SCRAP THE CARBON TAX SCHEME

The whole carbon tax and redistribution of taxes is stupid. Scrap this stupidity and stop subsidies to the oil companies instead.

The gouging the oil companies are doing is deterrent enough to push us toward reduction in consumption. When the tax dollars and tax forgiveness stops flowing to them they will either get even gougeier or go broke. The billions of dollars thrown at them should instead be going to practical and proven alternatives to keep people warm, well fed and somewhat mobile.

Trudeau's family fortune was made in energy and maybe that's the problem.
