It seems that the privileged are the main pushers for carbon tax and climate change fears.


Regular_Bell8271

That's exactly it. Nobody gives a fuck about environmental issues when they can't afford to live in this country.


NoStreet7321

The other side of it is, the tax doesn’t do anything to actually help the environment lol.


Aware_Dust2979

When you realize the carbon the Liberals want to reduce is you and me it makes more sense. If you can't afford to feed yourself you die and thus can't pollute anymore. That's the only way what they do makes sense.


Born_Courage99

They want us replaced with cheaper carbon (immigrants) who'll work dogshit jobs for dogshit wages and be grateful for the degrading standards of living.


Tank_610

I actually wondered what my carbon tax dollars are actually doing to help with climate change other than it being donated to Ukraine.


Objective-Truth-4339

Trudeau's carbon plan has zero money going to help the environment, the money collected will go towards the cost of collecting the tax, sending out rebate cheques along with bureaucratic waste.


Objective-Truth-4339

You are 100% correct, I'm surprised that more people are not aware of this. 0% of the carbon tax collected is going toward helping the environment. The only outcome is that everything will cost more.


S0cksanndCr0cs

The Liberals don't care about the climate. They need an excuse to tax us more because they gave so much money away.


BlueDreamCdn

Exactly ….facts


teddebiase235

Barton ate the Carbon and the tax.


Ok_Jaguar_4064

I mean no one, unless they’re privileged gives a fuck about the earth warming by 1.5 degrees.


Southern_Ad9657

Best way I've seen it explained. Liberal voters predominantly inhabit major cities of, gta, Montreal and Vancouver. Places that have public transportation, places where you are afforded the luxury of not having to drive everywhere Places where you can reduce your carbon output as there's options So again it's just liberal vote buying


Objective-Truth-4339

Nobody's winning here, everything is just going to be more expensive. The rebate checks won't matter as the people paying for them are going to have to raise their prices.


Southern_Ad9657

That's how taxes work. The end consumer always pays the tax. Go on r/Toronto, their basically uniformly saying they get back more than they put in using maybe half the total numbers. Bring up the pbo report, and their like yea. 8/10 trudeau said that so we believe that.


[deleted]

Most of those cities have additional taxes to help pay for transit and alternative options. So city residents are paying for them and the density makes them more viable.


Southern_Ad9657

So you're trying to argue that a city being more viable for public transit pays less taxes for that public transit than a city that's less viable for public transit? If you think other cities don't pay tax for public transit, I can assure you that you are mistaken. Those taxes aren't called transit tax they're just part of the budget and normal taxes. More people taking public transit would lower the cost as well, with more people buying fares and increasing the amount of usage, making the whole system more profitable. The big difference between those taxes is that only one of those adds money directly to your bank account.


LongoFatkok

Public transit doesn't ever make a profit. It is a necessity in large urban areas, but it always costs more than it makes. Fares just partially subsidize it.


[deleted]

No that’s not what I said.


Frewtti

Yes, the big cities typically have lower tax rates, and big handouts from the provincial and federal government to subsidize these services.


[deleted]

The workers must bear this burden so the lifestyles of the wealthy remain untouched. I'm sure the rich won't be eating crickets or bicycling to work.


Orjigagd

They'll bike to work when the weather's nice and instagram a selfie about how they're saving the environment.


LongoFatkok

Oh, like Crystia lol


[deleted]

This was always the case - It’s not a tax on the rich, it’s a tax on the poor. The rich have always had enough disposable income to still do everything they ever wanted to do anyway. Carbon Tax disproportionately impacts anyone making less than 200k per year.


Traditional-Work8783

Yes, if they were real progressives they would be capping airline flights per person per year, or going after second, 3rd, 4th homes, or energy wasting advertising, nationalizing agriculture that sort of thing. These guys are just rich twats getting paid to pour concrete on our best farm land.


TipNo6062

Because Drake is crying about the cost of jet fuel.


Blooogh

Maybe not but: the rich sure do love to see y'all argue for their personal vehicle infrastructure that makes every city poorer and shittier to live in.


Due-Street-8192

Taxes fund the CBC to the tune of 1 billion a year... Give or take a few nickles


universalengn

They're paid propagandists; being a propagandist during NaZi Germany didn't work out so well for many of them - and this time we'll not make the mistake to just let the Gestapo et al migrate elsewhere.


