RE:RE:RE:RE:Energy pricesTommy boy, you really need to get into math. Do you have ANY idea how much natural gas you need to burn to emit 1 ton of carbon? About 18000 cubic meters. I use about 3000 cubic meters. So even at 170/ton. My carbon tax will be about $28. I am pretty confident I will still be heating with gas, although I may install a hybrid heatpump system.

I suspect that by 2030 when the carbon tax is $170/tonne, everyone will ditch their gas furnace out of financial necessity, unless they want to pay close to $1,000 a month to heat their home in the winter.

If people start to hurt he may give them tax credits but he WANTS high fossil fuel prices. Its great for his program. It also allows more govt borrowing as it backstop the CAD. High energy prices is a WIN for Trudeau.

There's real stagflation coming that is going to require government intervention in the market. People can't afford these cost of living increases while oil companies are making billions in profit.
