  1. We have a Prime minister J the turd jr. who is a self admitted liar and thief and you expect a gov that is here for you????

  2. Maybe farmers should stop providing food to cities like Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. I’ll bet that will get the attention of der Schwarzen Prinz.

  3. “Not on foreign food imports. Just on Canadian food.”

    There’s that Levant mendacity. Look, the carbon tax can be attacked but this isn’t how to do it. If the farmer uses less ‘carbon’ in growing the food, the carbon tax downstream of him/her is reduced. It is NOT a tax on food.

    “And you just gave $50,000,000 to fast-track cheap foreign labourers to take Canadian farm jobs, ahead of unemployed Canadians.”

    There’s that Levant economic illiteracy. Immigrants don’t ‘take’ your jobs because your job doesn’t belong to you. It belongs to the employer. The farmers desperately need more labor to prevent the food from rotting in the fields. Thank God for more immigration.

    1. So …let me get your “logic” correct … IF Canadian ranchers and farmers will simply trade all their diesel driven equipment for horse-drawn, Amish-like 18th Century farming techniques … then their food will be “cheaper”!? Free from carbon taxes?

      Seriously?

      You’re seriously going to ignore what happens to the price of food as productivity and efficiency gets cut by 75%? Wow! You sound JUST LIKE Joesph Stalin. What could possibly go wrong?

      Well … there is one silver lining to your idiocy … all the poor people would die of starvation as they can no longer afford food. So, Darwin would thin the ranks of the weak, and poorly educated. Wait! Oops … that won’t happen, because the Govt. will take all the money off the rich and give it to the poor. Bummer. All the productive citizens will die. Dystopia acceding to UnMe

      1. You’re an imbecile who deals in strawmen. Please don’t talk about ‘logic’ or anything else. You’re bad at thinking.

        1. If the farmer uses less ‘carbon’ in growing the food, the carbon tax downstream of him/her is reduced. It is NOT a tax on food.

          Straw man? Fine. I will wait for your detailed explanation as to HOW farmers will be using “less” carbon in food production (Pro tip: “less” carbon is still carbon taxed). So how much “less” carbon will the farmers be using in order to stabilize food prices? And explain why this reduction in carbon will not reduce crop yields?

          I’ll wait for your nonsensical answer

          1. I leave that up to farmers. Maybe it will be investment in more fuel-efficient equipment or GMOs. As I’ve said before I’m not a carbon tax fan but it’s being built up way way too much by many of its opponents, and it is probably far less awful than many other anti-carbon initiatives. Hilariously, it’s actually Trump that has done more than anyone in the past year to raise energy prices by talking OPEC into cutting output on threat of oil tariffs. Kenney also took the mask off in that incident.

          2. So inotherwords … you will simply ‘wish and hope’ there is some way to effectively reduce our “addiction” to fossil fuels. ‘Perhaps’ there’s some more fuel-efficient machine out there that can offset the cost of draconian carbon taxes? As if farmers are too ‘dumb’ to pencil-out the cost-benefit of taking on the massive cost of new equipment … that are what? 5% more efficient? Hint: farmers want equipment that is #1: durable, #2: easy to repair onsite, #3: do the work of 25 immigrant interlopers.

            Have you seen Michael Moore’s latest film? If you have … you will discover the unmitigated disaster of “wishes and hopes”. Esp. when everyone who presented the ecological, mathematical, arguments AGAINST the myth of “clean, green, renewable, energy” … were ignored and marginalized as “industry shills”. Now we are stuck with massive white elephants blighting some of our most (formerly) pristine environment.

            It’s sad that you leftists don’t do “maths” very well … yet claim a corner on “data” and “science”. The ignorance is sickening.

          3. UnMe, it is a tax on food. And as a net exporter of food products all it achieves is to drive up the price of Canadian products against foreign competition and encourages the import of food products from foreign jurisdictions not burdened with such taxes. It encourages LESS reliance on local products and more on imports.

            Kenji is right; the notion of reducing carbon emissions in farming is nonsense as anyone knows who actually takes the time to look at the production and transport chain.

          4. ” it is a tax on food. ”

            No. It. Isn’t. It’s a tax on a common input into food costs. The idea is to limit the input. I’m not even saying this is a great idea but the ways it’s being attacked are stupid. Make better arguments.

            “the notion of reducing carbon emissions in farming is nonsense as anyone knows who actually takes the time to look at the production and transport chain.”

