    Then he comes home and promises to add more Canada only impediments to trade.
    Who advises this guy or does he not listen.

    Silly question?

    I know most people will disagree with me about this, but every product or service we have is priced according to the sum of all the cost of energy required to provide that good or service.

It costs what it does because that is how much effort is required to get it into from a hole in the ground into my fuel tank get a usable format. And every step of that process requires energy , including the wages paid everyone along the way which ultimately pay for energy, and none of that energy is exempt from CO2 tax. So just because farm fuel is exempt at the very last step of the chain, it is still built in
    And is having absolutely zero effect on consumption.
    My theory is carbon taxes are a consumption based tax like the gst. GST is collected at retail while carbon tax is charged on the energy used to produce everything. Essentially the government has their hand in the cash at every stage of the economy. How else do you tax the Amazon’s of the world? The only crux is the Russia’s and chinas won’t play ball. So hence looming environmental regulations on ships burning bunker fuel etc. The environmental loons are being played by government to build a new taxation system where all revenue is extracted from all facets of the production stream in a resource based economy at the same time gaining social license. If government truly cared about reducing energy consumption at home they’d spend trillions on new rail lines and even the electrification of them. Transportation of people and goods is the biggest user of energy. It isn’t happening anytime soon so you know their true intentions.

    Govt is increasing the cost of dyed diesel. Cost more in oil production,oil transport,refining,transporting dyed diesel. Lots of indirect taxes

    I read an interesting article this morning talking about how much money India will be spending subsidizing fertilizer for farmers in India. They will be spending a projected $20.64 billion dollars to ensure supplies amid global shortages. From what I could find there is roughly 395 million acres of farmland in India. It works out to a $52 per acre subsidy. So in India fertilizer is subsidized and they pay no carbon tax. In Canada our government wants us to use less fertilizer and is increasing the cost of everything(except dyed fuel) with a carbon tax!

    Talk is that there is no good moisture as far down as you want to dig.
    None in the root zone, a smidge on the surface.
    Can't make many plans other than for a below average crop next year
