The Economist- Justin Trudeau is beset by a divided party and an angry electorate
Mr Trudeau has to contend with divisions within his own caucus, too. A former adviser, who was involved in developing the carbon tax, believes half of the Liberal cabinet did not support the recent increase. Liberal leaders in Newfoundland and Ontario joined those of Canada’s other provinces in demanding that Mr Trudeau cancel the increase. The levy is scheduled to rise by $15 per tonne annually, until it reaches $170 a tonne in 2030.
“Canada produces less than 2% of the world’s greenhouse-gas emissions, but emits more carbon per person than any large country except the United States and Australia.”
Again with worthless stats to pump up an already steaming pile.
And we import hundreds of thousands of people from warmer climates.
You cannot be pro immigration and pro climate change.
More homes, more trees to make those homes and of course more heat.
Then the question should be asked why are we allowing migrants and refugees to immigrate to Canada from countries where their per capita CO2 emissions are a fraction of Canada’s ?
Once here won’t they immediately assume Canada’s per capita emissions ?
Absolutely. Why not free hotel housing for young people and immigrants???
Nobody needed 7000 new refugee and grandparents who speak no words of English or French.
Canadians who use greenhouse gases, have few skills, have views/values that do not align with Canadian culture, clutter cities in ethnic enclaves and bring nasty protests about problems they brought to our streets.
Guess what? Most CANADIANS do not give a shite about Palistine or Hamas. It has been a failed country with terrible leadership for decades on nice real estate. Ditto for Haiti. More Syrians, Iranians … no thanks. Fix your own countries and go home. No Chinese and Mexican gangs either. Women in Canada do not wear ugly black rags or get pregnant every year. Birth control is free. Farms are for sale, so go buy one and do something useful.
Trudeau: fix the border!!!
Can those of you cheap Canadians who vote NDP send in some political donations? We need an election before 2025. I sincerely hope that fancy headress Singh loses his B.C. seat.
Jagmeet will lose his seat… he don’t care.. He will have “earned” his pension.
per capita per capita!
piss off.
oh, and I planted 500,000 trees in my youth, so Pish off.
I visited old blocks I helped to plant many years later, and they are tall, proud trees.
Maybe I should consult with blackie on how to actually plant 2 billion, or whatever bullshite number he proclaimed.
Did no one tell him about the silviculture industry in this country?
Just as a reminder, he said he was going to plant the same number of trees in 10 years that canada already plants in 3.
Take a break, stevie. Mom says that your need soap in your mouth for bad words. Per capita? Yes, we get it. Trudeau likes vacations, mostly in warm climates, not planting trees: we know, already.
Thank you for the weird extreme effort in your youth planting trees (see, I can spell weird properly now!). People will enjoy your efforts for decades, even milenia! I am sure that you felt a warm, mushy, youthful, green feeling with each of the 1/2 million trees planted.
Don’t forget that donation to the NDP to support our very important and dynamic silviculture industry. Please consult first tribes before you do so again. Blackie only likes his own advice.
OK, deplorable nemesis of the week.
Glad you learned how to spell weird properly, unlike your attempt to spell “milenia”
Oh, and planting trees in my youth made me strong and conservative, not mushy and green. But you wouldn’t know, being a precious grad school gurl with an eye on some blazer wimp.
Did you enjoy grad school and the eye of the governor general and blazers? Heh!
By the by, I once met up with Adrienne Clarkson and John R. I told John that I liked his book, Voltaires Bastards, then tipped a nod to Adrian.
In short, you don’t know me, and you tire me.
Have a nice day.
Was someone calling me just now?
I saw studies that with our wilderness and farmland (being plowed under for immigrant housing) Canada is actually carbon negative.
Per capita emissions are high because of climate and the need to not freeze to death in winter, and the transportation requirements that come with a large area and small sustainable population.
CO2 is not a climate driver. Try and reduce it too much and we all die. Simple fact.