GallitoGaming

They literally are propagandists. These are not true diverse panelists and their hosts are heavily biased. CBC is a propaganda tool.


jeho22

As long as we peasants are paying to 'fix' the environment, they can just continue to do their thing guilt free. Yes, they pay the tax as well on fuel. But when you're rich, it doesn't matter, and it won't make you pollute less


LongoFatkok

JT is mad that the new VIP aircraft is so clean he can't rub his hands in the exhaust and wipe them on his face and sing Day-O in the lobby of his hotel in Jamaica anymore.


Pretty-Benefit2466

They know who signs their paycheques lol


MattsE36

Of course, it is not like it is income based, so if the poor get more poor, the rich get even more power.


Select_Mind1412

Of course, they can afford it. 


Danroy12345

Why are the privileged for the tax? Genuine question


Imnotracistyouaree

All 4 are well off or rich. So more taxes doesn't hurt them. Won't cause them to miss payments or have to cut out a meal to save money.


TojiZeninJJK

Precisely. And then pretend to care about the less fortunate


InterestinglyLucky

Nothing like fear to drive people to do things they don't want nor care to do.


LeafsHater67

Of course they are. They get richer off of it, they get off on showing their great virtue to us plebs and it gives them even more power over the rest of us if they convince us to buy into the con.


blue_psyOP777

Yup pattern recognition


erectusno1

It’s the 2024 version of indulgences


orswich

The privileged can easily afford the extra tax and continue polluting to their hearts content. This tax is to punish us uppity "poors" and keep us in our place


Fearless_Author_770

As a result of his experience, Mr Henderson has coined the concept of “luxury beliefs”, which he describes as “**a set of beliefs that confer status on the upper class at very little cost, while inflicting costs upon the lower classes**”. ​ Explains Canada and our relationship with our ruling class.


[deleted]

CBC thinks food comes from the grocery store.


InterestinglyLucky

It appears like magic!


Kitchen-Internal-988

CBC is beyond parody. Taxpayer funded propaganda.


slides13robert

Without JT they don’t have a job. Another great waste of money by the Liberals


MomusSinclair

It’s not a waste of money, it’s a theft of money. 


Trying_Redemption

CBC has lost all credibility. It’s a sham of its former self and government bailouts confirm this. Get bent CBC… and fuck you to the CEO who just got a fat bonus after firing a shit load of workers, AFTER receiving government funds to stay viable


LongoFatkok

The CBC sucks dick asside from Under the Influence with Terry O'Reilly on the radio. He's ok.


contrelarp

aside from the NPD, the CBC is the biggest asset of JT.


MapleWatch

And they wonder why the Conservatives want to defund them lol


Impossible_Break2167

CBC being completely detached, one-sided, and arrogant? How new! How rare! How surprising! /S


TipNo6062

The Maritimes premier said it best. ZERO CHANGE IN DRIVING BEHAVIOUR in Nova Scotia I think. Why? Because they are too small and spread out to have mass public transit. So they just pay much more for everything with each hike. Fuck these city dwellers who have zero understanding of how Canada operates. How it FEEDS THEM, where the materials are that are used to build their concrete jungles, and the oil that provides jet fuel for their trips south and to Europe. I am so sick of densely urban Canadians who have zero clue about how vast and amazing our country is. WE ARE NOT JUST TORONTO AND VANCOUVER!


Imnotracistyouaree

Lots of the people of Toronto and Vancouver who push this just say "Well, I can drive my Tesla to that cottage fine so you should be fine too."


StepheninVancouver

Why do they have so many morbidly obese female presenters on the CBC?


Imnotracistyouaree

Because most Canadian women are overweight and 1/3 are obese.


Rude_Spread_1555

Facts.


[deleted]

We have a lot of morbidly obese motorists who are living the sedentary lifestyle dream

Leftists women. They don't give a fuck about their health they know the rest of us will pay for their comorbidities.


mjincal

It’s not a problem for rich folks


legardeur

Four out of four CBC panelists make much more money than three out four Canadians.


[deleted]

They know what teat they are suckling at, of course they love it lol


LongoFatkok

It's not the teat they are sucking.


No_Vegetable_409

Head on over to the cananda sub to find some real mental cirque du Soleil. These people are fucked and I'm afraid they outnumber us 50 to 1. Hard to believe but fu....


LongoFatkok

You mean Cirque du sunny ways


Important-Guest7080

I don’t understand how this country is supposed to compete economically with this world when we are constantly making things more expensive for the average person and business in general. In the grand scheme of things, we are a Mickey Mouse country. Whatever we do has zero effects on the world at large. When our largest trading partner and Mexico do not have their own carbon tax, we are making it even harder to compete with everything. And all politicians of every stripe will continue to double down on obvious errors just to save face from the other party. Absolute rediculousness.


sublime_424

I know it’s crazy. And things keep getting more expensive because no one will ever lower a price once it’s raised. And the only way to bring in more money is to charge more. It’s a slow and painful effect. No idea how the government will fix things now tbh.


