  1. April Fools Joke on Canadians. Thank the truck drivers for having to pay more money for everything in this country due to the increase in the carbon tax. This is the same government that just a short while ago was calling small business operators, tax avoiders, remember that. I am so sick of the buffoons in this country that elected these rocket scientists, brain surgeons, and financial wizards into positions that are leading us down the path to oblivion.

    1. Ah yes the Canadian way. Outrage is all that I am capable of feeling these days. If only the corona virus infected the very stupid exclusively.

  2. When Prinz Dummkopf introduced the bill that would ban oil tanker traffic on the west coast, Garneau was sitting behind him nodding in agreement with everything HRH said.

    What’s it to be, Dr. Garneau? First you want to help strangle the oil and gas industry and now you praise truckers while playing BOHICA with them, as well as the rest of us, by increasing the carbon theft–er, tax.

  3. The price of gas yesterday had fallen to 69.9 cents (in near useless CAD) per litre. Not going to squeeze much carbon tax out of that. The Feds are working toward a $120 billion deficit in 2020. But I doubt they have a handle on loss of revenue. Deficit could hit $200 billion if you look at loss of HST, income tax, source deductions, oil and gas taxes, etc. Of course interest rates will never rise so we’ll be fine /s.

    The deficit could actually hit 10-15% of GDP. Let that sink in. Meanwhile the banks are raising their interest rates just as the Feds are lowering theirs. What do the banks know that the Feds do not?

    1. The carbon tax is PER LITRE, not a percentage. They will squeeze a huge amount out of us. See this web page that lists ALL the various taxes on gasoline, diesel, and natural gas…
      https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/our-natural-resources/domestic-international-markets/transportation-fuel-prices/fuel-consumption-taxes-canada/18885

      An example… Alberta gasoline taxes: Federal excise tax $0.10, Provincial excise tax $0.13, Carbon Tax $0.0442, GST 5%
      Today in Edmonton… gasoline is 0.63 per litre (28.8 cents tax, 34.2 cents actual fuel)

      Another example… Vancouver diesel: Federal excise tax $0.04, Dedicated Motor Fuel BCTFA tax (Province-wide) $0.0675, Provincial Motor Fuel Tax (General Revenue) $0.0225, South Coast (Vancouver) Dedicated Translink Motor Fuel tax $0.185, Carbon tax $0.1023, HST 12% (7% prov portion is refunded at point of sale)
      Today in Vancouver… diesel is 102.9 per litre (41.94 cents tax, 60.96 cents actual fuel)

  4. To think that this grovelling arse-kisser made it to Captain rank in the Navy.

    Funny how this old guy’s condemnation is another’s commendation.

    1. Ah yes, one of the special section of the commissioned ranks.
      The language qualification was per the official languages act equivalent to command abilities.
      Only to be out bid by the gender quota.
      Was placed in the space program to keep the inclusiveness admins at NASA from interfering in day to day operations.
      Yeah, that’s our space person.

  5. Of all the stupid things this Liberal government has done the STUPIDEST is imposing a Carbon Tax during a medical emergency——with the country shutdown!
    Bronston one of the professors teaching economics at the U of S said there were 3-5 drivers in the economy!!! The Liberals have destroyed the OIL(and MIning) sector, weakening the Agriculture , and manufacturing sectors!!!
    The country has no cylinders left!
    —-Our Debt to Tax payer ratio before Covid 19 was the worst in the history of Canada——-and people keep voting them in!!!

    1. I would say that over 90% of the Canadian public are financial idiots. No one knows how to budget, they all live on credit cards – which is exactly what all governments do.
      I am not thrilled to be self-isolated (but I am retired, so already self-isolated to a degree and know how to entertain myself), but perhaps this “flu” will be the first of the musical chairs. Only time will tell.

  6. Garneau is right, for once. Canadians depend on truck drivers.

    In an ideal world those truck drivers would take the opportunity to stay home until grocery stores offer them a wage they can support a family on. For the sake of their health of course.

    Only ten meals’ worth of food stands between your typical Bay Street parasite and a food riot.

  7. Garneau: “To all Canadians: think for a moment about just how incredible our truck drivers are. Yes they are the ones who make it possible for your grocery and pharmacy shelves to be stocked. They deserve our praise.”

    Just think how incredible diesel fuel is. Without it our truck drivers might as well be in self-isolation while an entire nation starves to death.