« young Justin, you must stay the course until oct. 2025, remember you have pledged allegiance to the dark side »
« But but, uh, my divine overlord of the west, I’m bored, I want to be, uh, able to go on The View with a Whoopie hairdo and rainbow slippers to match my socks or, uh, party with my buddies Barry and Micheal…nobody adores me anymore, even, uh, my disciples in MSM are more distant now »
Don’t be surprised when Trudeau goes balls deep…if he had any…into a NATO war in Europe. They’ve been running that one up the flagpole in various countries in Europe over the recent months and it won’t be long before they start seriously manipulating public opinion for that stupid plan over here. Look for a false flag or an act of willful ignorance so they can rally support against the evil Russians/Chicoms after that. Liberals love their red herrings…
PM Pansy and the Turbaned Bolshevik can polish my knob if the order ever comes to pick up a rifle and head over the hill for them.
You’re assuming that they won’t want to polish your knob.
I think that’s a given.
Speaking of knob polishing:

The article states that Canadians have one of the highest carbon footprint in the developed world, well d’uh!…if you don’t heat in the winter you die, if you don’t use air conditioning in California (tremendous energy usage) , you sweat but you don’t die, so tell me, as a matter of human survival who has the highest carbon footprint?
Carbon dioxide = plant food, just so you know my position on the whole charade.
Canada has more “carbon offset” greenery than any other First World nation as well.
Yeh, well … what are you going to do if you are an oil, gas, coal, electricity, timber, potash, mining company etc. in not-serious Canada? We are a resource-rich country and manufacture a few good coats. We also have a heck of a lot of lovely trees and bushes and edible animals, both wild and raised on wild or nurtured grasses.
“The last ice age in Canada was during the Pleistocene Epoch. This time period began 2.6 million years ago and ended around 11.8 thousand of years ago. It was said that during this time, many northern and southern countries around the world were covered with ice and glaciers”.
Let us thank our lucky stars that we are not living in a deep ice epoch, when Canada was covered in full-on ice for milenia. Not sure it could have been heated then, with offsets …. Warming is actually great for our generations! Bring on more plants and access to resource goodies, which are excellent, as who likes -40? Cold enough, already.
Bring on climate change! Welcome spring and axe-the-tax!
Pinhead. Easiest decision in the world because it all means nothing.
Who gives a shit how much carbon or “greenhouse” gas we put out?
This Governments job is to keep our services running, not to manage our personal lives.
They can’t run Hospitals, Armies, Police, or Cities without astronomical costs and chaos.
We must smash these FILTHY MARXISTS into oblivion.
I must say I take a little satisfaction knowing the assholes who kept me out of my Mom’s Nursing Home are suffering. They can go to hell. Maybe there are affordable homes there.
My Mom won’t have to look at these EVIL scumbags in Heaven.
“… Hospitals, Armies, Police or Cities …”
They can’t really run any of those things with astronomical costs and chaos, either. The government is full of people who have spent their lives not building, not organizing, not creating, not leading, not managing …
i hope the wee spud stays the course and gets the kim campbell treatment .
What’s wrong with the Ceaușescu treatment?
OT: OT: TPS just arrested the Menzoid again.
Article doesn’t even mention his immigration disaster.
I’ve said on occasion since 2015 that Trudope’s old man built the coffin and jr is putting in the last few nails . Canada is a corpse waiting to rot and the brain dead that voted him in will not go away quietly . The whore media will be in lock step with their lib masters .
You give lefty voters too much credit. They aren’t “brain dead” any more than the average CINO voter. The difference is that lefties are perverse: they envy and despise successful and happy people and will stampede off a cliff before allowing sensible patriots to manage governmental affairs.
Our elected MPs and MLA no longer serve the people.
They are puppets of very rich and powerful interests.
A little off topic but I’m wondering if Trudeau is planning on campaigning against the provincial governments since he can’t win against the federal conservatives.
Any thoughts?
He will run against Trump.
PP is too clever for Trudeau’s low IQ.
I read a borrowed copy of the Communist once. I’m perplexed as to be why it’s called The Economist.
To paraphrase Juthtin: “If he dies, we win”
How much Liberal Party shit will Toronto liberals eat?
Obviously a LOT!
Sorry, I don’t believe The Economist. The graph from the article worths a thousand words, PP’s is a bit over 40%, meaning that Libranos+NDP+BQ are at 58-59% which is a lot. BQ is always in PM’s pocket and Jagmeet will continue the prostitution.
I made the point about immigration a long time ago when the terminally stupid started yapping about global warming. Hey, no one listens and I no longer give a …. .
