Nationalize all core extraction industries. Use the profits for ecolgical reclamation and investment in ecological technologies. Localize our economies by creating EcoTrade not "Free" Trade (FreeTrade = social and evironmental exploitation trade). These are our resources and they are being stolen from us by the corproate elite aristocracy. Its time to take back what is ours. WORKERS OF THE PLANET, UNITE!!
Carbo tax is a tax on life. This is a farce. this is not only about money and resources but about control of people, and also a world population reduction program that H Kissinger penned in 1973..(along with many others) See Club of Rome " The First Global Revolution" ca. 1993...how it was "decided" that Mankind would be named the enemy of the planet. This is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated in the history of the world. criminals like Gore, ought to be arrested for swindle/racketeering!!
If you acutally look at what they plan to tax, you will notice that our agricultural industries are fucked, They want to tax farmers for there livestock farting... WTF most farmers would rather kill their animals then have to pay a HUGE tax on them. Also there are plans to tax people breathing, and people having children. Is this what you want as a future? I dont, The people who will benefit from this are not US, it is the people who own the banks that will,
@000JustAPerson True! And to make it more corrupt, they won't allow a carbon tax credit to farmers for growing crops, which absorbs CO2!
In one year Mount Pinatubo spewed more CO2 than mankind has since the invention of fire. The net result was more plant life, as the carbon cycle found its balance, as usual.
I do NOT respect politicians' decision to tax the average citizen's "responsiblility" to RAise funds for a so-called government decision to raise taxes. Accountabilty means they should explain clearly using FACTS and FIGURES!
fuck the carbon tax! Put ME in jail because i produce "carbon" by just breathing!
Lord David de Rothschild was THE organizer of "Earth Live" event to promote global warming "awareness" of their WMD-like manufactured threat....
Those companies instead of paying Carbon Tax in Canada,they will just shut down their factories and move to India and China, where they have ZERO environmental laws!
This isn't about loving Mother Earth, but destroying industrial base and levying taxes from the people to World Bank, IMO, and IMF that robbed 3rd world dry, and now robbing the West.
I agree with VvredknightvV. This poll looks really shady. Most Canadians do not favor programs that would put them out of business for good. I have serious doubts about this poll from CBC. The majority of Canadians are against pollution; I mean we all want what's best for our families and the future generations but going ahead with the liberal program would absolutely cripple our economy. The solution is not with the liberals or the NDP.
hey people!!!wake up. Remeber the liberal gun registry program????? well..the carbon tax thing is the same therefore it shall be called the liberal carbon registry!!! good luck everybody!!
This poll is a lie, absolutely not true. Carbon tax doesn't take money from big industry, those costs are passed on to us, the consumers. Greenshift and carbon tax will not help the environment AT ALL. The only green thing that will shift is your free dollars into govt. coffers. It will cost more for everything and it will make our struggling exports even less competitive. A vote for carbon tax is a vote for recession.
This plan is sensible because it couples environmental sustainability and responsibility with economic prosperity. It puts a price on carbon (discouraging industry) in a progressive manner, and encourages investment and innovation with tax cuts (corporate/business and income taxes).
No TheosQube.NOT supporting the Carbon TAX is NOT selling out our environment
Carbon Tax cannot be great because it will INCREASE the COSTS of producing EVERYTHING.
Most products (if not all products) must be shipped, flown, or driven to their locations this Carbon Tax will affect costs and companies will pass this on the the consumers by Charging more.
Increase the cost of producing everything? Its like you got that from Mr Harper. The truth is,yes it will affect the cost of many products but this is a world market the costs cannot skyrocket. Further, the tax is phased in progressively which means that companies will have the opportunity to change their ways before they have to fork out large amounts of cash.The avg Canadian will have more disposable income to work with because of tax cuts and credits and can use that for green products.
First of all, I am not seeking income avg. Im talking about the "avg" Canadian, middle class Canadian...
Little by little the costs will rise,sure they may,but there will be companies who cut their costs via investing in long term energy saving and environmental responsibility (many already have)and they will have lower prices and the market will adjust itself accordingly.
Companies will have more money to start with in which to make these long term investments...
Further, the tax cuts and credits are focused on lower/middle income earners not the upper tier of the tax brackets. These are the "avg" Canadians I speak of.
You need to use your head. Anyone that believes we will have MORE disposable income is unbelievably naive. YOU will be paying this carbon tax from YOUR existing disposable income. Furthermore, Canadian exports will be even less competitive. Is that what you want?
Will the price of goods go up because of higher costs to the producer?Yes,but companies who are able to cut their pollution with the extra capital they have from the tax cuts will pay less carbon taxes and in turn will incur less costs to pass to the consumer.Others in the industry will have to follow suit to compete.
Im not naive Im using the facts,remember disposable income is what you have to spend after you remove income taxes from the equation.So if you cut income taxes you will have more disposable income.
You are not using facts. You are using Liberal propaganda. Just the fact that you haven't done any research and resort to regurgitating everything the Liberal platform says without analyzing their bias shows me you're totally brainless.
BTW, where's the policy debate you promised? Did you shirk because you really have stuff to do, or did you shirk because you're afraid? Just like the cowards Dion and dIggy, who threaten to pull the trigger but could never do it.
The Dion's carbon tax will plunge Canada into an economic abyss.Poluting industries will simply close down and leave Canada to set up shop in places like China,Russia,India,Turkey and Mexico.These countries will gladly welcome poluters and reap trillions of dollars in benefits.These contries can polute all they want and answer to no one. So Dion's effort to save the earth will have no impact on the environment but will cost Canadians 4 million jobs! It is my duty to stop Dion's plan.
Canada exports and heavy polluters are mainly based on natural resources, so unless companies have figured out how to dig for Alberta tar sand in Russia, B.C lumber in China, and Ontario minerals in India they won't be going anywhere.
It may cost jobs in the short term but highly regarded economists, Bill Clinton and others have all admitted and agreed that alternative energy development, a strategy that will be used along with the carbon tax will increase jobs long term.
This is not Dion's carbon tax it is a copy of carbon taxes in Europe, which were developed by economists and environmentalists. They are very effective and have not had the negative impact you are claiming.
I am not sure where you get this 4 million jobs number?
Silly, I would claim it is his platform as well as that of the greens. It does not matter a hoot how the idea surfaced. It matters ifv the ingformation is correct and WE START DOING SOMEYTING NOW.
lol I love how my tax dollars pay for the CBC and this Liberal linguistic diarrhea.

"The truth is, yes it will affect the cost of many products...but costs cannot skyrocket."
Little by little my friend...little by little...they will take away from your hard labor.
Companies indeed will have the "OPPORTUNITY"...would it cost more money to change? or cost more money to simply just increase the price?
One person makes $10mill
Nine make $10k
The AVE income is $1mill
I believe AVE not the correct statistic to use. A better statistic would be "mode" or "median".
