Carney states that reducing emissions will increase their competitiveness.... That is nonsense on stilts. Alberta has a carbon tax on large emitters. How will putting a higher tax on oil make it "more cometitive"? 1/3 h/t David Jacobsshow more

Mark Carney is trying to fool people. Isn’t it... suspicious that a long-time carbon tax supporter suddenly pauses it? His plan is to: 1. Hide the consumer carbon tax for 60 days. 2. Do anything to get re-elected. 3. Bring back a bigger-than-ever carbon tax with no rebate. Carney puts himself first. Conservatives will put Canada first.show more

Carney goes on to say that what's required is... investment. He talks about investment in carbon capture. What he doesn't talk about is investment in pipelines, LNG exporting plants, or oil refineries. His focus remains on reducing emissions, not increasing production. /3show more

BREAKING: Mark Carney says that having a carbon tax... in Canada is a requirement to trade overseas. Nonsense—taxing our energy will simply punish our businesses and ship jobs abroad. Just like when Carney supported carbon taxes in Canada while his company invested in American, Australian and Chinese coal. Only Conservatives will axe the tax for everyone, for good, forever:show more

Biden claims “no one making less than $400,000 a... year…will not single penny increase in their taxes.” That is FALSE. Biden has already raised the tax burden on Americans making as little as $20,000 per year.show more

Today Premier Doug Ford Doug Ford said one day... Alberta might have to give approval for a federal tax on oil and gas headed from Alberta to the United States. I understand our new Prime Minister Mark Carney has mused about the same thing. Let me be clear… Alberta will never agree to such an absurd and self destructive idea. It’s not an option. I’m not going to agree to do something that will cost hundreds of thousands of Albertans (and Canadians) their jobs almost overnight. That would be like placing export tariffs on Ontario auto parts. Also a bad idea. There are many effective ways that Canada and Alberta can work together to pressure the U.S. President to change course on tariffs - THAT is not one of them… period.show more

I drove by the “carbon tax protest” on highway... 1 on the way to the mountains last week from Calgary. This is what it looks like now. I have a lot of questions.. 1/ #ableg #alberta #abpoli #rcmp #convoy #freedom #protestshow more

On Tuesday, Gov. Bob Ferguson announced his support for... a Washington state income tax. He says he “will not support an income tax for people who make less than $1 million in a year.” But he also said in January that “we must be willing to right-size government and prioritize our spending” before approving the largest tax increase in state history and more runaway spending by legislative Democrats. The truth is, it will be millionaires today but could be you tomorrow. When the federal income tax was enacted in 1913, only about 2% of American households filed a tax return. Today, it’s nearly universal. House Republicans oppose new taxes. State government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.show more

Value-added tax is the "least painful tax," and Russians... won't notice its increase from 20 to 22%, Russian finance minister Siluanov said. Meanwhile, the CEO of VTB bank, Andrey Kostin, said that tax hikes in 2026 will have a negative impact on business, but the Russian budget needs money, and so far, it "has not found any other means of increasing revenue." "Tax hikes on top of high rates will further reduce business activity in the country and may ultimately lead to a decline in tax revenues. Because less business means fewer taxes. So far, the economy is holding up," he said in an interview with Reuters.show more

Several weeks ago, Putin said there would be no... increase in taxes in Russia. Today, the Russian government officially announced that the VAT will grow from 20 to 22% in Russia starting on January 1, 2026. This money will go towards war. Each Russian will pay more for any purchase. VAT is just a name. In reality, that's a military tax in Russia.show more

Holly shit❗️ Mark Carney thinks our effective carbon price... is too low; "The effective carbon price in this country is actually quite low relative to the headline price,in the $20 to $30 range in most Canadian markets. And that's something we're working to rectify." The industrial carbon tax price increased to $110 this year, with a plan to increase it to a minimum of $130 and all the way to $170 around 2030. Do you understand how MASSIVE the increase to these levels will be to cost of things in Canada and how uncompetitive our industries will be!?show more

Keith is wrong. If he is not, I will... gladly admit it. Danielle Smith is prepared to appeal the decision on the Alberta independence referendum and is prepared to take years to do it. In that time Alberta will be flooded with hundreds of thousands of new citizens Mark Carney and the Liberals will hand pick, from around the world. Stacking the deck against independence. Being fully aware of what is going on, is critical. Smith's argument is that this ruling will impact how Alberta is governed, so any appeal will be lengthy, by design. She will slow walk this for years to ensure independence never happens. That is a fact. Anyone who thinks she won't, is not paying attention.show more
