That is why the most corrupt government is attempting to get revenue wherever it can.
But don't take my word for it:
The federal government has released a climate change plan that includes steady increases to its carbon tax in each of the next 10 years.
The federal price on carbon will continue to increase by $10 a tonne until it reaches $50 per tonne in 2022.
**
Cabinet will hike the carbon tax 240 percent despite repeated promises to freeze rates set by Parliament two years ago. “We have always said we needed to take additional climate action,” said Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna. Cabinet waited until the Commons adjourned for Christmas before disclosing the increase: “We will win the race against climate change.”

All four Atlantic provinces in a rare joint letter have petitioned the federal cabinet to disclose the true impact of a new climate change program, the Clean Fuel Standard. Energy ministers said regulations would impose punishing costs on households and industry: “Our economies are already struggling.”

There will be no amnesty for ineligible claimants who took $2,000 pandemic relief cheques, Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough said yesterday. Applicants who claimed to be jobless workers must repay their debt to the federal treasury, she said: “We put in place the CERB to help people who experienced job loss because of Covid.”
(Sidebar: remember - the Liberals handed this money out like candy and did not want scrutiny.)
**
The Department of Health yesterday said it will spend $200,000 researching the impact of social media food advertising targeting children. Cabinet since 2015 has promised to ban kids’ food ads worth nearly a billion a year, but has yet to introduce a bill: “Food and beverage companies have substantial online followings among teenagers.”
(Sidebar: who buys this junk for their fat little onelings, I wonder.)
Enjoy your slide in Venezuelan-style poverty, Canada.
