    Wow new independent study carbon tax????

    So apparently people
    Associated with Steven Harper have done a study and the federal carbon tax would be a net benefit to every household in Sask by over 1,500 dollars a year??

    Wow great the carbon tax is a perpetual motion machine, it’s actually going to create more money than it uses for a few households.

    We are so screwed.

        I'm drying grain with propane right now which is not exempt from the carbon tax. But did however buy a few cheap subsidised LED lightbulbs, so yes, we are all much richer as a result.

          What’s going to be the net cost per acon every farm ?
          I could care less about the average urbanite household.
          What would it cost the average farm ?
          That direct question get skirted every time.

              Yes that is the question but my question is these people that did this study somehow found the areas that do most of the activity in the country are supposedly getting way more back so will this be a net amount back to farmers or who the hell is getting this. Because if it isn't us farmers then someone somewhere is getting a hell of a lot more than 1500
              Back? That's my question.

                Got ya , that’s been one of my questions from day one as well.
                Not that I care much now , I believe this whole carbon tax scam is getting dismantled shortly anyway .

                  If I understand the article correctly the Liberals would take from Peter to pay Paul. Low income earners will recieve far more in rebates than they pay in carbon tax, in fact according to the article most people will and the money will come from carbon taxes payed by industrial users, so in other words an income transfer. What the article doesn't in my opinion take in to account, is yes you will recieve more back than what you pay in tax but if industrial users are footing the bill the costs of goods and services we pay for will rise more quickly than projected. And why would you change your behavior if you recieve more than you pay in carbon tax? What a fricking scam! It will certainly cost farmers far more than they recieve!