            And anyone not besotted with the lack of imagination that seems to plague most here knows that the biotech revolution is about to upend the standard food model. Lab-grown meat is almost here, lab-grown dairy pretty much is (Perfect Day). Vertical farming is a niche today I expect that will change. A lot of farming as we know it is going to become obsolete, carbon tax or no.

          6. Hahaha ha Lance … that’s EXACTLY how I picture UnMe … which I assume is from Shakespeare’s Lady MacBeth who demands of the gods “Unsex me here!” As she screws up the courage to plan the murder of King Duncan. UnMe has been shortened from the Un sex Me here … only … I believe it’s gone the opposite direction of Lady MacBeth

        2. https://youtu.be/FmDK0ANSlhM

          Down at the well, they got a new machine
          The foreman says it cuts man-power by fifteen
          Yeah, but that ain’t natural, yeah, well, so old Clay would say
          You see, he’s a horse-drawn man until his dying day

          Old UnMe says carbon … ‘ain’t natural’ … don’t you see, he’s a horse-drawn man until his dying day

          1. UnMe is an expert. We should listen to him. He, like Dear Leader Prinz Dummkopf the Supremely Magnificent (Long May His Wisdom Shine Throughout The Ages), dispenses nothing but pure wisdom and knowledge.

            Ignore him at your own risk.

        3. “No. It. Isn’t. It’s a tax on a common input into food costs. The idea is to limit the input.”

          Oh lookie here our resident grade 10 economist no longer wears a free market hat. Yes a tax on carbon is tax on food. If farmers did not need carbon they would have substitute away from it voluntarily. They don’t, they use carbon in production of food because that leads to lower production cost/higher profit.

          Isn’t it what your economic theory says? Doesn’t your economic theory postulate that producers choose the most efficient input mix and that leads to greater supply and lower per unit price?

          So why does the resident free marketeer all off a sudden (again) starts playing interference for Blackie’s junta? Because:

          “…the biotech revolution is about to upend the standard food model….”

          In the end, again, it is all about destroying the Western World, the White People and their way of living. “Ruralism is obsolete” and everyone gets to rent a pod in UnMe’s dystopian paradise.

        4. This is whom Kate insists on keeping around. She bans conservatives but keeps this communist azzwipe. Go figure the logic. I guess, he is tame and keeps click $$ flowing, which is business, and anything business is sacred for the conservatives. Makes sense? Oh, it could be a sock puppet as well.

      2. Kenji…you don’t seriously expect common sense from UnGooph now do you..??

        You must realize this commie drone is the embodiment & personification of “Useful Idiot.”

      3. Kenji, unme is a mental midget, don’t waste any time replying to him/her/it.

    2. All you have to do is prove that Ezra Levant is lying here. You can do that by citing evidence, not by spitting out the same leftist retreads that don’t stand up to scrutiny.

      Pout in the corner. The malls aren’t opened yet.

      1. It’s a dishonest conflation. No, taxing the carbon input of an item is not the same as a tax on the item itself. The former can probably be reduced. It’s also hilariously self-contradicting because Ezra’s implied hate-on for those who terk r jerbs would in practice drive up labor costs, which is a far more nefarious tax on an input than even the carbon tax.

        1. It’s not dishonest. The cabon tax is because global warming is a fraud. This is a proven fact, not a model.
          Also unemployed Canadians should be doing the farm labour and other jobs previously given to foreigners. Until this pandemic is over no foreign workers should be allowed into Canada.
          It’s very simple. If the unemployed don’t want the job they don’t get EI or any other taxpayer money.

          1. Sporty, the climate crisis is almost as big a fraud as the whoowho flu.

          2. OWG – the Wuhoo flu actually exists and has killed people. Human caused global climate change only exists in the models. We’re still well within the range of natural variation.

            And natural variation includes the 130m sea level change over about 800 years from the Younger Dryas. Myopia is needed to think that the weather is unprecedented.

            Thinking that either has the capacity to end life on earth is, of course, fraudulent. But one of these things actually proven to exist.

          3. “global warming is a fraud”

            No it’s not. The facts are facts, it’s real, build a bridge and get over it.

            “no foreign workers should be allowed into Canada”

            Piss off. You have no business deciding who hires who. You will be buried.

