Quebec Joins Saskatchewan In Carbon Tax Challenge

Shiny Pony 25 Comments

In a shocking turn around, François Legault’s Quebec will intervene on behalf of Saskatchewan to challenge the federal carbon tax in the supreme court alongside Premier Scott Moe.
 
Quebec would be the latest province to join Ontario, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Alberta and Saskatchewan to challenge the federal government’s levy as unconstitutional.
 
The provincial government announced the decision in a press release earlier today.

I wonder what they want.

Lady Justice trades in her blindfold for a DNA test;

It means that the same crime committed against two women could result in a harsher sentence against the criminal who attacked an Indigenous woman, while a weaker punishment would be levelled against the criminal who attacked a woman of any other race or background.

And as criminals who attack Indigenous women are more likely to be Indigenous men or women than they are any other race, there’s already a fix for that.

Brad Wall;

There is a great economic risk to Canada’s resource sector if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau barrels ahead with this new mess. Sadly, one gets the sense that no matter how beset the feds are with well-considered challenges to C-69 — the latest of which came so compellingly from new Alberta Premier Jason Kenney — they do not want to hear the ends of any of their critics’ sentences.
 
More serious still is what Bill C-69 and yet another parliamentary peach, Bill C-48, the B.C. tanker ban, will do to national unity if they become the law of the land.

National Post:

The federal government’s industrial benefits program for military procurement is so open to interpretation that instead of high-tech defence industry jobs Canada could end up with more plants that produce french fries, say procurement specialists.
 
The government has allowed Irving Shipbuilding to claim a $40-million industrial benefit credit for an Alberta french fry factory as part of a contract to provide the Royal Canadian Navy with new Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships, the Globe and Mail confirmed Thursday.
 
Under the government’s industrial and technological benefits policy, the prime contractors on such military procurements are required to do work in Canada equal to 100 per cent of the value of the contract they receive.

Irving, again.

World’s shortest victory lap.

The agreement is what trade watchers call a “snap back” deal. Yes, the tariffs were removed. But the U.S. reserved the right to slap them back on — specifically, “in the event that imports of aluminum or steel products surge meaningfully beyond historic volumes of trade over a period of time.”

 

Freeland has been asked to define a “surge” and couldn’t. Her spokesperson said later that Canada’s hope was that this part of the agreement would never be used.

And there’s more.

Amusing, yes — but let’s be fair. This is hardly a scientific survey.

Thus this is where we, the SDA Nation, step in to invoke the scientific method by attempting to replicate the Rebel’s results:
