ENVIRONMENTAL, CORRUPTION AND
OTHER RANKINGS
@Justintrudeau who is fed information by @telfordk and @GMbutts has little or no interest in developing the natural
resources sector. Trudeau has been on record saying "Canada should be known for its resourcefulness and not its Natural
Resources"

TAXING IN POLLUTION
@cathmckenna
Where has Mckenna discussed sewage being dumped?
Where has McKenna discussed the cruise ship/emissions?
Where has McKenna discussed the carbon tax on imports?
Where has Mckenna discussed the BC failures on Emissions?

13. zHOUSEHOLD COSTS / CARBON PRICINGHow so? The carbon tax would cost people an extra $1,100 to 1,800
through higher costs. The tax rebate would be lucky to cover 10% of
the cost. Liberals are lying as they normally do because they do not
consider the complete past through of the carbon to consumer goods,
household expenses, etc.

It is the liberals that are dishonest as they never released their carbon

including their carbon footprint?
Or Sewage being dumped

CARBON TAX AND PARIS
• Oil and Gas sector account for about 200 metric tons of emissions - https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/energy-
and-greenhouse-gas-emissions-ghgs/20063 . Trudeau needs a 15.2 metric ton elimination or that would
be like wiping out the oil and gas sector in 12 years.
• Higher carbon taxes to push more people off from driving - https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/mckenna-
denies-claim-carbon-tax-may-exceed-50-a-tonne-1.4565225
• Trudeau is not being truthful when it comes to how he will achieve the emissions targets

WE HAVE TO PAY THAT TAX AND THERE IS NO WAY TO PASS THAT ALONG
THROUGH OUR COMMODITY PRICES. WE’RE ON A WORLD MARKET AND
YOU CAN’T ADD TWO PER CENT ON THE PRICE OF YOUR WHEAT

ON FARMERS INCOME IN 2020.

WHAT CAN BE DONE?
• MORE EMPHASIS ON LAND, WATER AND FORESTRY MANAGEMENT
• BETTER URBAN PLANNING
• CANADA NEEDS ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENTS TO WORK TOGETHER TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATURAL
RESOURCES AS PART OF REDUCING THE DEPENDENCY FROM COUNTRIES LIKE RUSSIA, CHINA AND BRAZIL
• FORCING COUNTRIES TO CLEAN UP THEIR ENVIRONMENT (WTO)
• ADOPTING SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES (RECYCLING, WASTE MANAGEMENT, SCRUBBING, TAILING PONDS, ETC.)
• ADOPTING 3-D PRINTING (HOUSING)
• LOOK AT BETTER WAYS TO PRODUCE BUILDING MATERIALS (CEMENT, LUMBER, ETC.)
• MORE FOCUS ON COUNTRIES CLEANING UP THEIR ENVIRONMENT VIA WTO OR OTHER WORLD AGREEMENTS
