Summary
The carbon tax is a scam, but it's a scam the Liberals are using to make money off of the carbon tax. The carbon tax hurts everyone except a few fringe people, and the only people who are actually making money from it are the people who don't buy things. Why are people so stupid?

All right, Canada, it's everyone's favorite time of year. It's when the carbon tax goes up.
00:00:06.060
But the best part about the carbon tax increase is by far and away the gaslighting, where you are
00:00:11.400
told that, no, no, no, you're actually making money off this tax. Oh, everyone's getting,
00:00:17.660
getting, we're going to be millionaires. You get $122 every three months. That's like 500 bucks a
00:00:24.240
year. We're basically millionaires. No, billionaires. Everyone's going to become a billionaire
00:00:28.540
because we get 500 bucks from the government. Maybe we'll get 600 bucks. That would give us
00:00:32.660
trillions of dollars. I don't know. I went to school at Harvard University, so I don't really
00:00:37.740
know much. This brings us to the, why is this so stupid? How are people so stupid? Now, I'm going
00:00:45.760
to make a definition difference between stupid and dumb. Dumb is a physical impediment. That's low
00:00:52.340
IQ. And this isn't a problem with dumb people. Dumb people are not the problem here. Stupid people
00:00:57.240
are. Stupidity is the ability to reason yourself into crazy, crazy thoughts like, hey, I'm making
00:01:03.580
money off a tax. That's a stupid person thing, right? And the fact that we have many economists
00:01:08.960
signing on letters saying, oh, the carbon tax is a great idea. This is stupidity, right? People don't
00:01:14.920
go to Harvard and get dumber. Harvard turns people into stupid. They make, they make them stupider
00:01:21.140
because they think race communism will save the world. All right. The carbon tax affects
00:01:27.520
everyone except for a few fringe people. There are some people who are actually making money off
00:01:33.740
the carbon tax. These would be people who do one, don't buy any things because where the carbon tax
00:01:40.900
rebate happens is on gas, right? So what the carbon tax rebate figures out is, all right,
00:01:47.160
how much does this average person, depending on the family, whatever, spend on gas? And then you
00:01:53.040
get a rebate based on the increase you're supposed to pay at the pumps, right? Because we're making gas
00:01:59.780
more expensive. So what you're putting in your car, you get a rebate on that. And let's say,
00:02:04.860
hypothetically, the PBO is saying, all right, if you spend the average of like $400 more on gas,
00:02:10.940
by this, you're getting 500. You're technically making money there, but you're not making money because,
00:02:16.620
now the liberals cut out everything to the butt. And then I pretended that the PBO is backing them
00:02:22.020
up, but it's not because they're pointing out economics. When you increase the price of fuel,
00:02:28.020
you increase the price of everything. So if you don't buy any things, then this doesn't affect you.
00:02:32.720
But most things require, or everything requires energy to make. Think of a wooden chair, right?
00:02:38.620
Here it's a wooden chair, right? You have the energy cost of, right, logging. You got to knock down the
00:02:44.320
wood, right? Then you got to transport that wood from the force to a processing plant. You then
00:02:48.960
process it. Then you take that process wood, you transport it again, how? On a truck with gas to
00:02:54.260
a manufacturing thing. It's then cut and shaped. And then at some point, it's assembled somewhere
00:02:59.240
else, right? You put the nuts and bolts in, you make a chair, and then you transport it again to
00:03:03.320
market, right? All those different transportation things and energy things, all the price of doing that
00:03:08.020
has now increased. So the price of the chair has now gone up. The carbon tax does not take into
00:03:12.300
account the price of the chair. So if you don't buy any things, if you just don't buy things,
00:03:17.300
crushing it. You're getting 500 bucks a year. You're basically, again, a billionaire.
00:03:21.180
500 plus 500, a billion, right? I can do math. Put me in the Liberal Party.
00:03:26.820
You then have people don't buy things. But another thing is food prices, right? Because how do you grow
00:03:32.340
food, right? You need combines and all these machines. They require what? Gas and energy and diesel and
00:03:38.020
all that. And then again, they're created. And then even then, food has to be transported to
00:03:42.740
market. How do you transport it? With energy, right? So the cost of food goes up. So if you
00:03:47.400
don't buy things and you don't eat food, right? So if you literally inject enough chlorophyll into your
00:03:53.420
veins that you can go outside, take your sugar off, stand in the sun and do photosynthesis,
00:03:58.140
and that's how you convert glucose to energy, you're crushing it. Again, you're killing it.
