Tell us how Pee Pee is going to address Climate change?
Carney platform promises $130B in new spending, deficits until 2029 :Heart Attack:
- Thread starter DesRicardo
- Start date
There's a difference between Spending and Investment.
Majority of Canadians are not buying Pee Pee's total and utter BS!!
You've made it clear to me that you have nothing to say that is of interest to me. I'm going to add you to my Ignore list for that reason. Please don't expect a reply if you quote me again.
You think Trudeau single handedly made decisions without the support of his party for a decade? hahaha the brainwashing continues.
Look up the word "scapegoat" and come back to tell us what you have learned.
Tax credits to businesses who improve their infrastructure to be more green. In other words stop charging poor people and go after real polluters with a carrot instead of a stick.
The buck stops with the Prime Minister.
So yes, the PM chooses people within his party that execute his agenda and policies.
They are not a hive mind.
Going by your rule atleast a minority of the CPC are extreme far right.
That means everyone including Pierre share those beliefs. Right?
So we should not vote them in.
Either way you lose this argument. lmao.
But what measure would you use to determine if they are "more green". Surely you're not tying tax rebates to carbon output? Like some kind of Carbon Tax Credit?
Unlikely. Half of Canadians report living paycheck to paycheck. Some of them are certainly there due to circumstances outside their control, but the majority of them are choosing to operate in such a fiscal situation by spending beyond their means. If they can't balance their own books, are they really going to hold the government to it?
To equipment upgrades. You know, like home tax credits?
Carbon taxes are a scam. And worse they say it's ok to pollute and pay for it. Better to do tax credits fir equipment, then gradually regulated to require the upgrades allowing time to adjust, while requiring new businesses to comply.
The climate changes regardless of what amount of CO2 humans produce. Its been that way for billions of years.
The best response to climate change is to mitigate through preparation and adaptation. Stop developing so much on the waterfront which in Toronto for example has caused increased flood damage to low lying areas by the lake.
In Canada we have a government program called SR&ED. I'd look at revamping that program and expanding it to help foster innovation, particularly as it relates to environmental technologies. Canada's rates of innovation have lagged modern economies for decades because of the ineffectiveness/lack of marketing of the tax credits available.
I'm kind of puzzled about which part of my post you think is anecdotal. The part about living paycheck to paycheck? I assure you, I didn't canvas my inner circle to come up with that.
‘Financially paralyzed’: Half of Canadians living bill-to-bill, poll finds | Globalnews.ca
Nearly half added they could no longer afford to maintain their standard of living, while nearly a third said their finances were in a constant state of chaos.

Like you have stated anything that is factual. We can put one another on ignore. Will not miss your rightie POVs!!
How Does Canada's Huge Debt Compare to Other Countries?
Canadian debt as a proportion of the economy has fallen a little since the pandemic but still weighed in at a hefty 106% of GDP in 2024, according to the IMF. And at 9.3% of government income the same year, the share of government revenue it gobbles up has been steadily increasing.
To put a cash figure on it, in 2023, the federal government spent the equivalent of $32.5 billion (£25.7bn) on servicing its debt – around half as much again as the $21.8 billion (£17.2bn) that it spent on childcare benefits. This would not have included the interest that provincial and territorial governments paid on their own debts.
So we're paying more than $32 billion dollars per year in interest to creditors on previous Federal government borrowing, and that's going to continue to rise. That doesn't include Provincial and Municipal debt. I'm sure glad that I'm not young.

The Conservatives are not to be trusted in anyway. They will push Canada into a deeper recession no doubt!!
Climate change as a result of human emissions has exacerbated Climate change to an extent that several Nations are now feeling the pinch.
If this is not fully addressed globally then we can expect our children and grandchildren to be negatively impacted in the not too distant future.
The Toronto Waterfront has a huge concrete infrastructure that cannot cope with the heavy precipitation during the heavy rainstorms as compared to the more rural waterfront regions!!