          4. C Miner, the whoowho flu has proven to be less fatal than the seasonal flu get your head out.

        2. I cooked up some locally grown potatoes this AM. From Taber, AB. Spudland out here. McCain french fries. Potato salad. There were a few in the bag that reminded me of you, dirty lotta cuts and bruises. Garbage spuds, good only to feed the Magpies. Added some Mayonnaise et al. How’d they get to me? Diesel. Got a better method to move ’em, Smart Buoy? Windmill truck? I know, Prairie Schooners.

          2. Ever experienced a natural gas fire vs diesel? You can put a burning match out in diesel. Natural gas, not so much.

        3. Maybe it will be investment in more fuel-efficient equipment or GMOs…”

          “…the biotech revolution is about to..
          ”
          “..The former can probably be reduced..”

          UnMe in his fashion, says he doesn’t know what he is talking about.

    3. It is a tax on food. In fact, it is a tax on life. And your ignorance of economics rather droll…..perhaps if der Schwarzen Prinz wasn’t out buying votes with taxpayer dollars for people to sit on their asses, the jobs would remain with Canadians. Oh….and by the way, learn the difference between “foreign workers” and immigrants.

      1. “the jobs would remain with Canadians”

        Not these ones. Normal Canadians don’t want to do this back-breaking awful labor. That’s not what I got a degree for!

        1. That’s not what I got a degree for!

          That’s right. Work of any kind is beneath you. Better to sit on your backside in you mommy’s basement, smoking your Trudeau Tobacco, and reminding the rest of us for being fools for wanting to earn our rewards.

          1. MANUAL work is beneath me lab work is not. This is my wet bench. There are many like it but this one is mine. Without me my wet bench is nothing. Without my wet bench, I am nothing.

          2. “Without my wet bench, I am nothing.”

            True, … same goes for with the bench unfortunately.

        2. They don’t have a choice. Do the fucking job or fend for yourself. No EI. No welfare. No CERB.
          Nothing.

          1. You are 105% correct Sporty.

            I’ll never get over the shock of my first encounter with the great Austrian School economist von Mises when he wrote: in the unhampered economy there is no involuntary unemployment.

            EI and minimum wages are two of the many MANY examples of hampering.

            UnMe, your statement about being above certain kind s of work is the most self revelatory statement you’ve made on this board.

        3. Yea, yea go back to China and float your useless online paper “degree” down the Yangtze. We already get millions of those CV’s from India every year.

        4. and in what field would that degree be? Mine is a bachelors in Applied Science.

          Would yours happen to be agricultural (BAa, BAa) or crap (BS)?

          And a smart junior engineer listens to the tradesmen and operators they’re working with. You’ve consistently shown no evidence of being able to learn from those who have actually done the topic under discussion. A license to learn shouldn’t be mistaken for a license of mastery. “In theory, there’s no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.” (Yogi Berra)

          1. It’s a graduate degree in life sciences.

            “You’ve consistently shown no evidence of being able to learn from those who have actually done the topic under discussion. ”

            It’s not my fault they tend to miss the point.

          2. C_Miner, very well said.

            Too much theory in our current world, not enough practical.

          3. “It’s a graduate degree in life sciences.”

            The one that taught you that mooselimbs invented Calculus?

            The one where as an elective you have taken history and learned that Canada invaded Weimar Republic?

          4. Colonista:

            He got a “life experiences” degree from Broom Closet Photocopier University. The “life sciences” comes from living “scientifically”.

        5. “Piss off. You have no business deciding who (hires) does back-breaking awful labor. You will be buried”

    4. Oh!
      And how do I use less carbon in farming?
      Details, please.
      The tractor pulling the air seeder needs fueling this afternoon.
      What shall I put in the fuel tank?
      Elizabeth May bumper sticker slogans?
      Justin Trudeau’s fabulous new socks?
      Fairy dust?

      Tell me, what should I fuel the tractor with this afternoon?
      Do you think I burn as much diesel fuel as I possibly can or do you think I burn the least amount of diesel that I possibly can?
      Here’s the part that is really confusing you: Farmers already reduce fuel use as much as possible.

      But instead of your stupid green platitudes let’s hear some actual details, like, WHAT DO I FUEL THE TRACTOR WITH?

      1. That part is left up to you. Maybe you should send an email to Elon Musk. Electric AND autonomous!

        1. So all you have is mindless gibberish.

          Funny how that works!
          When you ask a liberal a specific question about the policies they support then they just babble incoherently.

        2. And what is going to produce that electricity? And how are you going to distribute it? How is it going to be stored?
          You really don’t have a clue about how things work.

