In my previous blog post I started to lay out the various economy-killing legislation and policies that Trudeau and his green cabal have in store for Canadians in 2023. These include the Carbon Tax, which is set to increase on April 1, 2023, and the Clean Fuel Standard (or the Second Carbon Tax), which will come into force July 1, 2023. I’d like to touch on yet another piece of legislation that the Trudeau government is set to table in 2023.
Everything the Trudeau government touches seems to get worse. That’s certainly been the case these past three years when it comes to the issue of energy affordability.
For years now we’ve been hearing about the wonders of electric vehicles (EVs). Enormous amounts of money have been spent by governments to entice people to buy them, from subsidies to free charging stations.
It is amazing, with ever increasing energy costs in Canada and throughout the world, that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to promote the extreme Green Agenda that will destroy Canada’s energy industry.
In case you missed the (mainstream) media frenzy, the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) just wrapped up in Egypt.
Doug Ford came to power in Ontario promising to fight the disastrous green policies of the McGuinty-Wynne Liberals. Remember the so-called Green Energy Act? Under the influence of Gerald Butts and other green activists, the Liberal government launched crazy initiatives such as the thousands of contracts for wind and solar power they signed at multiples of the going price for electricity. In 2016, the Auditor General found that electricity consumers in Ontario paid 9.2 billion dollars more than they would have paid because of these initiatives. It was a financial disaster that Ontario taxpayers are still paying for.
