No, but you argue like larue, pushing 20 year old talking points that ignore reality and new tech.
Many of the realities of 20 years ago still apply. If they did not, they would not need subsidies and regulations to have more EVs. If it were a better product, people would buy it but as it stands it is not. Norway did not have a far-left lunatic like Trudeau who blocked pipelines. He had the opportunity to cash in and made a deal to export our LNG to Germany and Japan, deals worth multi-billions of dollars. This would have allowed us to have a 50% reduction in taxes and that money could have been used to construct many charging stations. Instead, Norway cashed in and made the deal with Germany, the deal if worth over $30 billion. Norway is a rich country because of its oil exports, they got the funds to build many charging stations and are not bringing hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers giving them a free hotel and monthly paychecks.
Let's just stop there and do some basic math.

Now you see what I mean. Do you not see how the Liberal government is scamming everyone with carbon taxes?? Looool They claim it is for the environment yet they subsidize the oil industry. Time to wake up. The Trudeau / Carney Liberals are liars and use climate change as a way to add more taxes so they can make more money to fund their spending spree.Let's just stop there and do some basic math.
Does renewable energy get $30 billion a year in subsidies?
Is it renewable energy that can't exist without subsidies or fossil fuels?
Update: Canada's oil and gas industry received $29.6B in subsidies, financing in 2024, report finds
The subsidies and financing dwarf the previous years total and come as Ottawa said it would wind down direct financial support for the industry
Of course and from regulating ppl as in prostitution laws and covid mandates. Government's role should be limited to enforcing property rights, enforcing the law, protection of the country, and infrastructure. The smaller the government, the better. Big government is the reason corporations are at an advantage, they got the resources to get favors and policies that benefit them.
That's not what Canadians want or what we have.
They are being misled by Sanders and the like that Socialism is good. A lot of Canadians do not want Socialism either. You already proven yourself to be a Marxist. Read the Communist Manifesto, you repeat all that is in it. How did that work out for the USSR or Venezuela??
We are socialist, its all just about the degrees.
That is not Socialism. Public roads is part of the responsibility of the government. Infrastructure falls on their responsibility. But you confirmed that you support a wealth redistribution scheme, that is Socialist. Taxing people and redistributing it to others is Marxist. Something the Trudeau government has been doing. All is bad. Welfare should not even exist, it is ridiculous to have. Look at healthcare, it is a disaster. People cannot find family doctors or wait hours in Emergency and the Liberals are piling hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers who are putting more pressure on healthcare. There is so much mismanagement and corruption in the Liberal party. I am for a minarchist government.
Sounds like your dream state would be more like Somali.
Absolutely not. I SAID micharny, NOT anarchy. You do not understand the difference. I am talking about places like Switzerland.
You'd hate Switzerland, higher taxes and more social services.
Quoting from a media source that is getting multi million dollar paychecks from the Liberal government. I would take that with a grain of salt. Lots of biases. Why do you not explain in your own words how is Poilievre like Trump??
Lol In your dreams.
Ah, you want to turn Canada into a tax haven.Lol In your dreams.
^^^^^ Switzerland has low taxes, much lower then Canada and it is a true free market in the truest sense. Also everyone knows that Switzerland is a tax haven. The USA has been putting a lot of pressure in Switzerland to charge more taxes btw. Here is a picture of the tax rate View attachment 429056
There are many other countries with low tax rates and they got public services. In fact their infrastructure is far better then Canada. Bermuda, Andorra, UAE, Cayman Islands. They work very well and attract many wealthy individuals. What does Canada attract? Asylum seekers wanting to get freebies? See before Trudeau I was a Marxist like you, I used to call myself a Democratic Socialist till Trudeau came along. Since then my eyes opened. I never seen so much corruption. He caused a housing crisis, I am paying more and more taxes but getting no benefit from it. I see asylum seekers getting everything, free hotels, monthly paychecks, healthcare far better then any off can hope to get even from work insurance. They cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Last year Doug Ford asked for millions of dollars from the Federal government for asylum seekers. But you see we taxpayers pay for it. They are leechers, a drain on our resources. They contribute nothing to the country.
Financial assistance for Gazans arriving in Canada now available
Canada remains deeply concerned about the catastrophic conditions faced by people in Gaza. While it is extremely difficult for people to exit Gaza at this time, Canada is making sure the necessary supports are in place for Gazans as they start to arrive in our country.www.canada.ca
^^^^^ Canada wants to bring thousands of Gazan refugees. Upon arrival each adult will get a $3000 check, and each child a $1500 upon landing. So a family with 3 kids, will get $10,500. These people tend to have a lot of kids and they got money. This does not include all the other social benefits they will get. Do not forget the thousands of Sudanese refugees they will bring.
^^^^ Here is more. The Feds wanted $411 million for refugee healthcare. This was a program that the Harper government cut and he was right to do so. It was not fair to make Canadian taxpayers pay for foreigners which was much more generous then what Canadians get. The refugees under this program get free dental care, prescription medication, psychologists, hearing aids, oxygen equipment, home care, among other things. Canadians do not even get these things, we got to pay for that. Even with coverage we pay for, the coverage is not 100% for some of these things, and they get it all for free.
The so called Scandanavian countries, welfare states work from them because they do not got uncontrolled immigration like Canada. They manage their public services very efficiently. I am okay to pay taxes if it is spent and managed properly. But wait, it is impossible to find a family doctor. You need a specialist, but no one ever answers the phone. You go to the emergency and you wait hours. I pay my taxes but am not getting the service. Garbage collection had got cut, at least here in Montreal. Many other things has been cut, but taxes keep on going up. We pay for stupid things like bike paths. Our mayor is wasting money to put bike paths and turning streets into one lane one way streets while the population grows.
As you can see these are my reasons for despising a big welfare state. And one last thing are covid mandates. They locked us up and shut down so many businesses while government did not loose one dime. Doug Ford is a Liberal. He imposed the longest lockdowns. They forced vaccines with vaccine passports. These are things I will never forgive. Carney is Trudeau 2.0. Worst most corrupt people ever.
Excellent post for comparing your views on CO2 levels.
When you compare Trudeau to "Marxism" then it is obvious where you the source for your extremist POVs.
And you can move to Cuba instead of convincing millions of people that Marxism is good. On April 28 the voters will decide which party will lead.