        4. See you as a typical liberal/socialist/Marist Fuuctard don’t have a solution. You never do. Hence you’re a fuuctard.

      2. Feed Lucky Charms cereal to your unicorn and collect the magical farts that result.

        1. That’s the “natural gas” he referred to earlier.

        1. Curious where your practical life experience comes from?

          Graduate degree in life sciences may be important, or may not be due to multiple variables including 80/20 rule etc.

          Anyway, how do you balance your white collar education? What blue collar skills do you practice regularly?

        2. Vertical farming on vast miles of absolutely flat land… for a country that has 160.2 million acres of mainly FLAT crop LAND.
          You are an overeducated idiot.

    5. Please do not encourage the poor man or woman in his or her phantasmagorical meanderings. I will shorthand by using male while including all of the myriad other possible gender variations including non-gender possibilities. No offense to any that insist on taking offense.

      His is the typical liberal brain. A carbon tax on the fuel used in the production of raw material for food is not a tax on the food itself. How is this tax to be paid? Why, let the farmer pay it. Or, as he suggests, let the farmer use less fuel.

      And the latter idea is the essence of liberal thinking going back through time. It is shown best by their ideological leader, Karl Marx. He says the worker will inherit the means of production, but he never describes how it will happen. He details the unrest in labour and the top heavy corruption of the ruling class then jumps to the fantasy of a world ruled by workers. He ignores the human corruption displayed by those in power that destroy the very fantasy world they seek to create.

      Liberal leftists always find a problem. It does not matter if it is real or imagined. Then they concoct a non-solution solution that forces someone else to pay while creating both a different problem and a bureaucratic layer to siphon off more of the public’s money. The left-wing fascists (Hitler said he was a socialist by the way. Nazi is short for Nationalist Socialist Workers Party of Germany. Hold up Stalins’s, Mussolini’s, and Hitler’s party platforms side by side and it is hard to find a difference between them) then make the demand that someone else find the solution to the problem the lefties created while using Orwellian double speak to say the latter problem is not a problem.

      The poor guy’s own statements prove he has never farmed nor owned a business. I would make a wager of a coffee and a donut that Unme’s position in society involves the arts or social sciences. It is obvious he is not in engineering, accounting, business management, or anything that involves the managing of a budget.

      Meanwhile, don’t worry, Unme will be mugged and raped by the system soon enough.

  5. A job is a social contract between the employer and employee. Neither owns it outright.
    The employer has a task that he alone cannot complete. The employee agrees to do the task for an agreed compensation. If they cant agree the task remains undone and the job seeker remains uncompensated.

    1. Yes, it is, but it is the POOL of employees that is the issue. And if the pool of employees is small, the value of the labor increases. If the pool is large, the value decreases.

      1. Correction: the COST increases or decreases inverse to the size of the pool. The value is entirely in the eye of the beholder.

        1. WRONG! The cost is determined by the Consumer. The Free Market. Oh … until an illegal monopoly is formed by either the producers … or government. The Consumer cannot buy that which they cannot afford … after they’ve run up their credit cards to maximum monopolistic interest rates.

          You ‘collectivists’ know nothing of the REAL world, or real value. You believe you can (economically) PUNISH your way to some imaginary nirvana. Oh! Wait! You just haven’t yet done that PUNISHMENT ‘right’ yet …

  6. And that’s why I financially support Rebel Media, voluntarily.

    Have any of the pimped out Canadian media mentioned any of the actual consequences of Trudeau’s idiotic and hypocritical policies?
    Do they understand the concept that policies have consequences?
    Or are they too busy furiously typing with one hand their ‘Breaking News!, Special Report!’ about Blackie’s fabulous new socks?
    Furiously.

  7. . . . buy Canadian.

    Unless of course you want to buy anything that does not grow in Canada at this time of year, which is “most fresh fruits and vegetables.”

    Dunce.

  8. Back in the horse powered days, at least twenty percent of the arable land was dedicated to crops to feed the horses as they need to be feed if they work or don’t work.All summer,all winter or they die. They must be feed to keep them in workable condition or they are not prepared for next years season. Horses need replacements,horses need health care and horses get diseases that are passed on to humans. Untamed horses are big, strong and dangerous. Many farm and industrial workers were injured or killed by runaways or trampling. Horses need rests, they can’t work twenty four hours a day like machines and they need very skilled teamsters to guide them.

