Provinces say they went into the process with an understanding that different provinces would be allowed mechanisms of their own choosing: a carbon tax in B.C. or Alberta, for example, but a cap-and-trade scheme in Ontario and Quebec, or other proven ways to regulate elsewhere.
“This is a concern. Because if that’s to be a legitimate process, where the premiers and the federal government work through some of these questions, why then is the prime minister and his… environment minister seemingly precluding the work of the committee?”
[…]
Wall went a step farther in an interview later Thursday with CBC News Network’s Power & Politics, saying he has already instructed provincial government lawyers to begin preparing for a constitutional challenge in the event the federal government acts unilaterally.
He suggested the case would be waged on the grounds that governments don’t tax other governments.
A spokesman for Trudeau said he was unable to attend the premiers’ meeting because of a scheduling conflict. Trudeau was in Ottawa to announce the name of the athlete who will be Canada’s flagbearer at the upcoming Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
They don’t care about emissions. They just need the money.
Here’s one reason why it’s “necessary’ in Alberta:

Red Rachel’s government union buddies demand payment for their support.
We need a special Hot Air Tax to be paid by Al Gore David Suzuki the various eco-minded hollywood idiots and the eco-freak groups themselves
For the sake of Canada’s future, we must build the “Wall” to be our next Prime Minister.
There are companies lining up to “support” a carbon tax. Boycott them. Start with Canadian Tire and Telus. And let them know you’re doing it.
One minor quibble. You wrote “they need the money”. This is what they want you to believe. In fact the worst thing the average Canadian can do is give the government more money. We need to give our governments a very drastic finacial hair cut a la Telly Savalas.
The true vodoo science behind Global Warming is “counting Coal Cars”. Any idiot can do that, but none can answer WHY they are counting Coal cars, or how many Coal cars make a fairy fart
So Jr has more pressing business appointing a flag bearer for thee Olympics? He doesn’t have a Sports Minister to fill in? Unlikely.
This after years of Liberal complaining that PMSH never called, or attended these Provincial gab fests.Seems Jr doesn’t see the merit in them either, Besides a chance to do a selfie with an Olympian, can’t pass that up.
The chicken turd has signaled in the past few weeks he intends to impose a carbon tax if
there was no consensus,yet had no balls to show up as he knew there would be no consensus.
The carbon scheme is nothing but a tax grab,wealth redistribution and an offering to the UN.
Canada continue it’s death spiral into a Marxist 3rd world hellhole.

Last I checked resources were still owned by the provinces. Wealth redistribution? In my lifetime that has always meant western Canada money flowing east with little coming back. Since that wealth is resource based I call it theft.
Carbon taxing is just another tool for easterners to steal from the west. No matter how you dress it up it is piggies to the trough.
Carbon taxes are wars on the poor. Prices will go up because production costs have to be recouped somehow.
And that’s if someone buys the rubbish that carbon is a pollutant.
I have no idea why people don’t get this.
“There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime.”
“There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime.”
Would be very happy with such a sensible PM as Wall but do you really think ALL of Canada thinks so? He would be voted soundly in out West but soundly dumped east of the Manitoba border.
Awful situation when that is the situation here in our glorious country.
Let me guess … the Canada flag bearer will be an ex-con, paraplegic, First Nations, gay transgender who famously RAN from the RCMP’s for 30years following a parole violation for murdering a family of 4 white people ?
All the ex-NHL players were busy, and would only represent the $$$ in sport … not the spirit of “amateur” Olympic sport.
The Prime Minister and his environment Minister have little flexibility, as they are simply taking orders from their UN masters. I suspect that the `scheduling conflict`was primarily because Trudeau did not want to attend. When things get acrimonious, he is a weak player. They need to protect his image from controversy.
Not only should they get the automatic price increases with a carbon tax, they seem not to get that nothing, NOTHING Canada can do will have any impact whatsoever on the environment. The whole thing is just too much like Gulliver`s Travels.
Not east of Man-Ont border. wall would appeal to many Ont outside of Toronto and other major urban enclaves. Look at a seat map of the last election and see a sea of blue for rural Ont, with pockets of red in the cities. The map is misleading because GTA is such a small geographical area, but densely populated.
Didn’t Justin the Femme criticize the evil Harper for missing Federal/Provincial meetings? What does selecting an Olympic flag bearer have to do with the office of Prime Minister other than absolutely nothing?
The U.K. House of Lords was recently debating the implementation of their proposed 5th carbon budget. Matt Ridley, climate change lukewarmer, makes an important point:
“Secondly, how much would this extra 17% cut in the fifth carbon budget reduce global temperatures, if it could be achieved? The UK produces 1.1% of world CO2 emissions. Reducing those by an extra 17% would reduce global emissions by 0.15%. The total warming expected by 2090 is between 0.8 and 2 degrees centigrade, depending on whether you choose the RCP 4.5 or the RCP 6 emission scenario and whether you choose the Lewis or the CMIP model sensitivity. So our unilateral action would reduce global warming by 2090 by between 0.001 and 0.003 degree centigrade.”
That last sentence needs to be emphasized…. “So our unilateral action would reduce global warming by 2090 by between 0.001 and 0.003 degree centigrade.” Would Canada’s numbers be much different. Increased fuel poverty, regional tensions, job losses,etc. for an embarrassingly small benefit. That’s why activists, politicians and economists will never give you the degrees centigrade number, there’s no defence for causing large economic pain for basically zero gain.
Exactly. These people are clueless — well, some of them know that this is about collecting a new tax which will help promote the globalist agenda, so they are pushing this deliberately — but most Canadians who support this are simply clueless.
but densely populated.
Pun intended?
I hope Trudeau gets a plum job at the United Nations or World Bank after his term as Prime Minister. It would suck if we went through all this heartache for nothing.
Trigger warning!
This kid will be voting in 8 years. Or sooner, if Junior has his way:

