The right to self determination is a core principle of international law that Britain respects.

Carney will continue making life less affordable and eliminating Canadian jobs under the guise of Net Zero insanity.

Only Poilievre pledges to kill carbon taxes

By promising Monday to kill the Liberal government's industrial carbon tax, as well as the consumer carbon tax if his party wins the next election, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is committing to do what Prime Minister Mark Carney is pretending to do.

That is to remove the financial burden of federal carbon pricing on Canadians who are paying it.

These two taxes, according to independent, non-partisan parliamentary budget officer Yves Giroux, leave most Canadian families worse off, even with rebates, because of the damage they cause to our economy.

Carney announced Friday that he is ending the consumer carbon tax by folding it into the industrial carbon tax, where its true costs will be hidden from the public.

He will also create a second carbon tax — a tariff — raising prices on many foreign goods imported into Canada, paid for by Canadian consumers.

Poilievre said he will lower Canada's industrial greenhouse gas emissions through tax incentives to industry to produce low-carbon products and through the use of new low-carbon technology.

He said a Conservative government would also help to lower global emissions by approving natural gas pipelines and infrastructure to enable Canada to export liquefied natural gas to global markets. (Replacing coal-fired electricity with natural gas is one of the most effective ways to help reduce emissions because it burns at half the carbon dioxide intensity of coal.)

Trudeau was as disingenuous then as Carney is now because he claimed he imposed carbon taxes due to the fact they were less expensive and more efficient than government regulations and subsidies.

The reality is that Trudeau imposed all three.

In fact, the Liberals have already earmarked more than $200 billion of federal taxpayers' money under their existing climate policies to fund scores of government programs staffed by a massive federal bureaucracy.

They should all be subjected to a forensic audit, given Auditor General Karen Hogan's findings of massive financial regularities in the billion-dollar Sustainable Development Technology Canada fiasco.

If Carney and the Liberals win the upcoming election, it will never happen.

Pierre Poilievre vows to scrap all carbon taxes.
Poilievre said his government would scrap the hidden industrial carbon tax on Canadian businesses and manufacturers.
This makes Poilievre the first federal political leader to commit to ending all carbon taxes.
This is great news for hard-working Canadians.
The hidden industrial carbon tax is bad news for two big reasons:

First, industrial carbon tax costs are passed on to consumers. When governments nail fuel refineries, utility companies and fertilizer plants with carbon taxes, it makes gas, diesel, home heating and food more expensive.

Second, U.S. President Donald Trump wants to steal Canadian businesses and manufacturers. The Canadian industrial carbon tax punishes those businesses. A hidden carbon tax on Canadian businesses is a cruel way of pushing them across the border.

Carney's carbon tax is a recipe for disaster — higher prices, fewer jobs and less production in Canada.

Fortunately, Poilievre's commitment to scrap the industrial carbon tax is a game-changer. Carney must explain wh

I am making sure that the Conservatives lose Canada's election. I would rather deal with a Liberal.

Good to see folks are ignoring Joe posts and threads.

Old Pierre is going to cut the lowest tax bracket to 12.75 percent from fifteen percent. That would save couple two grand a year.

That is good. Liberal years have been inflationary. People who work are worse off now than they were a decade ago.

Four more years of Conman and the Liberals will finish off what Justine started.

The NDP vote and the BQ vote in Quebec have collapsed and gone to this sellout rich WEF boss.

Ya know Conservative Blue Cashewers...deep down I kinda like Pierre Polievre. But I don't think he has what it takes to stand up to Trump. PP is a decent guy with good intentions but he comes across as naive and inexperienced. I think Trump would eat him for lunch.

Danielle Smith is also a decent Canadian. But like Poilievre she's also naive.

Thinking you can reason with Trump is foolish. He isn't that kind of person & he's a winner take all kinda guy.

Carney's approach is better because he's trying to form an alliance against Trump with Europe.

Feel free to disagree but if Carney was the Conservative & Poilievre was the Liberal I'd still vote for Carney because he has what it takes to get the job done.

Actually Poilievre and the Conservatives have some good ideas & many of your criticisms of the Liberals are valid. But I'd go for the guy with the better qualifications than a party banner this time.

May be true that Carney isn't a nice guy but same time neither is Trump. You don't enter politics to be a nice guy.

If Carney is a Son of a bitch at least he's our Son of a Bitch.

Poilievre is promising to let working seniors keep an extra $10,000 tax-free. The Conservatives say this will save a working senior up to $1,300 a year. 

The Conservatives also promise to change RRSP rules to let seniors' investments grow longer.

I've got news for the whole entire fucking world, not just Cucknadians, DJT WILL WIN ALWAYS, END OF!!!! Why? Because we, the USA, are the worlds biggest consumer/buyer and Trump is leveraging that instead of our previous fucktarded, traitorous, cowardly, corrupt leaders who sucked greasy world cawk 24/7 and gave away all our wealth for NOTHING in return. Bend the fucking knee, or fuk off and die.

Carney is gonna get raped by Trump, repeatedly, in public, and even to his face in the WH, even worse than Zelenski. Carney WILL GET NOTHING!!!!! Carney will stand up to Trump, enrage him, then Trump will burn his fucking ass down even if it ruins Canada. Mark my werdz!!!!

I for one look forward to the next libtarded PM of Canduhduhs humiliation rituals at the hand of Trump!!!!!
