Carbon tax doesn’t add up
Article content
People don’t seem to realize there’s a difference between a carbon tax rebate and refund. We are getting a rebate, not a refund, and the reason for it is everything we buy has a carbon tax associated with it so you’re being taxed far more than utility gas and filling up your car. All your groceries , all your dry goods, everything you buy has had a carbon tax associated with it because of how much fuel (tractors, heating barns, fertilizers, etc) it used to produce our food and how it was delivered to local stores. Keeping a store like SuperStore warm has a huge carbon tax. This cost has been passed on to you and you’re paying it. The couple of dollars we get back from the government represents I believe somewhere around 20% of what we pay. So your rebate is not even close to what you gave to the carbon tax. Carbon tax is the dumbest thing a human being has ever come up with, and we are just as dumb because we’re following and allowing it.

Can’t buy me votes
Do not be deceived, thinking (for one second) Justin Trudeau cares about the current housing crunch anywhere in this nation of Canada for that matter. With federal elections scheduled for sometime in 2025, it is all about buying votes for a desperate prime minister and his sinking federal Liberal government. As the Beatles once sang some 60 years earlier, money can’t buy me votes, or was that “love”?

(It doesn’t seem to matter how much of our money Trudeau wants to hand out, Canadians aren’t buying it anymore. If there was ever a time for an election, it is now. But, of course, with their NDP colleagues, the Liberals don’t have to do anything for over a year)

Social failure
Haiti and Gaza are soulmates in social failure. Neither can feed themselves. The populace have been dependent on endless foreign welfare for decades without any self-reliance improvements. Their ineffective governments are controlled by gangs — G9 in Haiti and Hamas in Gaza. Speak up against them and you are dead. Violence is rampant. Guns rule. Social instability and political corruption are facts of everyday life. Fuel is exorbitantly expensive. But roads are unusable anyway. Industry cannot be developed. Barter replaces hard currency except for the gangs. Schools are shut. Nothing works. Health care is scarce or non-existent. Oops, that’s here in Canada.

(All accurate, sadly)
