Saw the Premier’s press conference this morning and felt disappointed.
I, on principle, am against donating to political parties. So I decided to take some action by donating to charities (and at the same time sending an eCard to my MPP).
Hi Mr.Anand, I would like to thank Premier Ford and the Ontario PCs for bringing the carbon tax to Ontario by cancelling the Cap and Trade program in 2018. The carbon tax that was held as constitutional by the Supreme Court of Canada. I am donating to Gen Squeeze (832390199RR0001) and the Greenbelt Foundation (822521878RR0001) as a result of the maligned press conference hosted by the Premier on April 2, 2024. Sincerely, *****, an active constituent from Mississauga-Malton.
On March 26th, 2024, 300+ leading Canadian Economists signed an open letter on carbon pricing.
the most vocal opponents of carbon pricing are not offering alternative policies to reduce emissions and meet our climate goals. And they certainly aren’t offering any alternatives that would reduce emissions at the same low cost as carbon pricing.
I never disputed carbon taxes work, you dong dong.
I just think the middle class shouldn’t be footing the bill for it while the billionaires have 12 mansions.
Don’t you think the people who have the most wealth and the most power should also be taking the most responsibility?
Oh. So let the middle class buy all the carbon polluting crap they want at cheaper rates? Which they’ll then onsell to other people
That won’t work
The trick to distributing wealth is force the rich and multi nationals to pay their taxes
That is effectively how the current carbon pricing system works.
Only the upper parts of the middle class on average pay in more than they get back.
