Canada is raising the carbon tax is about 400% the next 5 years.
It is a tax and spend scam.
Liberal and Democrat 'Climate Emergency' zealots from the American and the Canadian left think they are making a difference. All it does is give money his taxes spend bureaucrats who waste the money. They claim they give you some reimbursement but it's overall a cash cow.
California already has it and knowing how desperate the brokeback Biden Administration is for generating cash at the expense of the economy, you know this is being pushed forth as we speak.
I am the retired LTC living in Canada and a Canary in the coal mine warning you who want to listen at Rally Point to not let your Progressive legislators in the USA tax you more than they already are. They know damn well you're not going to drive less. They also fail or choose not to realize how much fossil fuels are used in food production and how it's overall and inflationary mistake to tax the hell out of you for stupid carbon taxes. Remember, years ago, Democrats wanted to put a sugar tax on your soft drinks because of kids getting fat but those same idiots are now saying that if you refer to them as being fat and talk about their body mass index, you must be racist lol!
As you can see with california, they had carbon taxes, the oxygenate the fuel and it gets less horsepower and they pay much more than the other 49 states for what? Look how California is destroying Itself by not allowing big rigs before a certain year to be allowed inside the state of California because they don't hit the Draconian standards for low emissions. Just a word of warning. I guess it's no accident that a million California's have left the states and many more are going to follow suit as well as leaving New York and others because they claim they're not going to get rid of your natural gas but there's they're going to do everything they can to do so by changing regulations. I bet you those same Democrats are going to have exemptions for their buddies and they will have gas stoves when nobody else does.
Animal Farm tax and spend Democrats in the USA and liberals in Canada.
My province has raised the price of fuel of almost a dollar a gallon since the carbon taxes were imposed. A couple of provinces tried to fight the federal government but the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trudeau Administration. Alberta and Saskatchewan are the Texan Oklahoma of oil yet our brokeback President Biden prefers to buy oil from Venezuela instead of buying it from Canada. We do have trade by sending it by Railcar but the zealots prevented the Keystone XL pipeline with the help of President broke back Biden on his first day of office by canceling the project. Another example of self-inflicted injury by Democrats who don't believe in the economy and they don't believe in the balance of trade by keeping the money in North America and reducing the deficit. Another example of piss-poor policies by this brokeback Administration.
By the way, in spite of the Trudeau problems, Trudeau has approved a natural gas export terminal in British Columbia so while President Biden pretends to do all he can to mitigate energy problems, he chooses not to prove liquid natural gas export terminals on the east coast of the usa. This is done on purpose!
By the way, the climate change fanatics controlling the US government don't care about indigenous people while Canada actually is hiring or people involved in the liquid natural gas pipeline and export in British Columbia are predominantly Canadian indians. The US government propaganda machine will often report that is Indians that are against pipelines when there are also just as many Indians that are involved with building the pipeline themselves because they want the royalties on their land so I guess it just depends who you talk to. So the media will say oh the Avengers people are against the project, check the story because you may find out that some of these interest groups who are for the pipeline or The Terminal are actually American and Canadian Indians but it goes against the narrative that the left and the corrupt leftist Biden administration of trying to push to you in the mainstream media.

Thank you my friend and brother-in-Christ LTC (Join to see) for posting the perspective from Torontosun.com commentary author Franko Terrazono [who is federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation]that Canadians paying price for Trudeau’s carbon-tax failure.
Wild Fires, BoC Interest Rates, Budget Delay, By-Election - This Week in Canada w/ Marty Up North
Chinese Interference, Not so Public inquiry, Interest rate hike from the Bank of Canada, the budget delay, Forest Fires, Climate Change, and the Portage-Lisgar By-Election. Marty Up North joins me to give an overview of all these topics. An up to date look at what's happening in Canada.

Background from the link you posted {[torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/terrazzano-canadians-paying-price-for-trudeaus-carbon-tax-failure]}
If at first you don’t succeed — try, try again
That’s a good motto if you want to start a business or make the high school basketball team. But when one tax is doomed to fail, it doesn’t mean the government should try another.
“My competitors to the south of me in the United States do not pay that (carbon) tax, so now my cost goes up and I have no alternative,” Barlow said. “By penalizing me there’s nothing else that I can do, but just be penalized.”
Here’s the first insight we can take from Barlow:
Fuelling up a car with gas, heating homes and businesses with natural gas, drying grain with propane or filling up the big rig with diesel, are necessities for countless Canadians. Instead of escaping the punishment of the carbon tax, many Canadians are forced to cut back elsewhere, like socking less money away for their kid’s university education.
The second insight is that many other countries don’t have a carbon tax.
More than three-quarters of countries don’t have a national carbon tax, according to the World Bank.
The United States, Russia and India account for a quarter of global emissions. None of those countries have a national carbon tax. Good luck selling a carbon tax to Texans.
Canada only accounts for 1.5% of global emissions.
Canada’s share of global emissions is expected to drop because of the “rapid increase in emissions from economically developing and emerging countries, particularly China (+71.7% from 2005 to 2019), India (+71.3%), Brazil (+16.2%) and Indonesia (+37.9%),” according to the government of Canada.
Canadians paying more to fill up their grocery carts or minivans won’t reduce emissions in China.
Or as the Parliamentary Budget Officer put it: “Canada’s own emissions are not large enough to materially impact climate change.”
The carbon tax doesn’t cut emissions. It cuts family budgets.
The carbon tax will cost the average family up to $710 this year even after the rebates, according to the PBO.
Despite the carbon tax’s environmental failings and inflation reaching a 40-year high last year, Trudeau is moving forward with a second carbon tax on July 1.
The second carbon tax is included within fuel regulations and requires producers to reduce the carbon content of their fuels or be forced to purchase credits. The PBO estimates the second carbon tax will increase the price of gas by up to 17¢ per litre by 2030 and cost the average family up to $1,157.
The government’s own analysis shows the second carbon tax will “disproportionately impact lower and middle-income households,” including “single mothers” and “seniors living on fixed incomes.”
There are no rebates with the second carbon tax. And it’s being added on top of the current tax so that by 2030, Trudeau’s two carbon taxes will cost the average family more than $2,000 annually.
No matter how many carbon taxes Trudeau makes Canadians pay, higher gas prices in Canada won’t solve climate change.
It’s time for the feds to recognize reality and stop making life more expensive.

LTC (Join to see) This definition says it all about the climate idiots. You're right, carbon taxes are just another way for the government to collect more money that they will waste on more stupid worthless projects.

We also have the subcategory of the trantifa or combination of transsexual and antifa that are very militant just like the climate change fanatics. Instead of transgender females with penises hitting on female swimmer Riley Gaines at San Francisco State University, they end up putting paint or other damaging coats on famous paintings all in the name of climate emergency? I remember hearing a story where I actually heard the guy complaining saying he's late for work it was a convicted Criminal on parole and he couldn't make it to work on time and thanks to those climate emergency idiots, he ended up going back to jail because he was late for work and the parole officer didn't care that these young teenage idiots were laying in the street blocking traffic in Washington DC.
Also about 6 years ago, Trudeau was trying to do a trade deal with the Chinese but built into the trade deal was some minor demands for democratic reform and that just pissed off the Chinese government and Trudeau didn't know that the Chinese are not used to saying no face to face. Trudeau ended up going home empty-handed because the Chinese communist didn't say no but they didn't say yes and I read a headline saying that President Biden was going to put pressure on the Chinese to increase their climate change carbon reduction mitigation and that's not going to happen especially if they're building a couple power plants per week. President Biden and the science of stupid!
