Editor,
Re: Robert Davies letter, PAN letters, April 11
I noticed Robert “forgot” to mention in his comments that Canada only produces 1.5 per cent of the global emissions.
Spare me any per capita argument. Until we have 1.4 billion people, it’s not an issue.
Canada is the second-largest country in the world and has one of the smallest carbon footprints.
Regarding the rebate. What rebate?
Most families will not see the rebate because their combined family income is over $62,000 per year.
Further, of the $22 billion the Liberal government had collected in carbon tax prior to this increase, only one per cent of made it back into the pockets of small business owners, (among) those who need it most.
Only a liberal would be happy to give the government money to receive a portion of it back.
“Oh look I got a rebate!”
Idiot.
There is no meaningful alternative to the carbon tax needed, we simply do not have a large enough footprint to even be considering any sort of carbon tax.
Robert has a lot of nerve questioning the honesty and credibility our local MP when he himself wrote such a politically agenda-driven letter.
The Sahara desert was once ocean…the majority of British Columbia was once covered in water…now gone.
If only there were someone to tax back then to keep these climate tragedies from occurring.
