Doug Ford slams federal carbon tax that takes effect in four provinces today GlobeToronto

Ontario Premier Doug Ford gives remarks at a car dealership alongside MPP Jeff Yurek and provincial Environment Minister Rod Phillips, in Toronto, on April 1, 2019.Ontario Premier Doug Ford took direct aim at the prime minister as the federal carbon tax went into effect Monday, saying he doesn’t believe Justin Trudeau’s pledge that Canadians will recoup the costs of the levy.

Residents of those provinces will be getting rebates on their income tax returns that start at $128 annually and increase for people with spouses or dependants at home. Ottawa has yet to reveal details about a program to rebate some of the increased costs faced by small– and medium-sized businesses. The starting rate adds 4.4 cents to the price of a litre of gas, about four cents to a cubic metre of natural gas, and also drives up the cost of propane, butane and aviation fuel.

Schwarzenegger, a Republican, was in office as California prepared to introduce a cap-and-trade system though he left office about a year before it was implemented in 2012. In a minute-long video McKenna posted on Twitter, he praises Canada’s price on pollution and says all the anti-carbon price rhetoric Canada is hearing today, he heard a decade ago.

How can he slam the carbon tax when he's the reason its here in the first place? Stupidity. Besides... Gas prices in Ottawa went down last night. 😂😂 So much for scary increases.

Ousted OPP veteran Brad Blair sues Doug Ford for $5-million for defamationIn a statement of claim, the former interim leader of the OPP is alleging the Progressive Conservative Premier “maliciously” ruined his reputation in a 'deliberate act of reprisal” I guess if he wasn't such an entitled douchebag that everyone hated, he might not have been skipped over for the position. I hope he wins and I hope he takes every last cent Ford has. Ford says he cares about the police? That’s a laugh.
