Some Canadian Politicians love the carbon taxes. They don't realize they are attacking the middle class. They claim that is it is not a form of toxic taxation but it really is. This article was written into Canada's Financial post newspaper. It is an opinion piece but it strikes the truth.
For those who hate President Trump, you can at least thank him for not jumping onto the fake science bandwagon and Kyoto Accords.
Within the USA, only California was stupid enough to form their own carbon tax and cap-and-trade system. I already hear about people from Texas noticing that there's an influx of Californians leaving the state because California is way too expensive and this is going to only make matters worse.
My December natural gas bill of $155 had a $19 carbon tax on it. This house was built in the 1950s so the government's going to be really taxing the hell out of me during the winter time.
My gasoline carbon taxes already are at $0.25 a gallon and it'll be up to $0.44 a gallon by 2022. Canada and California along with the other Kyoto Accord signatories have jumped off the fake signatories have jumped on the carbon tax bandwagon.
We are in between ice ages. Global warming will continue even if we stopped using everything. Do you remember the TV series on cable Life After People? If we all vanished tomorrow, the Earth's temperature rise would still continue but it would only go down to tense of 1 degrees Centigrade because of so much heat storage in the oceans. Renowned scientists and now called a heretic by the scientific Community ,Dr. Judith Curry, has stated that the climate change and global warning models don't add up. The temperature rise is not caused by a man and it's not because of our CO2. It's just because the Earth is in between ice ages. The scientific community has run Dr. Judith Curry out of the climate change science community because she disagrees with them. Today's scientists do not respect minority opinions. When you hear the term 97% of scientists agree that is because the other 3% who disagree are fired! Today's climate science is more like climate communism and countries like Canada and States like California have bought into this lie. Ironically, the rest of the states are going to do better with the exception of California because Canada and the European Union are going to price themselves out of the market and hurt themselves the same time.

I meant to build a reservoir for clean electric energy to power those electric cars. They forgot one thing, what about the hazardous material of all those old batteries?

Sometime in the late 1990's or early 2000's, California messed around with partial deregulation of electrical power. IIRC, they deregulated the supply side but not the retail side, and electric companies started getting into financial trouble. The ran into power supply issues and started having rolling brown-outs, earning then Governor Grey Davis the nickname Grey-out Davis (it was his recall election that ushered in Ahnold Schwarzenegger as Governor of California). In a panic, they got power from Texas (Enron), and they did it in the way that resulted in them paying as much as they possibly could for it. During this energy crisis, California made the decision to "fast-track" the construction of new electrical power plants. (AFAIK, to date, no new power plants have been built, though they have put in a bunch of windmills and solar farms.)
Of course, this put a large financial strain on the state. Not wanting to accept any responsibility for any of their decisions, they blamed Texas for their own electrical shortage. While all this is amusing to me, your posts reminded me of something else, and I had to give you the back story for it to be relevant.
While all of this either was going on or in the immediate rear-view, California passed a measure that required auto sales to eventually consist of at least 10% electric car sales, which of course recharge their batteries by plugging into the electric power grid. My first thought upon hearing this was, "Do these people have any clue where electric cars get their power from?" They're in the middle of (or recovering from) not even being able to power everyone's air conditioning without rolling brown-outs, and they want to increase the load on their power grid by converting a significant percentage of their traffic to electric?!? Such is the reasoning capacity of ecofreak liberals.

LMAO. Right on target... except so so so much more bland.
Sorry Steve, gotta call em like I see em.
Canada is a great example of one main tenet of socialism.
First you destroy the family unit then you destroy religion.
I am shocked when I go to Canada and see so few Church’s.
Even the big old ones in the larger towns are often pretty much shuttered up.
Look like old haunted mansions..
Not too cool. LTC (Join to see)