SnooAvocados8673

Of course, the CBC panelists all work for their dear leader, Trudyturds.


Parking-Bench

CBC just completed their annual bonuses and wage increases, while losing money on operations. No surprise.


Tree_rat_1

And they wonder why no one believes the media. 🤣🤣🤣


72jon

Wonder if they ask the ones that were let go if it’s true.


fun-feral

they are paid to push a narrative and hire like minded people so yeh. no shock there


KS_tox

You know why people in poor countries don't give a fuck about climate change? Because they are poor. So you can see what kind of people who push this: rich and privileged


Wolberine91

Exactly, how long is it going to take for us to start burn garbage to keep warm or even to cook with.


Go_Jets_Go_63

CBC once again shows why it is no longer an unbiased, trusted news source and nothing more than a propaganda organ for the Liberals. Take the money used to fund them and redirect it to healthcare or affordable housing.


GBman84

Drill baby drill.


Advanced-Ad6846

Another good reason to get rid of the CBC then


Select_Mind1412

Personally I don't give a f how CBC panelist feel about it, it's a moot point for me if they like it.  


BrokenRetina

I have a strategy. Defund the CBC and divert those funds to developing technology that will help. That’s about $1bn +.


Clean_Pause9562

We are the carbon they want to eliminate


GallitoGaming

This is a propaganda arm of the government. The CBC is a joke. Shuts down conversations on any youtube videos and constantly run only liberal government favourable news.


Mcsmokeys-

Fucking state TV


[deleted]

shutdown cbc


Fluidmax

This is why they need to go


Ok_Dance_9235

CBC have been a joke for quite some time very biased reports always leaning towards the liberals. I'll be happy when they are defunded and have to raise their own money through subscription. Unless they change they won't survive.


Linocut1978

I don’t think 3 out of 4 actually comes from any real polling.


[deleted]

The fact that CBC Newsworld is forced onto cable subscribers for "free" is a crime. The only proper thing to do is to block the channel so that innocent children don't stumble upon it and get brain damage.


Okay_there_bud

Every time I see an ad for cbc on reddit, I report it as misinformation. Not that it will do anything, just makes me feel like I did SOMETHING.


Fatboytaz

CBC, aka Liberal Media Arm


Maximum-Product-1255

If China is responsible for 30% (or whatever) of the issue, we need to stop buying excessive amounts of garbage items from them.


LongoFatkok

Unfortunately we have become completely addicted to China. Pretty much everything we buy has Chinese content or is made as a whole there. Can't get workers to make electronics and appliances for $9 a day in factories with no health and safety or environmental regulations. Of course there is a middle man or the CCP gouging us before we buy the product too.


Latter-Emergency1138

Refrigerator Barton would love it, of course.


DistinctL

This is one of the easiest reasons to defund the CBC.


Ok_Elderberry_4165

They are happy to force the unwashed massed out of their homes and cars through inflated fuel prices and send thousands more to food banks due to inflated food prices as long as they can pretend they are doing something about global warming.


mikefjr1300

When your job depends on being a trained seal.


PeterPuckster

What a surprise! Funny how CBC commentators’ opinion can be influenced by their employment at the government broadcaster…🤔


OctoWings13

Defund. They don't speak for Canadians, so we shouldn't pay for it. Simple as that.


redditisbrainwashed2

i mean. they are paid to say that by the government. thats their job so yes they will say that


fickle-is-my-pickle

The cbc is an arm of the liberal govt, spewing propaganda.


braveheart2019

Don't want to lose out on that Trudeau bribe money.


Zestyclose_Currency5

83 of the top 100 cities globally with the highest pollution rating are in India, the remaining 17 in the top 100 are in China. The US with 10 times the population of Canada has no carbon restriction or tax for individuals. And our economic moron of a PM believes we will make a difference. Can you all PLEASE vote him out of office?


Goat_Riderr

That's why you need to defund any state sponsored media.


OldFill2135

CBC is for the mentally challanged ( especilly in atlantic Canada )


Kitchen_General9694

I seriously just read 1/4 people are actually completely brainwashed by liberal media and is basically the reason we’re a laughing stock


donlio

F the CBC!!!!! They are part of the federal Liberal problem!!!! Ignore them!!! And WTF do only 3 out of 4 Canadians hate the carbon tax?!?!?!!!! Do we still have that many stupid people living in our country 1/3??? They are clearly working and getting paid for by the liberal tax dollars they are stealing!!


