The carbon tax will try to push Ontarians to use electric power, but power bills are already so expensive that the provincial government artificially reduces power charges by 33 per cent and puts it on the taxpayers’ tab. Adding demand for electricity would use more surplus power, which is good, but it will quickly lead to more reliance on the province’s under-utilized gas fired power plants, which would boost Ontario emissions.
Of course, Quebecers are missing out on the Liberals’ deal of a lifetime: a tax that actually gives you back more than you have paid. This is the essential selling point of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s latest climate change charade. We get to tell each other, and the world, that we have a serious climate change plan that will enable us to meet our 2030 Paris accord greenhouse gas-reduction commitments, but at the same time most people won’t really have to pay anything.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told The Canadian Press in an interview Wednesday that he wants to partner with provinces to improve long-term care as long as national standards can be set and upheld.
But Legault spokesman Ewan Sauves says health care is firmly a provincial jurisdiction and Ottawa's only role is to provide proper funding for it.

"I would like to highlight that I completely agree with the former premiers of Quebec and [with] Quebecers who are concerned by the decline of the French language, and I am as well,” Trudeau said.
But no one else is.
