Juno News - Get ready for a SECOND carbon tax

What's the only thing worse than one carbon tax in Canada? Two, a second carbon tax. And apparently the federal Liberals are planning to do just that with the Throne Speech in the weeks ahead. So says John Iveson in a recent column in the Postmedia papers.

00:00:00.000 what's the only thing worse than one carbon tax in Canada two a second carbon tax and apparently

00:00:11.740 the federal liberals are planning to do just that with the throne speech wowsers hard to believe

00:00:17.960 say it ain't so but it is so reports John Iveson in a recent column in the post media papers

00:00:23.320 talking about the Canada fuel standard something that's quietly been bubbling along for a couple

00:00:28.280 years now the liberals have always had it in the back of their minds and John reports that this is

00:00:32.820 going to be unveiled in the Canada Gazette in the weeks ahead that's the publication where the

00:00:37.480 government has to formally put notification of all different sort of legislative mechanisms

00:00:42.280 ordering counsel all these new things that the government is in fact doing Canada fuel standard

00:00:47.500 what on earth is that it doesn't well sound like a tax well nothing does the carbon tax is not actually

00:00:53.300 called a tax on your on your income tax it's described as a what is the climate action

00:00:59.060 incentive so they come up with all these fancy phrases to call taxes anything but but this is

00:01:04.560 one that really has industry concern this Canada fuel standard because it is a regulatory regime

00:01:10.160 on emissions by producers and a lot of people concerned about this that it will be a 13 tax on

00:01:16.380 fuel that industry uses that regular Canadians will be hit in the wallets with their home heating bills

00:01:22.040 and when they pay up the pumps and a whole bunch of other consumer products so basically just like

00:01:27.800 the carbon tax already except there's another one now the sell on all of this it's expected that the

00:01:33.980 environment minister Prime Minister Justin Studeau himself probably Christy Freeland they're going to step

00:01:37.920 forward and say oh but this is going to imagine near us into the new green economy it's going to be

00:01:42.760 all these fancy new green jobs it's going to be a clean this a clean that just like they said with the

00:01:48.020 first carbon tax so I guess if you're a voter out there who's in love with the current carbon tax well

00:01:53.080 you're going to be head over heels in love perhaps doubly so or maybe you were a voter who said okay

00:01:58.020 fine I care about the environment I don't know if this is really the way to deal with these issues

00:02:02.580 this sort of tax uh on everybody but fine so be it I'll accept this just once maybe the second sort

00:02:08.900 of secret sly double carbon tax will be enough to push some people over the edge and say uh-uh I'm just

00:02:15.140 not buying this green agenda anymore particularly now during the pandemic when we know emissions are

00:02:20.500 reduced and we know a lot of people are suffering right now financially is this really the right

00:02:25.480 time to do this it really shows that this throne speech Justin Studeau and the liberals are really

00:02:30.140 showing their true colors no wonder a lot of liberal sources have been stepping forward in the media senior

00:02:34.860 staffers and so forth coming forward anonymously saying watch out Canada even we're concerned we are on

00:02:40.680 the liberal team and we got a link to the press how worried we are about really the far left approach

00:02:46.000 Justin Studeau is planning to take the country in the weeks ahead further really than we've ever seen
