Not sure why you didn't link to the interview itself...

 

 

 

 

[Michael Hardner]

 Not really an interview as much as a couple of like minds discussing what they like. 

Get a load of the question journalist. Jordan asks at 34:05.  A. 90- second ramble about everything, culminating in the word Freedom... And followed by a reset as in...

" Now let's delve into what's happening in British Columbia..."

 

Now the full interview, as it's called anyway, is 1 hour 50 minutes. 

 

Now I see why you posted a 5-minute summary.

 

 

[Michael Hardner]

I did watch a section near the end where Peterson tries to get the conservative leader to pledge to teach that the Communist liberals are evil. 

 

Small minds I guess. Anyway, The leader is too smart to take the bait.

Cancel them both and throw them in jail for wrongspeak.

They do look like they are poised to win. Says a lot about the left that people are so sick of woke that Peterson and rustad look like far better choices to the average person   

The NDP really screwed up. Morgan was not a good leader but he knew better than to allow the economy to go completely off the rails and to buy into the woke overly much. 

Eby Thought he had a guaranteed win, so he let the budget get out of control and he did a lot of other things without consultation or warning that pissed a hell of a lot of people off and cost a lot of people who couldn't afford anything a lot of money that they don't have.

BC will tolerate a certain amount of work for limited periods of time as long as it doesn't go overboard, But Eby Went way too far way too fast without a mandate after basically being appointed and shoving the other possible candidate out of the way on a technicality. I think he's going to pay the price for that now

seconded.

In Rustad's hometown Sunday you couldn't see your car in the lot from the front door of Timmies through the fire smoke.
Do tell us how the bug kill and forest fires and droughts have nothing to do with climate change. And the only thing built there instead of shut down since you won that riding was the McDonalds next door.
Tell it to your neighbours that just got laid off from Canfor Plateau mill shutting down.
Axe the Hacks, not the Tax.

The ndp has been in power now for almost 10 years, and we've been paying our carbon tax for 16. 

The ndp's anti business practices are why no businesses got built 

It's hilarious that you think voting in the same people that are the cause of the problems you're mentioning and have been responsible for them for about a decade is somehow going to produce a different result and is a reason why we shouldn't have someone new

The NDP are the hacks. Axe the hacks AND the tax.  Vote CPBC

Tell us how much of an impact the carbon tax in Canada has on global climate charge?  I wager it's negligible.  Forest fires in Canada made worse by climate change are going to happen with or without a carbon tax in this country.  Whether it exists here or not is meaningless.

The big polluters like the US and China aren't on board with a carbon tax so its just virtue signaling at this point.  Instead of just taking it off our income taxes the Liberals send us a cheque for the carbon rebate to try to buy our votes.  They even got mad at the banks for not telling us what the payments were for when added to our accounts.  The Liberals are excellent at seeming to do something while actually doing nothing.  They have no substance.

They're on board with commited reductions though.  So it's a Carbon Tax or a Credits system.  Do you prefer the latter?

HA! THey absolutely are NOT!  China alone is increasing it's emissions by the ENTIRE AMOUNT Canada outputs every year and a half or so. 

So even if we stopped every single emission in canada entirely - a year and a half later it would mean nothing.

Oh FFS you think paying a carbon tax is supposed to stop f*cking forest fires and solve the whole world's problem in a couple years?
F*cking simple minded thinking. It's to slow you down from adding to the problem.

As simple minded as falling back on Gina China China.

Well here's a detailed explanation for my analogy of peeing in the pool.
There's only one atmosphere we all share. And your pitiful excuse is why should we stop peeing in the pool because the other guy didn't.

All the while completely disregarding the fact China is going green way faster than we are, because you simply don't want to believe it.

As for foxie's great insights on a place he's never even been to, they're not worth responding to. The guy doesn't even understand the elected MLA represents the riding, not the Premier or if you fail, it's your fault not someone else.

So now Rustad is proposing to eliminate stumpage fees and go to a system on taxing wood processing at a variable rate depending on the end product.
Which will most likely p1ss off US producers even more.

On top of 'fixing' health care by more privatization...

And I enjoy his lackeys calling radio hotlines claiming to be lifetime NDP'ers who are going to vote for him, now he's driven his party more to the right. Counting on the gullibility of the  'you can fool some people all of the time' crowd.

Love those salty tears   LOL 

He hasn't won yet, don't get so depressed.  The ndp GOTV teams are going to be much better and more experienced,  a tie will likely go to the ndp.

Not in BC. Only low income people get rebates. The BC carbon tax is just wealth redistribution and general revenue for the government.

the funny thing is is that dick said as much just a few months ago. He said he would never consider getting rid of the carbon tax because we couldn't afford to lose the revenue. I mean it's not like he hid it. And now he's ready to scrap it.  He's already running a serious deficit, wonder how he'll pay for that

Oh God! Wealth redistributioin how f*cking awful!

Next thing you know they'll make billionaires pay more taxes than welfare recipients!

Listen to a podcast between Rustad and Peterson or listen to a fart they're equal in value.

But a fart only needs one a$$hole....

It really is.  It destroys wealth rather than redistributes it in the end, and it's morally wrong. 

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation.

It's never worked anywhere. It always makes for lower productivity, lower markets and eventually lower quality of life. Under very specific circumstances in very small settings it can carry on for quite a while but eventually it always fails. I mean essentially it's how a family runs but once you scale it much bigger than that you run into problems
