This "Conservative" Premier Just INCREASED The Carbon Tax! - Pallister's "Made In Manitoba" Solution
In this video, I talk with author and economic analyst John Sneisen about the very concerning localized increase in the already absurd Federal carbon tax.
Justin Trudeau's Federal carbon tax charges $10/tonne on carbon, increasing to $50/tonne by 2022.
Well, for the time being, the so-called "Made In Manitoba Solution" pushed forward by Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister set to be implemented on September 1st actually charges MORE than the Federal government!
Carbon will be taxed $25/tonne, charging about 5.3 cents a litre, just under 7 cents a litre on diesel.
This will rake in $248 million a year, starting with $143 million this year.
The province intends to use part of the revenue to create a $102 million conservation trust that would protect natural areas and another $40 million on a "green fund" intended to mitigate "climate change."
In 2018 in total, Pallister plans to raise everyone's taxes $118 million. He claims that he will give income tax relief but people will still be paying more and when businesses pay more, there will be more unemployment and smaller businesses will have a harder time competing. Also, Pallister claims that he will drop the PST 1% by 2020. Wow... 1%... How helpful...
Meanwhile, it appears Pallister is only make the most unpopular cuts like hospital staff while growing the size and scope of government elsewhere.
It's also important to mention that the Manitoba carbon tax will be implemented on top of the GST and fuel tax already in place. This is extortion.
Of course Trudeau claimed during the election that he would not force provinces into the carbon tax, but of course he has and the provinces were given until the end of 2018 to make a decision.
Brad Wall and Brian Pallister seemed to be the only ones against the carbon tax, but we know better now. It just took more transfers from Ottawa for Manitoba to weakly fall into the agenda.
The province has gotten $350 million from Ottawa in transfers and Manitoba's debt will reach 25 billion dollars by the end of this fiscal year.
So it's time to call out Pallister as a wolf in sheep's clothing. The continuation of leftist, statist policy forcing us into the dark ages.
This should infuriate everyone. This benefits the United Nations. This benefits government via theft. This shoves individuals further into poverty and debt. This props up major monopolies while shoving small businesses out of the market. This agenda doesn't include the freedom of the individual, but simply the subservience of the masses and it must be stopped.
You would think that climate change would benefit Canada. Look at all of that lakefront property in Ontario and Manitoba.
this will push the reduction of carbon emision and help save the enverionment, the downside is that it will cost the taxpayer more money
Great post ,I like it.
Nicely done posting
The whole carbon dioxide thing is simplified and used as a means to manipulate the public. The numbers don't match. Believe it or not the planet is quite good at adapting to our destruction of it. (the oceans and the rainforest absorb so a lot of carbon) A bigger issue I feel is the acidification of the environment. Clearly we are not working with mother nature and there are clear issues of how we use or technology destructively. Science is just as corruptible as any other profession. "Hey you want that grant funding why don't you write a paper that works with our agenda." Sometimes it is that obvious other times it is just what people care about so they can get funding. There are great biases all the time. A great example of this are the vaccine studies paid for by the vaccine industry. For a more balanced look at what really affects climate check out space weather news on the youtube. The sun plays a big part... Anyway if I didn't say it before the government is always the worst "solution" to every problem. True education and personal responsibility is the way out of this.
You don’t need black gold ❗️If they would stop killing scientist and engineers who can prove to you that HYDROGEN is not only easy to make , but carbon free and you can NEVER RUN OUT❗️It is the most abundant element in the universe . Look up Stan Meyer . He dies after inventing his H2O converter ⁉️And if people were not so poorly educated then they would know that you don’t need fuel cells . This is just more JUNK SCIENCE by the establishment , because think about it . How much power they would loose if all we had to do is grab a garden hose to fill up your car ⁉️A scientist in IRAN discovered the same thing . The combustion engine is already built for it . Think about it , all you need is to put two electrodes into water = H2O a positive and a negative feed . And then you collect the hydrogen being produced off the top . THIS IS THE GREATEST DICEPTION❗️Bigger then the moon landings and JFK ❗️You already have a generator as part of your normal engine equipment . You already have spark plugs to deliver the electricity to ignite . You just need to not be killed by the establishment mercenaries in order to use it . There have been several attempts by MAINSTREAM SCIENTISTS to fool you into thinking you need a very expensive and complicated fuel cell . This is utterly ridiculous to ANY REAL SCIENTIST with a set of BALLS . Try it at home folks if you don’t believe me . But be very careful and only try it under working conditions such as a well ventilated area and a containment of the hydrogen . Take a smal cup . Take any battery or source of electricity . Get two wires coming out of it one for the positive and one for the negative,then get a cup full of water , and it doesn’t have to be special . Hell you could use tap water and it will be fine . Then put your electrodes in and collect the gases off the top and you have just made energy . You will know its working when you see bubbles like a clear soda drink , but they will be rising to the top . Hydrogen would make our cars run cleaner , more powerful and the exhaust is H2O . SHEEPLE really need to wake up . Your being taken for a ride . Sorry , I just had to . LOL 😆
