Federal carbon tax ‘sets a dangerous precedent’

[IronNoggin]

“What the federal government is doing right now is they’re effectively seeking to amend the constitution,” Justice Minister Doug Schweitzer said...

Trudeau will accept nothing less than the absolute power to do whatever he pleases. His multiple ethics violations, and his obstruction of justice prove that he has no respect for our laws, or for the rights of Canadians.

On a different board,

Imagine, if you will
A world where,
people honestly believe,
the temperature of the planet
can be affected by giving the government money

Hard to imagine, isn't it?

Agreed.

He should be in court defending his actions, not the PM OF Canada. I’d like to hear an auditor generals report of his actions. This country needs a non partisan official that has the authority to investigate our PM and dictate whether a formal investigation is warranted and if so then be able to suspend the PM and the PMO.

That would be our Governor General. Technically, the official representative of the Queen/King has the power to dismiss the Prime Minister. In reality, it is an expensive figurehead position that doesn't accomplish anything useful...like many other officials in our government.
The official Governor General website is useless for anything other than fluff and photo ops, so read up here:

*reading the Speech from the Throne which outlines the Canadian federal government agenda for a new session of Parliament
*executing orders-in-council or cabinet decisions
*appointing superior court judges, on the advice of ​the cabinet
*summoning, closing and dissolving Parliament, on the advice of the Prime Minister
*inviting the leader of the party with the most support in the House of Commons to form the government. That party leader becomes Prime Minister.
*in times of emergency or special circumstances, exercising the special personal authority of the Governor General to appoint or dismiss a prime minister or dissolve Parliament. This authority is rarely used.
*receiving and sending ambassadors.

Maybe Canadians should be directing their discontent towards the Governor General and putting the pressure there instead.

We just might have to do a Hong Kong revolt on our Government to make them aware we are tired of their tax this and tax that and tax everything under the sun so they can satisfy their never ending feeding at the trough. Stop them from sending monies overseas to help others with their problems and take care of our own back yard. I'm not sure of the total they send out but I'm sure that money could be spent and used here at home to help make a better life and economy for Canadians. 2019 should be the last year our Government sends money out of our country for aid to others. Send that aid money to our provinces who could use it to help our own economy thrive. All that wasted money out the door could have went to and paid for their carbon taxes. They will bleed us dry

3 guesses who appointed her, first two don't count . Like appointing judges, you only pick those that follow your line of thought.

In other countries the common folk would have demanded his imprisonment or execution and if it didn't happen, they would drag his butt out of his house and do it themselves.

you guys keep forgetting he just won another election .if you are going to have a revolution and overthrow a government you probably need a lot more than 50% support from the rest of the country . canada is not there yet

The liberals got around 30% slupport...they don’t have the support of the majority.

I thought of the Governor General. However the GG is just another useless government figurehead that costs us more then its usefulness. The GG is a holdover from the British appointed by the PM. What is needed is a nonpartisan official that the provinces can appeal to.

If the GG was an elected representative of the people it could work. But it’s not and likely never will be. So the sheeple of Canada get screwed again. Unless of course you’re from Quebec then you’re ok.

lib about 31% , con about 35 % . thats pretty close to 50/50 if the other parties had to choose a side and split 50/50 . im pretty sure all of the pq would back the liberals along with the green and ndp . so , in reality there would probably less than 50% support for a revolution .

A lot of people forget that the american revolution happened with about 6% support of the local population.

thats true and the castro in cuba started with 12 or so soldiers . those were different times . people were willing to give the ultimate sacrifice and also kill for the cause . the rebellions gained momentum and changes were made . is anyone here ready to kill Trudeau or his supporters ? i mean literally kill your neighbors ?

And we would have to contend with the UN and it's interference as well as NATO troops/peacekeepers.

Google for organizations that support globalization. You'll find a list of organizations that support globalization and I'm sure they will be putting political pressure on the UN to get Canada under control. They need Canada to live up to our signed agreements.

Over the top again.
Revolutions are easier to start than stop. Millions of innocent are killed along the way.
Insanity is afoot in this thread.
