REMINDER: The carbon tax exists for Ontarians because #DougFord cancelled the existing cap and trade program.
Premier Ford, as usual, is all over social media childishly blaming others for this colossal mistake..
"Ontario is waking up to the world’s worst April Fools’ joke. The Liberal carbon tax went up a whopping 23 per cent today [3 CENTS, Doug] — and guess who hasn’t said a peep? The Queen of the Carbon Tax herself, Bonnie Crombie." - Doug Ford
@gemelliz He says it because so many voters have the IQ of a turnip, have no understandng of how the carbon levy works, and are too self-centred to be bothered to address their own ignorance. And the right knows this.
"Axe the Tax" is a political proposal.
Fair enough.
But it isn't about making life more affordable.
It's spin to conceal a "let the planet burn" climate policy."
@Snoro Their plan is provide cover for the fossil fuel industry, and the elites of the 1% (AKA their owners). The damage it does to the earth and the rest of us will be blamed on others. #canada
An actually smart appliance would be a dishwasher that had exactly one button marked "start", and could figure out the minimum time, water and soap to do the job, and do it.
This is exactly the opposite of the "smart" we're seemingly getting.
This is going to help scammers a lot. Imagine getting a call from your loved ones, and they explain they are in trouble and need immediate financial assistance. This is going to affect so many elderly and innocent people. OpenAI is developing these tools again from publicly scrapping of your voice samples.
@realTuckFrumper The right paints marginalized people as the enemy, while the rich are laughing all the way to the bank as one institution after another is subverted into yet another obedient mechanism to extract wealth from the 99%.
The truth is, Conservatives hate the carbon tax because it is progressive and returns the revenue back to Canadians directly, not corporations. They dislike the fact that carbon taxes are not an upward wealth redistribution scheme, or a form of trickle down.
Premier Marlaina Smith says the carbon tax increase is “immoral and inhumane” while pilling a larger increase of his own on top of it.
This is the Marlaina Smith who is targeting trans youth, removing supports from drug addicts, pushes for the clearing of encampments, and is
sneaking policies (Alberta police force and pension plan), in through the back door that Albertans have clearly said they don’t want. That’s the list I find immoral and inhumane.
