    Default Carbon tax

    Increased to $65 per tonne.

    https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/no-april-...cted-1.6337642

    "In Alberta, that translates to a carbon tax on gasoline of 14.3 cents per litre, up from 11 cents currently. It means that the cost of a 40-litre tank of gas will go up by about $1.30, while the average monthly natural gas bill will increase by $5.22. A 20 Ib propane tank will also roughly cost another 77 cents extra to fill."

    $170 per tonne by 2030. War on carbon has just begun.
    Cocoa $11,000 per tonne.

    Need Gondek to confirm if it's working.

    Would be more effective decreasing our population and not increase it by 1M. That's 1M new drivers on the road.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Funny thing I know guys that have permits in bc to cut trees.
    They use the scraps to entirely heat their homes and workshops all winter. Basically free utilities for heat.

    Guys, the good news is in less than 12 months the carbon tax will be increasing by 23%.

    And the great news is in 4 years it’ll be slightly less than double what it is today.

    Rejoice.

    Since we don’t control the air, our good air decided to float over to China’s bad air so when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move. So it moves over to our good air space. Then now we got to clean that back up, while they’re messing ours up.

    So, wait, do we start blaming the Chinese or stop blaming them? I'm so confused, I need a buffet to figure this out.

    Double racist. The only non-racist thing to do is ignore that China has any direct or indirect influence on Canada whatsoever, and possibly hide any evidence of such as well.
