Conservatives falsely claim that there is a direct link between high food prices and the price on pollution. My Conservative colleagues today understood the inaccuracy of their claims. Watch my exchange with leading Agricultural and Food Policy experts who debunk this myth.

@s_guilbeault My family are farmers I don’t need your “policy experts” to explain to me that the carbon taxes on diesel fuel hasn’t increased the costs of farming.

Taxing things doesn't make prices go up ? What expert is this ?

Here’s what could get more expensive with Trump’s new tariffs.

Well, there is also no data on how carbon tax reduces emissions. Does that mean carbon tax doesn't work at all?

So what you are asking us to believe is that all the below effects of a carbon tax: 1. Increasing costs of transportation. 2. Increasing costs to keep livestock warm. 3. Increasing costs to grow greenhouse vegetables. 4. Increasing costs to harvest. 5. Increasing costs to transport food to market. don't affect the price of food? That is astonishing. Please explain that.

Carbon is not pollution. It's food for plants.

Carbon Tax = Higher Food Prices = Fact #ClimateScam

@s_guilbeault SIGN, SIGN, SIGN! #TrudeauMustResign

That’s 100% true. Tax the farmer, increase the food prices.

you can't tax things and not expect it to be passed down to consumers, are you a liar, or just not understand economics? Either way you arent suited for the job

flour for bread: Fuel cost for farm equipment , higher fertilizer costs, transportation cost to mill, transportation costs from milling to packaging, packaging costs, transportation to distribution, transportation to final destination(store) every one of them compounds the tax!!
