RE:RE:RE:carbon taxGlad to hear that you are still looking down at the grass as opposed to looking up at it!!!
Just a point of clarification, there already is a clawback on the OAS if your income is above a certain level.
That said, I do agree with your sentiment. When Governments put their thumb on the scale, most of the time all they do is screw up the natural business/economic ecosystem and create problems elsewhere. IMO it is far better for Governments to let the system work things out naturally and if anything facilitate the process by reducing or eliminating roadblocks.
This why I have said here many times that the best investment strategy is to recognize that Governments will continue to screw things up and put your money on companies that have solutions to the inevitable problems that Governments will create. This is in part, one of my principal criticisms of SU is that with their current large FCF, they don't seem to be investing in such areas but rather are doubling down on oil production. So in that sense they are a one trick pony and if things don't work out like Migraine envisions then investors in SU will wish they had invested elsewhere.