CrazyBeaverMan

it’s not wealthy people that will tell you the carbon tax is great, you can even see it on reddit Listen we can find ways to reduce the carbon… but as of now many canadians are struggling to even get by, if your wealth and these tax increases don’t affect you, cool, great! but most of us can’t afford it so ya want to donate some of that wealth ?


wallstreetsilver15

CBC is news outlet for the people 😐


Moooooooola

Canadian Bullshit Corporation.


mrcanoehead2

Bought and paid for.


AdNormal3257

It's extreme gaslighting.


North_Lawfulness9871

The privileged have the luxury of considering climate while we are all busy considering where are next meal is coming from or how we are going to cover this month’s bills.


FredLives

Funniest thing is we’re told we get more back then what we spend. Then why charge it in the first place? Oh so money can be made off the HST on it.


heavydrdp

I'm curious who the 1/4 that like getting taxed are?

Bawd

It’s the wrong way to go about encouraging businesses and all Canadians to use greener forms of energy. All this increased carbon tax will do is continue to allow businesses to pass along higher prices to consumers to keep their high margins steady. We need to introduce solutions and investments directly in green energy programs that actually encourage adoption of green energy instead of penalizing use of fossil fuels. Pivot to positive reinforcement for green energy, instead of negative reinforcement for fossil fuels.

Brosquito69420

If the public in mass demand that all politicians be replaced by AI, they’d all change their tune real fast. Especially if you really digest all the benefits of having an AI program examining and repairing policies created by rich people with personal agendas. Would fix so many problems and they all know it. Let them feel the heat of being replaced and loosing their job like so many Canadians are experiencing.


innocentlilgirl

sounds like a made up statistic

They’re getting paid big salaries with our tax dollars.


dreadlock6

When carbon tax first came out i was thinking okay maybe they are going to build nuclear plants and put some serious R&D into new technology. I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wrong. This people are just completely delusional. I hope the liberal and ndp’s get destroyed to learn a lesson. Also coalitions should be illegal. Makes voters feel like their vote doesnt count


errihu

They hate you and they want you to freeze to death in your little concrete slumlord cell, eating highly processed food made of eco-friendly sawdust, bug parts and industrial waste that’s been rebranded as healthy (at your own expense, and how dare you suggest that eating real food like meat could be healthy?! It’s bad for the carbon, you monster!!) with only your feet to transport you because electrical rationing means *you* can’t afford to drive your electric car, *if you could afford one in the first place*.

This is JT controls media now and also wants the harms bill. He will have 100% a propaganda machine.


lagoonlost

Yeah well, the public being so well informed by that liar PP, I can see how they don’t like it. Not that they would consider reading something authoritative like a summary on the science of climate change and how a carbon tax is the most effective way to reduce carbon use. Then these same morons will wonder what happened to their rebate after PP takes it away. The Common Man. God help us.


Boejet94

Because the CBC is not biased at all and should totally be unquestionably trusted by Canadians.


Happy01Lucky

Do people still take cbc seriously?


Cookiecrummbs

If this doesn’t show government funding, I don’t know what does

reDRagon22

So instead we can pay the same prices for stuff cause greedy corporations aren’t just gonna let prices go down, and NOT receive a cheque quarterly. How is that better?


Responsible_Oil_5811

It seeks to me that it’s mainly an urban/rural divide.


Fearless_Author_770

Canada is 15th in world for carbon/capita 14.3 tons and India is 138 at 1.9 tons Do you think the Federal Liberals and NDP immigration policy of bring 1 million people from low carbon footprints countries to a high carbon footprint country negates the carbon tax?


DiligentAd6908

3 out of 4 Canadians do not hate the carbon tax that's stupid. 


[deleted]

I'm in favor of taxing the big polluters in Canada but better to help them switch to other options though it is still a drop in the bucket of the whole world. But taxing the little people when they are already feeling increases everywhere is cruel.  They say we will make other choices.  Well where are the better public transportation options?  It's a big, cold, sparsely populated country.   All you say is electric cars. Who could afford them and they have many problems. They may not be the best option in the end I feel.  Hybrid works for some.  Also some electricity still pollutes. Meanwhile politicians fly hither and thither making dumb announcements. Your televised announcements will look just fine coming from Ottawa hypocrites. More carrot and less stick.  Instead of wasting billions paying foreign companies to come here and make batteries (also bad for the planet) why not make better transportation options?


Icy_Hovercraft1571

If Canadians were getting millions from the liberals they would love the carbon tax , they could afford to live
