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

Trudeau says 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.That's why he says the federal government is moving forward with a carbon tax despite push back from conservative politicians.

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. Trudeau says the carbon tax allows the federal government to protect land and oceans, invest in renewable resources and transition toward a cleaner economy.

"We know that the extreme weather events coming are unaffordable for Canadians and for our society," Trudeau said at an event in Vancouver. "That's why we need to act. We need to act in a way that puts more money in the pockets of Canadians and that's exactly what we're doing with the climate incentive, with the support we're giving to families."

Ummm...check your copy on that last headline.....Death with Wildfires?

And you actually reported that ludicrous statement? No words can be used to describe my feelings towards that!

He should be removed on the basis of insanity. Seriously.

The Liberals honestly believe the answer to every problem is taxes, in their eyes there is nothing taxes can't do, a single tax can be considered a comprehensive environmental program, taxes can save lives, taxes create equality, more taxes help the middle class etc...

So by that logic there should have been a carbon tax a century ago, or more when there was just as many or more forest fires. 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

Sick 'n tired of his pseudo-scientific arguments to justify a carbon tax.

'deal?'

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.

Carbon tax can help death? He’s reaching now.