    So… DOUBLE THE CARBON TAXES! TRIPLE THE CARBON TAXES!! KEEP THOSE FOSSIL FUELS IN THE GROUND WHERE THEY BELONG!!!

    1. Nick wins the internet for today.
      The Media Party seems to believe having Boy Blunder waffle on for an hour each day is “reassuring Canadians”.
      First thought as I was flicking by,if I was in a lifeboat with that idiot,the boat would soon be floating a little higher.
      Then I thought a little further,same applies to the entire Liberal Party and their enablers.
      And we are in a lifeboat,of the civilizational type,and it is going down.
      Once the hysteria is over and the damage becomes obvious,we will need to lighten the load.
      Are you still willing to labour to enrich entitled parasites?
      Who have betrayed every reason for their existence?

      1. Unfortunately the methods that will be used to lighten the lifeboats load won t be the parasites or those that demand more freebies from government. The new method will be ” Boomer Remover” after all these are the people that are overloading the demand on Canadas sanctified ” free health care system “. Even the dimmest moron in the country has to know that it has never been free, even those that manage the system realize that the costs are out of control and getting worse every month. Then add in the Roxham Road refugees that have never paid a dime into Canadas Health Care have now been promised 20 years of free health care including dental and prescription coverage. Where will that money come from? The answer is Boomer Remover is the only way to provide these promised benefits. Many years ago Thomas Jefferson replied to a question from a constituent about government benefits he said ” any government that is big and powerful enough to give you any thing you want or need is also powerful enough to take it all away” Canadas Future!

    1. That is precisely what EVERYBODY should do. When you get a utility bill of any kind that shows you the carbon tax, short the bill by the amount of the carbon tax.

  8. I’m sick of looking/listening to Trudeau coming out spouting off how much money they are passing out while giving us little in the way of how they plan on getting us through this massive crisis beyond uttering the same phrase “we will get through this”.

    One thing for sure adding a carbon tax and talking about how we still must protect the environment when people are trying to figure out how they will survive physically, mentally and economically is as dumb ass as it gets. It’s a goddamned disgrace.

    1. They do.

      Average canucklehead voter: “Who give me most free stuff? Me like free stuff.”

  9. Diesel also powers farm tractors and combines. Lieberals figure we should just go back to draft horses. Or, scatter and harvest all by hand.

    To join the Canadian Space Programme, an applicant must be a card carrying Lieberal.

    If Parliament is being recalled, they must also get rid of the six-month free reign blank cheque fiasco as well. Won’t happen. Politicians are just plain narcissists.

    1. To join the Canadian Space Programme, an applicant must be a card carrying Lieberal.

      It doesn’t hurt if one is from Quebec.

  10. The feds have gotten to the point where I believe absolutely nothing they say.Other than the rebel media I don’t believe anything the media says What kind of idiot could screw up a country this bad.

  11. I sincerely believe the Liberals and their puppet masters like what is happening and want it to be really bad, they always admired Cuba and Venezuela and envy the power accumulation in those socialist models. Trudeau admires the Chinese government and I expect he will outsource Canadian surveillance of civilians through Chinese 5G network implementation. Predicting the future is very hard to do but I’ve told my family to watch, the USA will deal very well with this pandemic and will return to a new version of normal while Canada continues to go into a cultivated panic and permanent steep decline. Remember, the federal government officially declared a “climate emergency” and this virus reaction is congruent with climate emergency measures. Call it Green New Deal, Modern Monetary Theory, the Communist Manifesto, Marxism… they only see one path to solve all our problems and it’s not individual autonomy, free enterprise, free markets, freedom…

    1. Well, the poison pill in their plan is that once they actually get what they are asking for and there is nobody else to blame for the bad outcome due to running out of other people’s money they have to experience the consequences of their actions and there is no way to hide it.
      For reference see how the chicoms tried unsuccessfully to cover up the virus outbreak.

    1. it is entirely possible at some time in space he lost his oxygen supply. Poor poor mannie

  12. I’m for the government , I’m here to help you .. From Minister of Health (aka graphic designer) Hajdu …

    .. CORRECT .. Trudeau sent them all to China. How nice.

  13. It was the Liberals who cut the meal tax deduction for truckers almost in half and the Harper Conservatives who restored it. Bite my ass, Garneau.
