As usual, the Liberals are just finding new creative ways to lie to you.

Looks like Carney's resistance against American economic dominance is off to a good start.

Quote from: DKG on May 03, 2025, 06:14:42 PMTrudeau always called C02 pollution, but he is a liar and not very smart.

My own opinion is that higher C02 levels are a problem but not an existential threat.

Brother DKG is of course correct. Gather round kiddies while I explain to you in simple, easy to understand terms why. CO2... carbon dioxide... is what trees and other green plants breathe. They breathe it in and they excrete oxygen, which we breathe.

This Captain Obvious factoid is brought to you in the interests of educating anyone STUPID enough to claim this essential gas is in any way "pollution". Draw down the levels of CO2 by "squestering" or any other means, you are asphyxiating the organisms that prevent us from asphyxiating. If you like oxygen, you need to supply the trees with carbon dioxide. Without which they will wither and die, then you will wither and die.

Got that so far? Good. Now recognise this next bit, it's actually kinda important. If there is a surplus of carbon dioxide, trees will produce (get this) MORE OXYGEN!!!! WOweee, who knew? Well actually, a whole bunch of people do, glad you asked. I know from personal experience there are these things called "greenhouses", perhaps you've heard of them? Plants get grown in them you know. And in some of them, the people running the damn things will actually ADD carbon dioxide to them because it makes the plants grow even biggerer.

SCIENCE!!!

Full disclosure; trees do need other things to go along with that growth spurt of course... they like to "eat" certain minerals from out of the ground, as well as drink water from it, but (and here's the exciting part), Mother Nature generally tends to supply that last part by shitting rain from the sky and evolving these things called "farmers" to do things like rotating crops and various other arcane trickery to facilitate the first. Side note: a byproduct of the stuff of these "farmers" includes the stocking of shelves at your local supermarket with things you can eat, so you too can grow Big and Strong... just like the trees do. Maybe even grow a functioning BRAIN to appreciate just how amazingly magical the whole arrangement is!

It's a neat little system that works. And it has worked exactly like this for many, many years... more years than you can count of your fingers and toes in fact. It is self correcting too... you get too much of one thing, everything else adjusts to address the imbalance.

So the next time you get a true dope telling you that something like carbon dioxide is "pollution", you can point and laugh at him for what a dumbass and a fuckwit that he is.

Or, alternatively, you may point and laugh at yourself for believing his shit and allowing it to dictate your lives. And the self correcting nature of this planet will ultimately squeeze you and your bloodline out of existence like the evolutionary dead end you are if you're stupid enough. The planet will in fact survive even if you don't; it has gotten exceptionally good at doing that over the 4.3 billion years that it's been around.

Now fuck off and go build a carbon scrubber or something. I mean if you're really convinced of the existential threat CO2, the least you can do is be a solution to the problem instead of whining like a little bitch that nobody else supposedly is. Go on, fuck off... you aggravating little shit!

And for everyone else that has waded through this little exercise in logic and are saying "well duhh, cretins could understand all that"... no, cretins do NOT understand that, that's why they keep banging on about what problem CO2 is, how the sky is falling, think of the children (the ones they haven't already yeeted in an abortion clinic) etcetera etcetera. And yes, they will doubtless continue to exercise their cretinous stupidity going forth.

But I had fun writing this.

And polluting the air about me with a fuckton of carbon dioxide while I did it.

What Mark Carney should make a top priority, but he will not.

-Immediately expand and expedite energy infrastructure projects
-Eliminate the emissions cap
-Scrap green washing legislation
-Fast track indigenous ownership

In fact, Carney plans to do the opposite and expand on Trudeau's economy crippling anti energy agenda.

Wait until the details come out about Conman Carney's radical transformation of the Canadian economy.

My commiserations. Looks like you got out just in time.

I sold up and pulled up stumps from there five years ago, right about the time it became apparent that the "two weeks to flatten the curve" were going to be dragged out to unreasonable lengths. Then I flew to Scat Fagcrisco and divested myself of my interests there as well.

Both actions made sense to me to do at the time and I do not regret my decision for a moment. AIDS commie filth would have stolen that worth from me had I not protected it when I did.

Mark Carnage is up to 169 seats. Just 3 shy of a majority.

Expect some or all 7 of the NDP MP's to cross the floor and join the Grits.

Canadians are stuck with this globalist control freak for the next 4 years. My former country is sooooooo FUBAR.

Quote from: Brent on April 16, 2025, 01:19:49 PMCanadians aren't buying Liberal Leader Mark Carney's promise that he's working on a magical new carbon tax where "big polluters" pay the costs instead of the public for the good reason that no such tax exists.

A survey by Leger for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation of 1,631 adults from April 4-7 found that 70% of Canadians believe businesses pass along most (44%) or some (26%) of the added costs they face to the public because of the federal industrial carbon tax.

Only 9% believe businesses absorb most of the costs without hiking prices, while 21% say they don't know.

That means among those with an opinion, 89% believe businesses will pass along most or some of their added costs to the public.

Meanwhile, we're still waiting for the details of Carney's magical carbon pricing plan, which he introduced while running for Liberal leader, claiming it would make "big polluters' pay for industrial emissions.

From what little we know of it, Carney intends to fold the consumer carbon tax on 22 different forms of fossil fuel energy, including gasoline and home heating fuel, into an "improved and tightened" industrial carbon tax, while extending its current application by five years to 2035 from 2030.

That means that, unlike the current system, Canadians won't know how much they're paying or how it will impact their standard of living because the carbon price will be hidden from them, given that consumer prices are impacted by a variety of factors.

I haven't looked so forgive me, but... is there any language about carbon credit trading in the proposed changes?

Because if there is then "the biggest polluters" will skate as they always have.
