First, by continuing to force Canadian families to pay more to ensure a few thousand Quebec Dairy farmers stay very wealthy. Second, expand this “great” idea to other manufactured Canadian goods.

It’s a farce perpetrated by powerful interest groups and the commentariat that the economic system we operate under is capitalism and that all the problems in the news right now are caused by it. Truth is all our major problems derive from the actions of Government.
