The collection of a Carbon Tax is really a redistribution of wealth and does nothing to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide created. In fact, the plants and trees love the CO2.
The Carbon Tax only increases our Cost of Living, and reduces our ability to compete with other nations.
We endure temperature extremes ranging from -40C or colder to 35C or warmer. Out of necessity we need to heat our homes for 6+ months of the year. We face major transportation challenges simply because of the geography of our country. Yet, through all this we are responsible for less than 0.5% of the pollution generated globally.
We ARE NOT the problem! If every one of us here in Canada chose to sacrifice ourselves for the betterment of mother earth and self-terminated, the positive effect on the global environment would be ... drum roll please ... zero!
