Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal carbon tax will help deal with extreme weather events such as fires in northern Alberta.

Justin Trudeau, Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, speaks to supporters during an armchair discussion at an open Liberal fundraising event in Toronto on Thursday, May 9, 2019. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan DenetteLast Updated Tuesday, June 4, 2019 2:25PM EDT

Speaking in Vancouver, Trudeau said Canadians are seeing the impact of climate change with an increase in wildfires in Western Canada, recent tornadoes in Ottawa and flooding across the country this spring. His comments counter those made by Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, who has said forest fires have always happened and a carbon tax won't change that.

The former NDP government brought in the tax in an attempt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and as a way to raise revenue for green energy projects."They've had a carbon tax in British Columbia for 10 years," he said Friday. "It hasn't made a difference to the pattern of forest fires there ... or in Alberta. And we've always had forest fires. We always will."

And he's full of crap. He is just looking to take advantage of the wildfires. It won't help. Gov needs to plan how to reduce the use of fuel. High speed rail and expansion of rail system for transportation of goods. And how to recharge elect cars while driving.

FO!

Lies lies lies lies ..... oh god when is this gonna end

Seriously, this guy is an idiot at the highest level!!

Stop talking...

Horse shit!!

OMG

how does ths assholes propose to do this , he never says how , just talk about our money can do this and that but he knows himself it is just a money grab for him and empty pockets for us

This rhetoric must be stopped.October is approaching not fast enough.

Please explain how.

Can someone please get this cartoon out, our country will go bankrupt with all his dramas.

I doubt it.

The carbon tax has giving back to taxpayers He lies almost as much as Trump

In other countries right cause Alberta doesn’t exist according to that idiot!!

Why is he still talking

He likes to hear himself talk, that’s all. Oh and don’t forget the mirror

Not as much as proper forest management can.

Only Carbon Tax can't prevent forest 🔥. Pay your tax before you camp..

a little late in the game to just make up where money goes. Just SHOW us the money. And 4.5 billion spent on a pipeline we can't even use should have easily been diverted to green-spending instead and wasn't so this seems like lies

Taping my ass shut would do more to stop climate warming or whatever is it now than a carbon tax. Or we could tape his mouth shut.

SAY IT LOUDER. No one believes you yet. (What a putz)

Alberta has had a carbon tax for awhile now. Here in BC we have had it for over 10 years. I don't think the forest fires care.

He is so disconnected from reality and the only explanation for such BS is that he’s drunk or had too much weed.

fri_kelly Collect the carbon tax and send it to other countries. Oh wait ...

Wasn’t the fire started by an arsonist? How will the carbon tax fight irresponsible campers and arsonists?

We should have an idiot tax can you imagine how much we would make off of Liberals !

Tax, tax, tax, tax. Sure they got our money to pay for things. The guys a Trudolt.

Sorry PM they don’t get it can explain it more

Taxing matches would have a larger effect.

I don’t need to pay more taxes. I just need government to practice fiscal responsibility.

The new tax is really going to help wildfires.

ya right, tax your Ugly as sin socks!

Full of crap

More bull crap from an expert.

138 DAYS 03 HOURS 35 MINUTES

Oh, FFS. fordnation cut 70% of Ontario’s fire fighting budget. Do ya’ think that’s helping deal with forest fires?

Another lie.

No ... no it won’t help.. that makes no sense JustinTrudeau carbontax

Isn’t oxygen the one that helps fires burn more?

Fake news

Liar

Ok how explain

Does he really say this shit with a straight face

Huh?

Bull, it's going to pay for all your promises....your gone this year.

What a nimrod!

LOL

Not sure if that’s what it was collected for ? How about start thinking how your going to save western canada !!! bigproblemshithittingfan

Shows how educated he is

How did this guy ever become PM? If Harper had said anything half as stupid the MSM would have been all over it! Canada desperately needs a change in government in Oct.

Did the Liberals legalize crack too because Trudeau & his Liberals sure seem to be on something all the time. How incredibly stupid.

Sure, a tax will put the fire out.

This is false. Tax will not make any measurable difference. It’s a scam.

Nuts

Also, a Balloon tax can help mitigate the expansion of the universe.

He loves to lie it literally was just on the news yesterday 51 year old man caught starting forest fires in Canada also yesterday it was on the news that a firefighter had been charged with 14 Forest arsonist

Lets never forget or forgive him for saying this as well these are real quotes from him

The steps taken by Canada is a waste of money and won't work because the Countries who polutes the most are doing nothing to help. Canada is barely poluting according to poll's.