00:04:04.920
This tax is free. You are making money. You're the person making money. So if you don't buy any
00:04:09.940
things and you don't eat any food or buy any food, you are crushing it. You're getting 500 bucks a
00:04:16.360
year. You're basically a billionaire. You're the next Galen Weston. You're doing great. Everyone else,
00:04:21.580
so these are people who live in reality, buy things and eat food, they are getting crushed by the carbon
00:04:27.620
tax. And we have an even bigger problem again with the gaslighting, where we have the economist
00:04:32.580
signing a letter saying, oh, wow, we're all making money. And if you look at this letter the economist
00:04:38.620
signed, it's pure nonsense. But the way we have this sort of expert economy, and the experts are
00:04:45.220
getting out of control, is they've created a religion around climate change. I'm not telling
00:04:50.360
anyone anything they don't know, or I'm scaring some people who are newly leaving the Conservative
00:04:55.140
Party, because maybe they're Jewish or Hindu or East Asian, and the liberals are just being like,
00:05:00.180
yeah, you can kill these people. We don't care. And you're like, oh, what's going on?
00:05:04.820
The way we are sort of talking about climate is the economists, we sort of set this sort of
00:05:10.000
religious tenet, right? That salvation is the primary goal. And this is reducing climate change.
00:05:15.640
Now, there's no hard metric on this or climate. It's just climate's in the ether, there's CO2,
00:05:20.440
there's something. And to reduce the climate change, which is a religious tenet, because there's
00:05:25.020
no functional definition, it's a religious definition, we must need a climate plan, right?
00:05:29.440
And then we compare all these different crazy climate plans, and then we say which ones are
00:05:33.140
the best based off of our general feelings. And the most insane part of this is they're saying,
00:05:38.340
oh, the carbon tax, then you have a bunch of economists saying, oh, the carbon tax does not
00:05:42.320
create inflation. And this is malicious and malpractice. And this is where the experts need
00:05:47.260
to be stopped, because they don't understand even what they're talking about, or they do understand,
00:05:51.300
but they're giving in for, again, religious reasons, right? They're priests, and they're
00:05:57.020
being told that denying reality is the only path to salvation. Inflation, okay, you increase the carbon
00:06:03.800
tax, that's the number one driver, way to drive inflation. Now, if you read the letter, they're
00:06:09.100
blaming it all Russia, Ukraine, that's what's causing inflation, is Russia and Ukraine the only thing.
00:06:13.060
I'm not saying this war doesn't increase prices, it does, but nowhere near the level of COVID and
00:06:18.460
climate policies, this would be third, we could say war. The way inflation is calculated,
00:06:25.140
as I've said before, is on the CPI. The CPI, Consumer Price Index, is a metric designed that
00:06:31.040
when inflation is running out of control, it's designed to create the illusion that inflation
00:06:36.640
is going down. That's what the CPI is actually designed to do, because if inflation hits certain
00:06:42.060
levels, there are congressional triggers that have to happen in the US, they created a metric that
00:06:47.080
would never, ever trigger, because it goes down as inflation goes up, and this is our primary way to
00:06:51.740
measure inflation. How do you do this? Okay, the CPI measures just raw goods, but it's the key flaw in
00:06:58.740
the CPI is it does not account for substitutions or reductions. So the Consumer Price Index is like how
00:07:05.080
the average someone spends in a certain thing. So like, it can kind of measure inflation if things
00:07:11.860
like, you know, car mechanics, that it can kind of be accurate there. But that's so small in the
00:07:17.380
economy. The big one is grocery stores and food, right? This is this is the number one way the CPI lies
00:07:24.200
to you. So let's say, I'm just gonna do some raw numbers, make it like it's you need your budget is
00:07:31.680
$100 per week to feed your family. And you can just to make this simple, you can get $100 worth of steak
00:07:39.560
or triple A beef, whatever it is. And this provides, you know, x level of protein, let's say 100, you know,
00:07:46.580
100 protein units that I've just created, you can get that for $100 worth of steak per week,
00:07:53.220
that's within your budget, you do that. Okay, inflation hits, you know, 10%. All right, so the
00:07:59.840
