Last month, he added a second carbon tax that, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, will “require producers to reduce the carbon content of their fuels or be forced to purchase credits.”
The Aztecs' model program for managing meteorological events didn't work so great, and perhaps our leaders feel that removing the actual blood-letting aspects of it will do the magic trick.
We do fail to teach our children well. Might be time to create a comprehensive timeline of human attempts to tame the implacable forces of nature, with an analysis of how well they worked.
And my now frequently-reiterated reminder: We ain't modern. We're just now. We can't fix the biggest things no better than anyone who came before us. We can just nibble at the edges, and the edges keep shifting their boundaries.
Anyway--good piece, Chris. Always happy to see your publication credits increase.

"He criticized the current government for burdening “smaller businesses and family-owned farms” with the cost of climate adaptation and said the Greens would instead favor “a government-backed transition plan that injects significant resources into helping our communities and small to medium size companies to enter the green economy in a way that doesn’t hurt working families throughout the country.”'
Ah yes, so to repair the economic devastation caused by the carbon tax, they'll appropriate even more money from the productive economy in order to redistribute it, thus ensuring the economic damage is even larger, but more evenly spread.
Climate change is indeed a global problem. No one individual, no small country, can have a big impact in reducing pollution. So you propose, we do nothing?
What do you propose?
It would be great if you had a really good idea about how to alleviate the problem.
"If Canada were a Chinese province, it would rank sixteenth in population...."
Wait I thought Canada was a Chinese province.

What can we do about the eau’d’Turd that seeps across the Canadian border? Carbon is nothing compared to that noxious stink.