Go smoke some more weed....

Seriously stick to drama potato head.

He’s lost his , never mind he never had a functioning one ...

And did you ask JT exactly how that’ll happen?

The Carbon Tax is based on the Climate Change HOAX ,SCAM ,LIES , and FAKE COMPUTER MODELS

You can quantity, but you would have a much more difficult time taxing the garbage. So it is easier and sheepish to tax carbon.

Trudeau has a masters in science so he must know everything. Taxing carbon, naturally produced on our planet, yet the garbage and plastics in growing in our oceans and Canada shipping our waste to Asia. Taxing carbon is easy because you can't measure it immediately and garbage

October 21, 2019, sockboy will be gone. TrudeauIsDone

Really would you give it up

He’s a looser

LOUDER...LOUDER...LOUDER! TRUDEAU carbon taxes prevent forest fires!!!

He also says the budget will balance itself.

There is no shield around us. Even if we could magically bring our emissions down to zero, it would only take two more months of Chinese emissions to cancel that reduction out. A carbon tax is like paying someone else to go on a diet.

But JustinTrudeau can you tax forest fires? Or will you tax the firefighters first for trying to save our stuff.

Show us the science on that whopper.

I'm nautious that he actually said and believes that

You bet ya and l got ocean front property for sale in central Alberta

That’s all bull, the change is already evolving!

Implementation was the only wrong thing about 'Carbon Tax'

Firefighter: There's a wildfire, you need to evacuate. Resident: But we pay a carbon tax, how is this possible? Firefighter: I guess your not paying enough, have you tried paying more?

Bullshit.... not gonna fool the people who’ve lived through it

So are the governments setting things on fire and demanding ransom to stop it?

How stupid does he think people are

Leaping’ Lizards! The Payseurs must be arsonists then logic! globalist elitists frauds GreatAwakening QAnon

What a load of bull ...... I can't believe how stupid the liberals are!!

You are a carbon based life form should you be taxed?

JustinTrudeau will carbon tax stop lightning, arsonists and careless people?

Ok now that statement is suppose to justify our liberals carbon tax ? How did we ever manage before the carbon tax.

Wildfires have nothing to do with carbon though

Lies, he wants a UN job!

How what are u using my money for?

Trudeau also says native kids just want to build a shed for their canoes, construction workers are sexual predators and Canada is being overwhelmed by white nationalists, all assisted by a willing media

Dreamer

How!? Whether you support the carbon tax or not this is not true. Until the government shows exactly how they are using funds to help the environment this is nothing more then redistribution of wealth.

Shows what little intelligence he has

Dictator JustinTrudeau please explain?

But we’ve been told that the CarbonTax would cure the climate and stop wildfires and other extreme weather. What to believe, what to believe...🤔. Oh, that’s right... it’s ALL lies.

another masked tax then ?!!! wonder what his next tax will be called

How is this helping JustinTrudeau? Has the fires paid the carbon tax? So far the fires haven't been put out by the carbon tax. Is the the carbon tax paying for the water being used on the fires? I don't think the environment knows what a carbon tax is.

We agree!

Will it help with a brainless leader

And you relay it!🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

No amount of money can halt or reverse the damage done by the human parasite. Be honest, Carbon Tax money is used for the over abundance of Immigration you allow anually. Charity starts at home. Worry about us first, not the comfort of other countries. Atleast till zero debt.

I had no idea you could smother fire with taxes. Think of all the lives which could have been saved throughout history. The wisdom of the Great Library at Alexandria would still be with us if only the ancients mastered the arcane secrets of over-taxation.

What a clown

the carbon tax is just another way for the government to take our hard earned money...enough of the taxing us already ...let the corporations who create the waste pay for it

Now this is what fake news looks like.

Did he just say 💩💩💩💩

If Trump said this the mocking and articles that followed would obliterate him, when Trudeau says this journalists treat it as if it were true.

Alberta's biggest cause of the size & speed of the wildfires is the pine beetle & wind. The pine beetle killed over 25% of the forest & this dead wood lights up fast compared to live trees. Anyone living in the north can see all the dead trees. Nature's way of cleaning up.

Canadians face a choice of putting food on the table or carbon taxes. TrudeauMustGo
