The document discusses Canada's failure to meet climate change targets and reduce emissions. It provides background on the author and an agenda of topics to cover, including Canada's emissions by year, the mining sector's environmental record, court rulings on carbon taxes, taxes on pollution, and the costs of carbon taxes. It argues that a carbon tax will hurt low-income Canadians the most and questions Canada's plan to achieve zero emissions. Overall solutions proposed include improving land, water and forestry management.

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 PRICING
How 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.

pollution-canada-april-2019
It is the liberals that are dishonest as they never released
their carbon pricing economic impact, why?

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

COST OF LIVING
• A CARBON TAX IS REGRESSIVE TAX WHICH HURT THE LOW TO MIDDLE CLASS MORE IN TERMS COSTS
• CARBON TAXES ARE PASS ALONG THE SUPPLY CHAIN INCLUDING HOUSING, FOOD, ETC

WE HAVE TO PAY THAT TAX AND THERE IS NO WAY TO PASS THAT ALONG

YOU CAN’T ADD TWO PER CENT ON THE PRICE OF YOUR WHEAT

HOWEVER, IT ISN’T CLEAR HOW THE PRICE OF OIL WILL PLAY A FACTOR
ON FARMERS INCOME IN 2020.
