Why are you guys so obessesd with the redistribution of wealth?
All of you and your children have received goods and services from the redistribution of wealth. All of your off farm investments are a transfer of wealth in some form.
We have a progressive income tax system in Canada. The more you make the higher rate of tax you pay. Taxes are used to fund almost everything you depend on including health care, education, roads, police, emergency services, infrastructure.....
Taxes are also used to provide subsidies and safety nets to agriculture. Old age security, Guaranteed Income Supplement are programs to make sure that seniors dont live in poverty. All this and more are a tranfer of wealth and redistribution from tax payers.
Under Harper and the Conservatives most of the programs were similar.
So the question of whether transfers of wealth are a good thing really depends on which programs and services you support and which you don't.
A carbon tax will be a small part of the overall taxation system revenues. Provinces can decide how they use the carbon tax and exempt agriculture if they choose.
The price of energy has been much higher than it is now. This was also a transfer of wealth from Consumers to oil producers.
Canada currently has one of the strongest economies in the G7.
If I were premier and the carbon tax was forced on my province, I would exempt everyone but federal politicians. And I would quadruple it!
Not much logic involved but the last comments summing up the issue pretty much say it all:
"The overwhelming majority — 97 percent — of peer-reviewed papers in the literature support the consensus view that human activities have contributed to the majority of recent warming," with a "vanishing small proportion" of published research rejecting the scientific consensus, she said.
But "giving equal, 50-50 weight to both the red and blue teams in the exercise would mislead the public into thinking there is a debate when there isn't one," Levin said. "And the Trump administration is likely to stack the red team with fossil fuel industry interests, as it has done with its Cabinet positions."
science got us this far , now we want to reject it , because we do not like what it says.
it is a hell of a big conspiracy, if that is what your thinking .
science has been right about everything else but not this apparently.
you trust science and math to steer your tractor straight down the field .
but not here.
yes , there will be some transfer of wealth, and some abuses i am sure.
but what if they are right ?
we may be ok , here , but melting polar caps, etc. etc.
wars, political turmoil , who knows
it will cost a bit , but would you not rather be safe than sorry ..
we will be long dead , before it hits.
so why should we care.
well maybe because we should

What a strange post - it's author could be afflicted with paranoid schizophrenia. It begins with wanting to trust science and ends with strictly emotional conjecture.
sawfly, are you okay?
BTW, the "97%" thing has been debunked quite some time ago. Read up on it, how the alarmists arrived at it.
Unfortunately, the alarmists have invested so much in their frenetic theories and doomsday projections that they will likely never back away from them.
And ALL greedy politicians jumped on board whole hog for the TAXES! Like lemmings over the cliff, sheep blindly following the leader to slaughter. Does not make it right....Hitler was right, Stalin, Korean nut job is right for some.
Is there anyone that can grab the periodic table and explain to me how CO2 gets in the upper atmosphere? My grade 12 marks sucked because I questioned everything
my point was, even if we do not suffer the bad effects of global warming.
do we not have a moral obligation to go with the science.
