Don't Canadians see that when Carney suspended the carbon tax, he simply substituted tariffs. Seems obvious to me. Both are oppressive, job eliminating taxes.
There's a point at which total taxation gets to where it no longer provides value to the economy and stifles productivity, and I think Canada's past that, but the governments have thrown away so much money and accumulated so much debt that getting back to lower taxes is not going to be easy.
And, as for being revenue neutral the carbon tax never was due to the hidden costs and the additional personnel involved in collecting and enforcing it. Forgotten also, is the GST charged on the total price including the carbon tax.
Also, carbon taxes do not affect people evenly because some low wage earners, especially rural people where wages are lower and travel to work is necessarily farther, are in a situation that necessarily requires more use of fuels.
Some or even many of those people are essential to a smooth running economy and they were penalized heavily and the rebate came nowhere near compensating.
New report denounces Havana and claims ‘campaign of subversion’ has infiltrated highest levels of US government
"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”
The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.
The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...
Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.
Canada’s economy is stalling badly.
We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.
Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.
And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.
Why does GDP matter?
Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.
The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.
The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:
Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