  9. I suppose one of the farmer’s options is to seed less acreage.
    That means less food to export to third world countries so more brown people will, you know, starve.

    Is there any possibility of ever explaining the concept of cause and effect to a liberal?

    1. No. Nor math. Nor physics to a Life Sciences graduate, a guy that studied biology. Physics, like energy production, looks real simple to the uninitiated. UnMe talks of cutting carbon without having any idea of how to do that beyond the “maybes” and “possiblies” and “mights” and “natural gas,” which, of course, requires big heavy tanks to hold that gas under high pressure, and refilling about every 40 minutes on something like a tractor, using its 500 or 600 horsepower to cultivate or seed, or the combine’s similar power to harvest. That would go over real well with the farmers trying to seed or harvest ten sections at a time when the weather windows are narrow. Watch the production fall to about 20% and the food costs rise to about five times what they are now.
      The staggering ignorance that is killing this country. In the end, of course, we’ll be able to say “we told you so” but it will be way too late. And UnMe will starve along with the rest of us.

  10. Geez Kate.
    I know it is bad form to feed your troll and takes the conversation off into strange and often useless paths.The sheer idiocy of todays “Wisdom by Ummie” is so rich and pure the temptation becomes..
    Actually it shows your wisdom.
    Limiting the responses to the critter forces it to demonstrate incurable stupidity all by itself.
    When Justine was first elected I was hard pressed to understand the kind of citizen who could swallow what his crew was offering, but your kindness in allowing Unme to post here has done wonders for curing my incomprehension.
    George Carlin was right.
    50% are below average.
    When does the famine kick in?
    For the ground work seems well and truly laid.

    There is something very Byzantine Empirish about the concept of taxing a product to encourage the use of an alternative product which does not exist in any viable form.
    Strangely enough as we crush the producers of wealth under volumes of rules and regulations the collapse of empires does seem so appropriate.

    1. But John …

      You’re an imbecile who deals in strawmen. Please don’t talk about ‘logic’ or anything else. You’re bad at thinking.

      If I didn’t occasionally feed the Troll … I’d miss his dis-missives like the one above. Which prove I’ve ‘triggered’ something deep in his psyche’ reminding him he has absolutely no cogent argument to refute my logic. It’s delicious to my own ‘defective’ psyche’

  12. Like every other bailout, guess who gets the 50 million? Small time Saskatchewan farmer? No. Middle level Manitoba farmer? No. Big time Ontario Corporations with offices on 5 continents? Yes.

    1. It’s Saturday PM, maybe folks had nothing better to do? After 3 months of Chinah crap folks are getting ornery at stupid people. Do you blame them? I just wasted about 20 seconds of my time on it. I own it, so what?

    2. And asking the argumentative troll any question yields one of three things:
      1- A nonsense, wishful thinking response of idiocy.
      2- A nonsense, wishful thinking response of idiocy.
      3- A nonsense, wishful thinking response of idiocy.
      Therefore, ignore the idiot, and let it shrivel and die from loneliness.
      We already have to practice ignoring his leader of idiocy and wishful, or is it withful(?) thinking, from PM Ponce.

    3. The word is triggered.

      So much snarkiness goes back and forth around one commenter.

      Unme said two correct things.
      1. Carbon tax is a consumption tax. (Intended to change behaviors). GST is a consumption tax intended to enrich no one. The Laurentians don’t know, don’t care, where their food comes from because they can afford it. The world simply hates hydrocarbons and now it’s taxed. Record SUV sales to rich hypocrites back East not withstanding.

      For farmers, the free market will reflect that price or profitibility will suffer. Capatilism always wins and sadly, as usual, farm families will probably lose.

      2. Immigrants do the sh1t jobs you won’t do.

      Arkansas banned illegal workers and farmers could find no American to pick the watermelon.

      You all won’t work at the meat cutting plant or trim the fruit from the vines or change Nanas diapers. No one born here, under 40, values that kind of hard work. It’s simply a commodity to all of us.

      We are a nation of immigrants (mostly) and that immigration drives much economy and innovation. It brings the complex challenges of assimilation and mandates change among those who are facing it.

      Unme wasn’t wrong.

      1. So who did these jobs before we started importing a permanent underclass?
        Cause when I was in school the meat processing works paid top dollar wages.
        Later automation started reducing the owners costs.
        Importing low wage workers and discarding them when used, quite the country we built.