price of steak has gone up 10%. You cannot afford $110 per week, but you can, you can afford if you
00:08:06.420
push it $105 a week. So in order to get 100 units of protein to feed your family and keep them alive,
00:08:13.480
like that baseline, you would then substitute steak for chicken, and you can spend $105, you can get the
00:08:19.260
same, you know, you get to 100 protein units, through chicken, you spend $105. So what the CPI
00:08:24.720
now says is inflation is at 5%. It's actually at 10%. The price of everything has gone up 10%. But
00:08:30.520
you're spending 5% more on your budget. So CPI says inflation is at 5%, even though prices are going up
00:08:37.460
at 10%. Inflation continues to go on, things go up another 10%. Okay, you now can't afford this level
00:08:44.140
of chicken. So people do another thing is they either say, Alright, we're actually going to go
00:08:48.880
below the 100 threshold. So either I will go to 95 protein units, or I'll make another substitution to
00:08:57.080
soy based or, you know, I'll go to soybeans and do that. So you have a thing where, you know, so you can
00:09:05.700
say, Alright, now I can stretch my budget, maybe to $107. So you're spending more, but inflation is now
00:09:14.640
going down, because it's not inflated the much as much as you spent, right, you spent an extra 5% that
00:09:21.120
time, this time, you're spending an extra, like, around 2%, let's say, just under, right, you're
00:09:26.360
spending extra 2%. Oh, inflation has gone down from 5% to 2%. But the price of everything, again, went up by
00:09:30.620
10%, causing you to make these concessions. Now inflation comes down when things get so bad, things get
00:09:35.960
so bad in the economy, because prices go up so much that eventually, you know, the mother, single mother
00:09:41.380
or the parents say, we're going to start skipping meals, so our kids don't have to skip meals. So instead of
00:09:46.740
like making substitutions for different proteins, you go, Okay, we're just going to spend the $105 we can, but we're
00:09:52.460
now going to use that to buy 90 units of protein when we need 100. We're just going to, as the as the
00:09:58.140
adults, eat less food, consume less energy, starve a bit, but keep keep our kids alive. These are the
00:10:04.520
decisions people make. And when people start to make these tough decisions, these really bad economic
00:10:08.640
decisions, right, people are spending less money, and inflation is solved, even though the price of
00:10:13.960
everything's going up, that's real inflation. The CPI then says, Look, we fixed inflation, because people
00:10:19.320
are now spending $100 again at the grocery store. Congratulations, Justin Trudeau. And again, everything at the
00:10:25.440
grocery store is transported there. So when you increase the cost of fuel, you take everything at
00:10:30.880
law applies, you're gonna see April's April 1, you're gonna see, and Jagmeet is going to have a
00:10:34.820
conniption, Galen Weston, but no, the price of everything is going to go up. It's going to hurt
00:10:40.820
the people struggling the most, they're going to make some very tough decisions for their families.
00:10:45.280
And sorry about this, Trudeau's fault. And then they're going to be spending less money at the
00:10:49.700
grocery store. You, if you're, you know, upper middle class or middle class, and you can still
00:10:54.400
afford this, you're going to be paying a lot more money. And but you're going to be gaslit by the
00:10:59.600
government saying, Look, we've actually solved inflation because we've destroyed poor people.
00:11:04.560
And then ironically, we're going to claim that we're actually uplifting these poor people because
00:11:08.180
they're making money off the carbon tax. This is how the experts lie to you. This is weaponized
00:11:13.040
stupidity. And it's the number one thing driving Western civilization into the ground. We must stop
00:11:19.200
it. Everyone needs basic common sense. If we had a society where someone tried to claim you're
00:11:25.800
actually making money off a tax, and we had a healthy society, we'd go, No, you were lying to us,
00:11:30.860
never be that ridiculous. The political party would humiliate it, and that'd be the end of it. But
00:11:34.800
because this lie persists to some ding-dongs, overly educated ding-dongs to be specific,
00:11:40.720
the price of everything will get worse and worse and worse. And it's again, destroying the most
00:11:45.220
vulnerable families, we'll be forced to make some tough choices. And we will then celebrate
00:11:49.360
the destruction of our weakest and most vulnerable people as a great economic success because we are