The Dauphin of New France is pissed and petulant because he wasn’t invited. It’s a conference of provincial and territorial Premiers, he’s not qualified to attend.
all they want to do is f–k Canadians. not one of these bastards give a damn about Canadians they are parasites on a host.
Bingo.
Assuming reducing carbon emissions really does work, any cut will be minimal for the largest losses.
Canadians produce about 2% of the world’s human caused GHGs. Most of the GHGs in Canada come from the big cities and the power plants which make electricity for them. Toronto for example emits 22Mt GHGs annually, include the GTA and the GHGs exceed the oilsands 35Mt GHGs annually, and that’s just one city. About One Tenth of one percent [0.1%] of the worlds GHGs comes from the Canadian oilsands industry.
The Canadian boreal forest absorbs all the GHGs Canadians produce and a lot more from the rest of the world. The more CO2 there is in the boreal forest, the faster it grows.
China produces about 28% of the world’s human caused GHGs, most of those GHGs are also mixed with toxic pollution from burning coal in power plants and factories. America produces about 18% of the world’s human caused GHGs, about half of those GHGs are also mixed with toxic pollution from coal burning power plants.
If making the smallest “Eco-footprint” with your energy/pollution choices is your “thing” then DON’T buy anything from China, and very little from America.
Those who can grasp the big picture will realize that buying fuel made from Canadian petroleum has less negative impact than a whole lot of other options including cheap PV panels and wind turbines made at factories in China which dump toxic pollution onto the land and into the air and water.
This is just one component of the global warming scam. If people were serious about stopping pollution, China would be fined up to the shark gills. It is not.
Exactly!! If people were serious about stopping pollution, they would be taxing imports from China and purchasing all government materials from cleaner Canadian industry. Some of the worst hypocrisy of the green-lieberals is their vilifying Canadian oil and encouraging the purchase of wind and solar from China, because it’s cheaper, but ignoring that it’s much dirtier than Canadian oil.
One of the MSM articles I read seriously asked at the end for comments, “Do you want a carbon tax?”
Hmm, they didn’t list any choices, perhaps a poke in the eye with a sharp stick?, maybe water boarding? How about a lobotomy then perhaps it would all make sense.
Pray for a Trump victory, the once free world hangs on this.
“They don’t care about emissions. They just need the money.”
No Kate they don’t need the money, they want the money!
“For the sake of Canada’s future, we must build the “Wall” to be our next Prime Minister.”
No. The only way is to start promoting SASKEXIT to escape this lunacy.
