Summary
Justin Trudeau is stepping down as Prime Minister of Canada, but what does that mean for the future of the carbon tax? Will there be a new Liberal leader soon, and will he or she be willing to axe the current carbon tax that's been in place since 2015?

You know, I actually gave them some real advice.
00:00:09.900
I said that if you actually say it louder, we've learned in the House of Commons, if
00:00:13.380
you repeat it, if you say it louder, if that is your talking point, people will totally
00:00:20.620
Thursday, January the 9th at 5.07am, again with the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:27.700
I may have broken Godwin's Law right off the top of this video.
00:00:32.460
Godwin's Law says the longer something is discussed on the internet, the closer you
00:00:40.280
But I don't think it's a completely wrong comparison when you talk about what J.G.
00:00:47.640
When Catherine McKenna, former environment minister under Trudeau, says in a candid moment in
00:00:53.120
a pub, it looks like, the more you yell it, the louder you yell it, the more people believe
00:00:57.200
People will believe pretty much anything, and I think that is the case.
00:00:59.640
And I think that's the case with today's topic, okay?
00:01:02.520
And the topic is going to be climate change and the carbon tax, all right?
00:01:07.260
And the reason why I'm bringing this up is because of this article right here in the
00:01:11.140
Carbon tax needs to be re-examined now that Trudeau's done, say, liberal MPs.
00:01:19.460
I was thinking about this last week prior to Trudeau stepping down.
00:01:22.680
And I was thinking about a leadership campaign.
00:01:25.480
Would there be anybody in a leadership campaign for the Liberals willing to do away with the
00:01:31.660
carbon tax, or at least get rid of the hike that's coming on April 1st?
00:01:35.440
Because right now the timing is this, all right?
00:01:40.380
Some people seem to think we might have a new liberal leader by that point.
00:01:46.000
But let's just say on March 24th, we have a new liberal leader.
00:01:52.560
Will that leader be wise enough to stand up and say, we're not going to hike the carbon
00:01:58.840
Because this has been Pierre Polyab's big thing, right?
00:02:12.880
So will a liberal actually stand up and admit that this is not good for Canadians?
00:02:19.320
You know, there has been a herd mentality when it comes to liberals.
00:02:23.440
And I looked at, you know, I know what a herd mentality is, but I wanted to find out a
00:02:27.360
So this is what came up right off the top, the tendency for individuals to think and behave
00:02:33.020
like others in their group rather than individuals.
00:02:42.000
And, you know, it said right off the top, you know, liberal.
00:02:46.840
And these people have been lying to you through their herd mentality for years.
00:02:53.620
They sit there like nodding nabobs behind him.
0.93
00:03:01.120
And this is what he's been telling you about the carbon tax for years.
00:03:07.700
I know you hate to see him, but I will finish this up with a pure Polyev bit here.
1.00
00:03:12.560
So you get a little bit of him before the end of this video.
00:03:15.440
This is Trudeau on how you're going to do better with the carbon tax.
00:03:18.860
The price on pollution puts more money in the pockets out of eight of ten Canadian families
00:03:25.080
and fights climate change while building a stronger, more competitive future.
00:03:30.700
A family of four in Alberta is going to receive $1,800 over the coming year with our price on pollution.
00:03:40.720
That is more than the average family will pay with the carbon price.
00:03:47.800
This is what he's been telling you over and over and over again for years.
00:03:57.340
It becomes a truth like Catherine McKenna said.
00:04:01.000
And Polyev has been absolutely brutal against the Liberals and has been hammering them.
00:04:05.260
He's got them by the short and curlies on this issue.
00:04:07.780
And finally, Liberals are starting to see the light on this and are changing their mind.
00:04:17.080
They've been lying to you about this for years.
00:04:24.060
Carbon tax needs to be re-examined now that Trudeau's done, say, Liberal MPs.
00:04:27.940
Now, I'm not going to read this whole article to you because a lot of it at the bottom
00:04:31.240
talks about the people who may be running for the Liberal leadership.
00:04:34.320
But if we move ahead here to a couple of paragraphs, there should be no policy sacred cow, said
00:04:40.480
Marcus Pawlowski, who represents the writing of Thunder Bay, Rainy River, quote, everything
00:04:47.280
Now he finally sees the light and thinks we should be having a debate about the carbon
00:04:54.660
And the truth will be revealed in just a moment.
00:04:58.140
For Atlantic MPs like New Brunswick's Wayne Long and Ken McDonald of Newfoundland and Labrador,
00:05:07.340
That means the party being unafraid of distancing itself from Trudeau's legacy of the carbon tax.
00:05:12.600
And if we move down just a little bit, McDonald, who represents a rural writing, agrees it's
00:05:19.620
Quote, it does make things more expensive regardless of what people say about it.
00:05:28.160
What Mr. McDonald, who's been sitting behind Trudeau in the House of Commons for years,
00:05:43.460
And then, Pierre Polyev is kind of neutered on this issue completely.
00:05:48.360
I'd like them to rebate us some money for all we've had to spend over the years.
00:05:52.640
Not only do they think that this tax, or have been lying to you about this tax for years,
00:05:58.780
they think you've been stupid about it as well.
00:06:01.940
He nonetheless believes, now this is talking about Kevin Lamoureux, MP from Winnipeg North.
00:06:06.400
He nonetheless believes the liberals left the policy susceptible to a tax from Polyev
00:06:11.060
because the government failed to help people understand how it worked,
00:06:19.160
You're too stupid to understand how it connects to the climate.
00:06:23.940
You can't just shut off CO2 and change the climate.
00:06:30.400
They want to get rid of oil and gas, and they want you to stop driving your car.
00:06:34.880
So you drive up prices so much, so you have to use less.
00:06:38.680
That's not the responsibility of the federal government.
00:06:41.740
But this is the big lie, and it's going to be fascinating to see what happens on this
00:06:46.440
when it comes to the new leader of the Liberal Party.
00:06:51.780
I'll let him get the last word on this, talking about how the carbon tax affects you
00:06:56.740
and how you're not getting more money back by paying into it.
00:07:01.980
By the way, this is an appropriate day to ask you because I checked my bank account this morning.
00:07:05.360
I got a couple hundred bucks from Justin Trudeau.
00:07:07.320
So, and then he will say, well, here's the problem.
00:07:16.060
He took it away from you when you were gassing up your car, when you were buying your groceries,
00:07:21.380
with food that was taxed when the farmer used fuel to produce it, when the trucker used fuel to ship it.
00:07:28.460
He took it away from you when he prevented you from getting that raise you didn't know you might have got.
00:07:33.840
But for the fact that Bell is paying a carbon tax to heat the place,
00:07:39.140
the parliamentary budget officer has demonstrated that 60% of families will pay more in carbon taxes
