Is it was a tax grab, then why provide a rebate?

There are plenty of solutions to reduce reliance on carbon. Some, like you, just refuse to use any of said solutions. Many grocery stores don't offer free plastic bags, most actually don't offer them at all anymore. I would like to see plastic water bottles be subject to some kind of recycling or disposal surcharge like with see with Liqour bottles or tires. Would you? I also believe Natural Gas is subject to the Carbon Tax. I guess electricity isn't because in many cases the electricity is derived from emission free sources.

Change happens through elections. The current government and the party that's propping up their minority are very clear about their support for putting a price on Carbon emissions.

So I guess you oppose the idea of an Excise tax too. If you're not aware, the HST or GST is tacked onto the Carbon tax, as with all Excise and Gas Taxes. I'm sure that makes you even more insane.

It's an incentive to use less fossil fuels. I guess if you don't even agree that reducing our reliance on fossil fuels is a good then then this must seem like an a front to freedom. But the other purpose of the carbon tax is to put a price on harmful emissions. It shouldn't be free to pollute.

It's more likely JT tries to call a snap election because he thinks he can beat PP now. The Stockwell Day treatment.

Again the real price increase comes from the Oil Companies and your buddy Putin causing instability in the market. Also, those poor people get a pretty good Tax rebate along with the Carbon Tax.

Gas Ovens are soooo much cheaper. https://www.canadianappliance.ca/product/Frigidaire_FFGH3054US_Range_Frigidaire_FFGH3054US.html?feed=7ee235&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=1615884697&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=g&cq_plt=gp&gclid=CjwKCAiA2fmdBhBpEiwA4CcHzYAHUZmeiAVJxILzPuEmD7JIfYwL1JK2DqbA_2cyJVTA9rb9wvYfuxoCgDMQAvD_BwE

Sorry, people use Gas Ovens for heat now?

Awww muffin. I guess the 11 cents is a bit much for your budget. Guess you'll need to get PP elected whenever JT calls another election.

The Federal Government that instituted the Carbon Taxes has been elected 3 times. So you're a bit on an island with your sickening rhetoric.

When the first idea of a Carbon tax was proposed for the 2008 Federal election, prices were only a little less than what they are now. In the world of inflation, the price of gas is something that hasn't actually gone up all that much. The increases we're seeing right now, aren't because of taxes, they're because of instability caused by Nationalist's friend Putin.

So why aren't you outraged at the profit margin of the oil companies? I knew the price of gas was on an exponential rise, government intervention or not. So I purchased an EV.

If these metals are so precious and rare, why wouldn't they be recycled and re-used? You have people going through recycling every week trying to take the glass and metal we throw away. We actually recycle things like glass, cardboard and metals rather well. It's the worthless plastic that we don't do a good job recycling because it's worthless.

It's amusing that you all fret about 11 cents on the litre of Gas when the Oil companies are taking in profit hand-over-fist driving up the price of gas. If the price of gas dropped 11 cents tomorrow, the price would still be much higher than it has in the past 5 years.

Well you're not bringing anything new to the debate. You fein concern about the environmental costs of Battery tech yet are perfectly happy driving the absurdly inefficient ICE vehicle until the end of time.

See now that JT is going to do it, it's OK. ?

This is the mentality. The same people who decry Lithium mining are the ones begging the Federal government to continue to invest in the Tar Sands. At least with Battery Development it lessens our reliance on the whole practice of refining, transporting and distributing gasoline.

God, you're really late to these tired talking points. Who's throwing valuable EV batteries into a Landfill without harvesting the valuable metals you decry. Do you just throw your electric waste in the garbage? Can you even buy CFL's now? LEDs are a far superior technology.

I will continue to say that EVs aren't for everyone. If you own a Condo or live in an apartment where you can't charge overnight. EV penetration hasn't reached you yet. Ditto with people who's office is a work truck. It's not there yet. But could be. You could get a PHEV though. It's funny how you worry about the electricity a municipality is spending having a free public Stage 2 charger in a public tourist attraction as if you're paying for it. No, the municipality is offering it as an incentive to go to a said tourist attraction. As for Fast-Chargers, I've owned an EV for 2 years and I've used one a grand total of 3 times. Once just to test how it worked. They're mostly for Road Trips and Emergencies. And I've never seen one that's free. If you can charge at home and mostly use your care to commute a reliable distance. I don't see how an ICE can beat an EV.

So you'd rather be a slave to gas stations, as opposed to being able to charge your car at home every night and have a full charge every morning. But, maybe, have to wait a half hour for a charge for long distance travel. Which you'll probably be stopping for coffee and a bathroom break anyway. Old habits are hard to break, I suppose.

So the goal is pure anarchy? Paralyze the political system. For perspective sake there are 20 of 400+ members holding up the entire process. That is not representative of America. It's a small fringe that's holding the rest hostage. And who will be hurt by all this. It's the GOP members from swing districts that won by narrow margins. Lauren Boebert could be considered amongst them. No way she wins another General election after this.

I was wrong. He's still being stonewalled. No end in sight. These 20 Congressmen basically want the power to shut down the government if they don't get their way. This tactic will actually move Congress to the Left as, whoever gets elected speaker, will need Dem support to get most things passed.

You can't even remember what you said. LOL

No you won't defend your initial claim.