  14. Intelligence is not the amount of education you have!
    It is how well your intelligence uses that education!
    There are many well educated yet stupid, individuals out there. You can educate the village idiots up to including, a life sciences degrees, but that will not make them intelligent!
    I have met many smart, savvy, intelligent, people with less than a grade school education!
    I have met many more fools with a university education who are idiots! The volume of savvy individuals on this blog astounds me, and fortunately there are very few village idiots!
    A dog can be smart, but will eat until it vomits, then save the vomit for later! Let’s try to not to feed the village idiots!

  15. UnMe,

    Here’s an easy question. What is the numerical relationship between tonnes of CO2 emitted and global temperature? In simple terms

    1 tonne CO2 = ? degrees C.

    To be able to say that carbon taxes are a sensible policy priority that will have a meaningful impact on temperature you need to know the number. Right?

    I’m sure you can help us. Thanks.

    1. No, the troll will never respond logically or truthfully to any valid, logical question.
      It will only spew its rhetoric and argue with you.
      Like arguing with a drunk, you wont get a valid answer. So, its best to ignore the idiot, and laugh at its stupidity

      1. I’m probably not the only one who feels this way: I am beyond tired of seeing the garbage from Unme in the comments section.
        If only there was some way for us to to block out comments from certain users.

    2. I have a simpler argument.

      In the 20 years since Al Gore proclaimed the hockey stick end of the world, name one person who has died from global warming.

      One shore line that has vanished?

      That’s why they had to manufacture a how-dare-you raging poster child.

      They sure missed with the scrawny polar bear.

  16. Very true Kenji.
    What warms me at night or when the 9/10 voices in my head are speaking..is that the School of Hard Knocks awaits us all.
    Every time you enrage the creature it reveals ever more.
    Degree in Life Sciences, eh.
    So Ummie is a “Life Scientist” ?
    In the same manner of Political Science Graduates, being “Political Scientists?

    One of those interesting correlations of the last few decades,is the observed fact.
    If a subject includes SCIENCE in its title the odds are unforgivingly high that science will play no part.
    We knew Biology,Chemistry and Physics and were taught the scientific method as a tool (to prevent our tendency to see patterns where none exist).
    We have been hectored over these decades by experts,who constantly change their goals,yet maintain a certainty worthy of zealots.
    Life Scientist Eh?
    Well bless its little heart.
    Funny how the scientist I respected and sought the writings there of,first were more than happy to explain their discoveries and seemed flattered to find laymen who were interested in their work.
    One of the finest stated,”If you cannot explain so as a well educated 12 year old might understand you,you do not know your own work”.

    These people were willing to explain the workings and weaknesses of their theories and always careful to point out the many uncertainties inherent in the studies.
    Now we have lab-coat wearers confusing the costume with the skill.

    Might explain why the rate of innovation has tapered way down.
    Oh well,if one wants to catch an old institution,kill it and wear its skin as a trophy..What can we say?
    Everybody needs a hobby.

  18. The fact is that hardly any Canadian taxpayer knows how effective or ineffective reducing emissions is in reducing temperature. Talking about success in terms of Tonnes of CO2 is a deliberate fraud. Temperature is measured in degrees.

    I’ll give UnMe a chance to think and will check in with the figures in a couple of hours. If my question made him disappear – well that’s something!

    1. *
      let’s go after carbon dioxide… the gas that many commercial
      greenhouses inject nightly to promote plant growth.

      1. And may I point out that oxygen is a greenhouse gas, as well as water vapour.
        Produced in a greenhouse from plants absorbing carbon dioxide.

        See, I am a scientist too.

  19. I’d like to know what % of the food supply is planted, fertilized, harvested, transported, etc. solely with diesel tractors.

  20. SUMMARY:
    Question: If fully implemented by all provinces, what physical effect would the proposed federal carbon tax have on climate?
    Answer: In 2022 global warming would be averted by 0.00015⁰C annually, or 1⁰C per 6700 years. One can get an equivalent ‘climate change’ impact by stepping on a thick carpet or moving two houses north in a typical subdivision. Check the calculations below.

    If all provinces were to fully participate in the proposed carbon tax CO₂ emissions might be reduced by 90 megatonnes in 2022, according to the Federal Government. With the projected tax rising to $50.00 per tonne the annual cost would be $4.5 billion, or $445 per Canadian family. THE GOVERNMENT MAKES NO MENTION OF THE IMPACT ON GLOBAL TEMPERATURE.

