Default Anyone believe these numbers?

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...nada-1.3895133

The new year will ring in a whole new era in Canada's energy capital, as Alberta will become the second province to adopt a carbon tax.

Starting Jan. 1, 2017, carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels will be taxed at a rate of $20 per tonne.

That's set to increase to $30 per tonne in 2018, and Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has said she'll respect the federal mandate to boost the price to $50 per tonne by 2022.

The one thing that would get me to vote PC next election is if they promised to scrap the carbon tax and Wildrose didn't.

Not that it matters much...because Federal money thieves it one way or another...but just because...


And in answer to the OP's question. No. I don't believe those numbers. CBC. NDP. Not a lot of credibility piled up in either of those organizations.

Here's letters going out to customers of Grimshaw and Hi-Way 9 trucking regarding increases due to carbon taxes that are going to be passed on to customers. Enjoy your rebates.

With no economic impact study it is pure propaganda financed by tax payers. Sad what our public broadcaster has become.

Why are they taxing air? Because some people let them. When the bills come due on air taxes it will hang on Notley and Trudeau solely. Any party that rejects and reverses regressive ideology and taxes on air will get mine and millions of votes.
