Liberal MPs accuse premiers of 'screaming hypocrisy' over testimony for carbon-tax relief

Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchiOTTAWA — The premiers of New Brunswick and Alberta lambasted the impending federal carbon tax increase in a House of Commons committee and insisted that Canada needs to instead focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions on the world stage.

New Brunswick scrapped its own provincial carbon tax scheme just last year, and reluctantly joined the federal program arguing that it would provide relief to its citizens. “If we could simply reduce China’s reliance on coal by 20 per cent, that would offset all of the emissions of all of Canada,” she added.Federal Conservatives have been maintaining the pressure to cancel the April 1 increase, which will see the federal carbon tax increase from $65 per tonne to $80. That means an increase of three cents per litre on gasoline, for a total of 17 cents for the federal levy.