    CALCULATIONS –
    Peer-reviewed studies claim that each tonne of CO₂ emissions increases global temperature by 0.0000000000017⁰C per year. Let’s apply this factor to the projected emissions reduction:
    90,000,000 tonnes / year x 0.0000000000017⁰C / tonne = 0.000153⁰C / year
    Stated differently, the impact of the proposed carbon tax on global temperature would be equivalent to one Celsius degree in 6700 years.

    Temperature decreases with altitude. This ‘environmental lapse rate’ is 0.006°C / meter. The increase in altitude to ‘feel’ the same impact as caused by the proposed carbon tax is:
    0.000153⁰C / 0.006°C / meter = 0.0255 meters
    This is 2.55 centimeters – just over one inch.

    As we travel North, the climate cools on average. This cooling rate is 0.0056°C / mile in the Northern Hemisphere. The distance north to ‘feel’ the equivalent impact on temperature is:
    0.000153⁰C / 0.0056⁰C / mile = 0.027 miles.
    This is 144 feet or roughly 44 meters, equivalent to moving north by approximately the width of two suburban residential lots.

    Reductions are extremely difficult to predict and may easily be affected by economic realities and a lack of political will – as witnessed by the reaction of several provinces. Even Germany’s efforts have stalled, with negligible progress in the last decade and a recent admission that their 2020 targets will be missed by a wide margin. Germany will have spent over US $110 billion on solar power alone to defer global warming by 37 hours at the end of the century.

    Does the public support a carbon tax? Until voters are given facts it is impossible to say. Polls that simply ask motherhood questions about ‘do you believe in fighting climate change’ without a clear explanation of the costs and the benefits are simply disingenuous. We let them get away with it – shame.
    If anyone wishes to disagree with the data – please do so. BUT PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE FIGURES WITH CREDIBLE SOURCES.

  21. I wish I lived in Justin’s dream world, where the world’s problems are caused, and profited from, by men with names like Ezra Levant.

    But I can visit for a few lines.

    Elders of Zion, if somehow everything I know is wrong, and you’re out there secretly pulling the strings somewhere—send Justin packing and put your brother Ezra in his place.

    Ezra actually has the sense God gave a Jew, and can see as well as you should that if you thought things were bad for you during the thirties and forties, you really won’t like what the Chinese have in store for you.

    In Canada, anyway, Alberta social credit isn’t your biggest concern any more. Chinese social credit is. I shudder at the thought of how piss-poor the social credit rating of the average Jew will be after the Chinese take over the world. Somewhere, I suspect, below the ratings of former members of the US Republican party and bat droppings.

  22. I just saw Justin on the local news. It was obvious that he has not had a haircut since the lockdown. Why can’t Sophie give him a trim? My wife has cut mine and I’m sure there are millions more like her.

    1. Sophie’s been gone since probably before the election and almost certainly since Christmas. Served her purpose, allowed Lieberal leader to present himself as a “normal”, hetero family man, helped get him re-elected, then kicked to the curb. Same thing happened to his mother

  24. After reading the comments on the link and the expert advice on farming I was tempted to write a diatraid on the lunacy . After reconsidering, I realized it is pointless to argue with fools. Apparently producing something of value is so passey when you can just print money. We are going to have a famine before we get our new country.

  25. You raised the carbon tax on Canadian farmers by 50% last month.
    Not on foreign food imports. Just on Canadian food.

    The carbon tax is simply an increase in the tax farmers pay on fuel but just as easily it can be stated that carbon taxes are an increased tax on food produced in Canada. Canadian farmers compete with farmers across the globe so if a tax makes us noncompetitive in certain markets farmers have no choice but to leave that market to others.
    Over the years Canadian governments have recognized that reality and have traditionally reduced federal excise taxes levied on fuels used for farming, fishing and trapping or primary industry. With this year’s brutal harvest weather, Canadian farmers paid thousands of dollars extra for carbon taxes levied on natural gas and propane, the only viable fuels available to dry tough and damp grain.
    Simply stated the tax directly reduces a Canadian farmer’s net return in world markets.

    1. Nold. Thanks for explaining it in terms so simple that even even turdo’s ladies-in-waiting could (if they wanted to) understand it.

    2. Nold , you are trying to reason with people that believe they will receive more from a new tax than it costs them. And save the planet. You are absolutely on point , there is much more and you are dealing with fools.

  27. Tweet deleted? The link and Status pages for Trudoe persistently say “something went wrong”.
