JillMacyshonCTV I hope, but not likely - obesity and diabetes are too popular.

JillMacyshonCTV Just tax the air we breathe. We know Canada's in debt, why not tax our heartbeats while you're at it too.

JillMacyshonCTV Nanny state taxing us for knowing what's best for us.

JillMacyshonCTV It didn’t work for cigarettes,beer or alcohol

JillMacyshonCTV More nanny state that always works just ask Venezuela

JillMacyshonCTV Enough with the taxes !!! Taxes to solve people buying habits is stupid!! Stop over governing the people. Just become communist if this is the direction the Left wants to go already.

JillMacyshonCTV They already are taxed

JillMacyshonCTV Just another money grab......waiting for the CO2 that I exhale to be taxed as well....lol

JillMacyshonCTV Yea just like it works on everything else.....

JillMacyshonCTV Well it didnt work on cigarettes, booze, weed, but maybe this time 🤷‍♂️

JillMacyshonCTV The carbon tax hasn’t stopped people from driving so what do you think? Oh maybe that is too difficult of a question to ask back!

JillMacyshonCTV Has taxing smokes made people not smoke..? Come on, seriously we can’t get most people just to eat right and exercise regularly...

They tax alcohol & cigarettes to death that doesn’t stop people from drinking & smoking. Gas is taxed people still drive. Marijuana is taxed people still smoke it.

JillMacyshonCTV

JillMacyshonCTV Of course the Liberals want to tax everything who carbon tax sugar tax taxes taxes taxes what this is for is to make up for all the stupid spending they did or the last year's they keep sticking it to us to fix his errors

JillMacyshonCTV No. 🤦‍♀️

JillMacyshonCTV Mind your own goddam business!

JillMacyshonCTV No.

JillMacyshonCTV How about a 20% carbon tax on every imported barrel of oil and a 10% on imported distillates... Why not put a boot in the ass of something that will at least help solidify the Canadian economy and not just the average Canadian citizen

JillMacyshonCTV This is absolutely unacceptable. If the government doesn’t fuck off woth the taxes there is going to be a French Revolution style uprising and some heads are going to be put on stakes.😡

JillMacyshonCTV Yes! Please tax refined sugar!!!!!

JillMacyshonCTV Ask how well taxing cigarettes works for the smokers.

JillMacyshonCTV Lmao ya tax the people and definitely not the greedy corporations pushing the poisons more proof MSM is bought and paid for and not looking out for we tbe people's best interest

JillMacyshonCTV Has taxes stop people from smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol? Nope! Dose more tax make people poorer! Yep

JillMacyshonCTV Another BS tax

JillMacyshonCTV Tax your farts because they create air pollution

JillMacyshonCTV they are already taxed

JillMacyshonCTV i dunno, if obesity and poor health aren't enough of a deterrent, what's a few more cents? on the other hand, if the revenue goes to the hospitals, they could use the money to treat the victims

JillMacyshonCTV The gov’t is so concerned about our health, they legalized pot.

JillMacyshonCTV Don’t we already have that tax?

JillMacyshonCTV Educate... don’t regulate

JillMacyshonCTV No, no it wouldn't. Cigarettes are taxed. Have people stoped smoking?

JillMacyshonCTV No it is just another play in the Liberal tax and spend even more model with the MSM dutifully, and all at once as we see on twitter, announcing Liberal Party speaking points.

JillMacyshonCTV Absolutely, a Sugar Tax, like Carbon Tax, Child Tax Benefit, where the average tax payer will get back more than they pay. Just frame it like that and it will be embraced.

JillMacyshonCTV Yes, but taxing sugar itself would discourage Canadians from consuming sugar, which is the ultimate objective.

JillMacyshonCTV I doubt it,just another tax grab.

JillMacyshonCTV Does taxing cigarettes stop people from smoking?

JillMacyshonCTV Health tax a good idea help funding for diabetes.

JillMacyshonCTV Just another tax for greedy government

JillMacyshonCTV That's the simpleton solution that simpleton masses seem to think will work... yet never does. Emissions? Tax it! Smoking? Tax it! Housing crisis? Tax it! Did it work so far? Nope!

JillMacyshonCTV Stop making them is the best move

JillMacyshonCTV AKA...we need to make up a new tax but dont want to make people mad at us so we need to find a reason that makes it sound like we care about you or the environment when really we just want extra tax dollars to spend

JillMacyshonCTV Only if prices will be drastically reduced on healthy food & drinks for consumers who cannot afford to purchase them today. This is just another gov’t tax grab. Why ask such stupid questions when u already know the answers.

JillMacyshonCTV Does a carbon tax deter Canadians from buying gas or heating their homes?

JillMacyshonCTV Yes tax us 100% of our income and we will buy nothing.

JillMacyshonCTV sure better than taking cigarettes again for the 200th time. about time they picked on someone else.

JillMacyshonCTV Could taxing Liberals deter them from creating more taxes?

JillMacyshonCTV It doesn’t work.

JillMacyshonCTV Moorons this a studfy being done by a proffessor it has nothing to do with trudue

JillMacyshonCTV No i just used will power after realizing how much of a waste it was unless in a movie theatre or when eating a hotdog or pizza

JillMacyshonCTV If the sugar free ones are cheaper.

JillMacyshonCTV LOL....must have gotten this idea from Trudeau...don't worry about it people. If you get taxed on sugary drinks when you buy them, you will get it all back (perhaps even more than you paid in)...

JillMacyshonCTV Quit giving tax payers money away and you would have more than enough to run the government but it seems so much easier to find new ways to take more of our money this way, who comes up with this stuff

JillMacyshonCTV If sugary drinks increase medical costs in our single payer system then those costs should be recouped through taxes at the consumer level rather than the company level.

JillMacyshonCTV How has tax worked for 'deter' tobacco, so well that government added something else to smoke & tax; taxes don't deter, they squeeze, doubling the disadvantage of the vulnerable, sheesh, high school logic

JillMacyshonCTV No. Just like the carbon tax, it will just make things more expensive.

JillMacyshonCTV Another tax? Liberal BS, October can't come soon enough getthecuffs

JillMacyshonCTV Or could it be just another tax? Good grief... learn to control what you spend and ditch the effin social engineering.

JillMacyshonCTV STOP. TAXING. EVERYTHING! its's NOT the answer to ALL of life's problems!

JillMacyshonCTV Tax tax tax tax tax

JillMacyshonCTV Could taxing companies that are making sugary drinks deter them from making them

JillMacyshonCTV The better question is SHOULD there be taxes on beverages disapproved of by the government? The answer is no.

JillMacyshonCTV Tax meat & dairy.

JillMacyshonCTV Try making healthier products a lot less cheaper and that will make people stop eating and drinking junk. Love to eat healthier but when compared in prices , it's the junk that wins out in the pocketbook

JillMacyshonCTV No. What WOULD do it is NOT pricing out healthy alternatives like juice and milk.

JillMacyshonCTV Tax tax tax tax tax. Enough! Stop overspending and our government won't have to tax us to death. Let's not pretend they are actually a solution to anything.

JillMacyshonCTV Oh for sure! 🤑🤑🤑

CTV National News: Controversial abortion billHollywood heavyweights are weighing in on Georgia's abortion law that bans the procedure once a heartbeat is detected. Joy Malbon reports. Why is it controversial? I honestly have no position on abortion, but it's creepy how hard these fake feminist who are just board women with nothing betting to to, fight so hard to kill the unborn. 'Controversial.' Which in today's society simply means some people like it and some don't. Even more ridiculous though are the arrogant fools who don't even live in the US getting all worked up over it.
