It’s no stretch to say Trudeau has bet his job on Canadians — Ontarians, certainly — finally being ready to pay for the battle against climate change

He cant sell it to us when a nobel winning economist says it wont work.

No

No

Nope cause It’s bullshit

When the world was challenged by acid rain and the ozone crisis, the world acted. Yes, it cost a bit of money, but it was effective. The difference now seems to be that any action by government, except for massive tax cuts, is wrong. Shame on Conservatives, they know better.

Liberals are so gullible, perhaps yes !!

No

NO. It's nothing but LiberalGreed.

Not gonna happen.

No

we have had 3 decades of anthropogenic climate change school curriculum indoctrination in fake climate science, so demographics indicates the under 40 voters just might give the Trudeau regime another majority gov't. If so, I expect the break up of Canada Vive L' Alberta Libre

NO!!!

No

just more liberal smoke and mirrors

The average family will pay over 2000 and get nothing back, low income will get 300? This does nothing but hurt Canadians when we are 1.5% of the world’s problem.We can do more aggressively selling LNG to China and India to get them off coal!!!!

So at great administrative cost, they will refund the tax they take from us in the first year, just prior to the election. Then, what is to happen in the following years? C'mon, really?

I detest this PM so much I won't even comment.

No

His basic sales pitch is 'a carbon tax on Canadians will have zero impact on global climate change, now give me your money!'

Doubtful...Has anyone ever seen him walk and talk at the same time?

Well he dodged the groping issue why not this....

How can he sell it when he doesn't understand it himself.

british_north Taxes are how Governments pay for getting things done. Always have been - always will be. To clean up past generation abuses & create a better, cleaner environment for future generations - will take taxes - now & in the future. It is so simple really. cdnpoli carbontax

I think force is the word you meant to use, sell implies it’s something we want to buy.

So far no policy of this Liberal government has been successfully implemented. Not one. This carbon tax thing is another failure. Election is getting close.

Please don’t use the word “sell “ as this is not a sell this is a tax grab only . To sell is not to deceive someone but rather find a mutually agreeable arrangement that benefits all which clearly this is not the case .

No he can't lol.

Uhhh.noooooo

Nope

God no.

No

Nope!

JustinTrudeau sold himself to Canadians in 2015 even though he was clearly a mental lightweight with an election platform that read like a hippie poster from San Francisco circa 1967. A weather tax should be easy.

Nope!

Nope

True challenge for Trudeau will be to fight the next election with carbon tax as a key platofrm items. He won't. He knows it will decimate Libs. People know it's a scam. We've had a live demo by Cathy Wynne not so long ago and look where she landed.

Scam with no transparency

Not thinking canadians

Can Justin Trudeau pay enough morons with their own money to get re-elected? Seeing the constant barrage of blind followers and sycophants who never hold him responsible for his never ending gaffes and borderline criminal behaviour, I fear the answer is yes.

Only fools fall for this shit. Pardon my language. 'Let's just smoke another joint' , you might actually believe in this.

Emphatic no.

Asking us to accept this is akin to picking up the clean end of the turd.

Ask conservatives to show us their alternative plans.

No.

Only the dumb Canadians.

This is one of the biggest scams ever. Will be adding JustinTrudeau and gmbutts to this video! And some dough heads will lap it up!

Not in my 2 year old”s lifetime.

NOPE!

Not a chance .

No.

Nope

In BC I bought a townhouse, reduced to one electric car and my kids all got carbon tax rebates - I’m not skeptical.

Not me....

No way. Better to promise lower taxes if CO2 emissions go lower.

10,000 years ago Toronto was under 2 miles of ice, if Trudeau wants to stop another glacier movement in the future, wouldn’t that be altering the climate, or “ climate change “ ?

Canada JustinTrudeau liberal_party ... A carbon tax in Canada should have been a non-starter. However, so many Canadians were hoodwinked by Junior. A certain Paul Wells line seems appropriate here WRT Trudeau supporters.

Good luck.

No he can’t! It’s a nonsense tax that has zero possibility of having an impact on climate. The only impact will be on the poorer segments of our society! taxtodeath

No.

Uh, NO!

Only the really dumb ones who believe you can get something for nothing

No we are not skeptical, we are realist that understand the world weather and climate have been changing for millions of years, and taxing mother nature is the most stupid idea ever. But then again look at who is proposing the bloody idea.

This tax scam is so ludicrously illogical it is right off the charts! Even CBC can’t polish this turd.

Most people that are against it actually have no clue what it is, what it will do and what the benefits will actually be...

Nope

No... no he can not.

Can Justin Trudeau sell informed and enraged Canadians on anything at this point? I think not.

Hell no! Trudeau is selling, Canada isn't buying!

Nope
