Here’s a fun one from the land of maple syrup and Tim Horton’s, from the Toronto Sun editorial board, not exactly paragons of ‘climate change’ skepticism
EDITORIAL: The carbon tax cover up continues
It’s not rocket science. At least it shouldn’t be. Although the way the Liberals are acting you’d think it’s a superhuman feat to disclose how much carbon taxes are going to ding the average Canadian family.
On Thursday evening, the Conservatives used the legislative tools at their disposal to keep MPs around late into the night to vote on a motion that would see the Liberals release a needlessly secret report that gives up the carbon tax goods.
Back in 2015 bureaucrats at the federal finance department calculated how much a federal carbon tax levy was going to cost.
Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre recently filed an access to information request to receive the document. But when he got it, the pertinent information was blacked out. The data was redacted.
Poilievre is now challenging this, with the Office of the Information Commissioner investigating whether the Liberals in fact broke access to information laws by failing to disclose the data.
You’d think if they’re such proponents of the carbon tax, then they’d be all gung ho to talk about it and all of its details. The truth though is that carbon tax fans never want to discuss the costs. Because they know how high they are and they know this will turn the people off of them.
This is scandalous. The people have a right to know.
But, the Warmists do not want you to know the results of their carbon taxes/fees. They do not want you to know where the money is going. They do not want you to know about the artificial rise in the cost of living. They do not want you to know about how this hurts the economy. They really, really like their slush funds and empowered government control.
There are a number of estimates out there from private and academic sources. The lowest of them suggests families will pay around $600 per year on average. It could be more.
They do not want Canadians to know.
