At the Glasgow confab, Justin unveiled a whole host of ideas for destroying an economy. When confronted with the obvious problem that some nations not fully committed to economic suicide might gain an advantage over those that are, Justin is proposing a special tax that he believes can somehow convince the recalcitrant few to put a gun to their own head as well.
[Trudeau’s] government has begun consultations exploring the idea of imposing “border carbon adjustments” to ensure a level playing field, where imported goods are subject to the same carbon costs as domestically produced goods.
Trudeau pointed to aluminum as an example of the problem, arguing that Canada has invested heavily in producing “some of the cleanest aluminum in the world” but is competing with cheaper aluminum produced elsewhere “in dirtier ways with significantly lower labour standards.”

Bet Xi Jinping pissed himself laughing.
Fortunately for most nations, they likely see the Spawn for what he is rather than as the harmless buffoon and in-crowd frat boy as his institutional and media-indoctrinated voters see him. Does the Spawn even have a clue about what his proposal would do to the cost of his beloved Chicom solar panels produced with coal-fired energy and slave labour? Gerry must have forgot to remind him that their plans need (fraudulently cheap) wind and solar as their (delusional) solution, otherwise someone might catch-on to what looks like a death march to pre-industrial subsistence.
Another day, yet another stupid, illiberal idea from Justine and his “Liberal” hacks. They want to be a dictatorship populated by willing slaves.
So……is this not what Alberta has suggested when it comes to importing oil?
Exactly. I for once agree with Justin Trudeau.

No Shit, Sherlock.
In Canada’s energy-starved future there will be no aluminum produced. The approach he suggests will simply guarantee that goods manufactured in Canada are not competitive in the world market. Enjoy your recession; should be a long one.
Who is feeding Turdoo this shit… You know he ain’t coming up with this stuff himself. His part time, middle school drama teacher and part time snow board instructor background didn’t cover much on these Aluminum pollution problems … so who is the real PM?
Aluminum. What an interesting example to use.

Do aluminum vaccine adjuvants contribute to the rising prevalence of autism?
This is actually a good thing if it is only what he says it is.
If conservatives don`t know what a lie free trade is despite the recent proofs against it, they may never know.
Two issues:
1. Makes exporting much harder
2. Makes everything we have to import more expensive
But if you just want to sit at the border collecting taxes…
Not just want to sit and collect taxes, also wants to destroy the economy.
His next trick should be letting LGB shut down Line 5 and blame it on the old Commander in Poppy Pants.
Then he can tell us he tried but he has a party he needs to jet off to.
Go meet his Masters for further instructions.
That should do the trick.
He’ll do anything to get a seat at the UN big kids table.
This is what calling CO2 pollution gets you.
The power to ration, control, outlaw – hell pretty much whatever they choose – energy.
All energy or byproduct thereof will be controlled by the ruling elites.
Carbon is just the start.

Juthtin doesn’t know what his lines mean, he only memorizes them and pretends to know what they mean.
If you want to shut Trudeau up, take out the Canadian Banking Industry.
In today’s world of global business, Canadian Banking is fighting it out against all global banking competitors. As such, they operate the same as any global actor. Trudeau carries their global message for market share. Canadian Banks are the same as any multinational bank. The values/voices of Canadians are small in comparison to their hoped for market share on global markets. If they were to disappear, Canada would not be harmed in any way.
That said, Canadians should shut down Canadian Banking to address Canada’s many environmental sins. Banks from the United States and Britain can easily fill the void left by Canadian Banks.
Everyone would feel better and the world would be a better place. That said, nothing would change.
The fun fact.
Once he’s done shutting down the economy the banks in Canada won’t have any investors left to borrow from them.
Zero economic activity means zero taxes collected.
The part the sock monkey doesn’t want to acknowledge (or just doesn’t want to believe) is that the rest of the world can see this in real time and are just waiting for the fire sale.
I’m going with obtuse when he lets loose the verbal fart about clean aluminum but won’t admit that the oil sands is the cleanest oil product in the world, they are cleaning up the largest oil spill on the planet.
When the crash happens it would be poetic justice that the disintegration of the country take place under his watch.
No word salad could be used as plausible denial by his supporters that he had no idea this would happen.
When the crash happens it is ESSENTIAL that it happens under his watch! Down the road when Trudeau hands him the reins, O’Toole’s status as the fall-guy would be ensured.
There are 10 aluminum mines in Canada. One in BC and 9 in Quebec. Anyone surprised by this oh so predictable favoritism? JT is all in for Quebec and only sees the ROC as support system for his homeland. Fuck this guy.
Bauxite.
Bingo!
The Real Estate Boom.
Liberal nirvana is expensive, has no lights because the power bill has not been paid, and all the windows are broken. It is going to be a long, cold and deadly winter of woke, green enlightenment.
Aluminum smelting requires a lot of electricity, and nearby tidewater. It also requires fluorite in the purification.
