Lmao. When are the conservatives going to stop stripping away the context and reposting that now decade old micro-clip of Trudeau pretending that it implies he actually supports dictatorships when he obviously doesn't.

As for Harper? Montreal is correct. The full context of the original quote was about Harper so don't get mad at Montreal for bringing up Harper, get mad at your conservative buddy for reposting the stupid quote

You know, there's a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say ‘we need to go green fastest...we need to start investing in solar.’ I mean there is a flexibility that I know Stephen Harper must dream about of having a dictatorship that he can do everything he wanted that I find quite interesting.

In light of the pullback of a 5 billion $ battery plant in Ontario a great opinion piece on Justin's failed carbon tax

Some of the highlights

Quote:
Whatever happened to the Trudeau government’s promise his federal carbon tax would “stimulate innovation, investments in clean technology and benefit long-term growth opportunities”?

That Canada didn’t need to match U.S. President Joe Biden’s $369-billion in subsidies for green energy technology?

This because, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed last year, “one of the reasons the U.S. has to do so much more is they don’t have a price on pollution. They have to do through regulations and incentives and subsidies what we are already doing a lot of heavy lifting on with a price on pollution.
Quote:
It’s a future of massive public subsidies paid for by Canadian taxpayers to compete with massive public subsidies being offered to attract green energy projects in the U.S. by the Biden administration.

As for Trudeau’s national carbon tax, that was supposed to make getting into a subsidy war with the U.S. unnecessary because the Americans don’t have one — it turns out that claim by the PM was nonsense.

This article is pretty poorly framed. So first let's just be clear, in a vacuum the Canadian approach of a carbon tax is far far superior to the american approach which doesn't put a price on carbon but does a bunch of various incentive schemes like massive subsidies for EVs and the like. If you could choose one thing for both countries to do, you'd choose the Canadian approach every time.

There is then a secondary question of whether given that the American have not done a carbon tax, and instead are putting in place these subsidy programs, whether Canada should also compete for those or whether they should throw up their hands and say ya know what we've done enough on the carbon tax, may as well give up on everything else. Well, I say: do both. You're somebody who always seems to argue the carbon tax isn't enough on its own, but now you seem mad that Canada is doing things above and beyond the carbon tax as well.

Im sorry 13billion in Subsidies when Justin claims is to much

As well lets not forget

In other words, this is the future of clean energy technology in Canada — or at least so-called clean energy technology because mining for the raw materials needed to manufacture batteries for electric vehicles is an environmental nightmare.

It’s a future of massive public subsidies paid for by Canadian taxpayers to compete with massive public subsidies being offered to attract green energy projects in the U.S. by the Biden administration.

WOOOOSH. Montreal brought up Harper because the quote he was responding to by wreckem was about Harper. Of course, the conservatives never quote the full context of the utterly benign quote, they clip this decade old quote off to make it appear that Trudeau is pro-dictatorships or some nonsense when he is in fact getting a dig in about Harper's dictatorial tendencies. So this is 100% on wreckem and 0% on Montreal.

in Greece they are banging out free energy. what is Canada doing?

it's literally free. all they pay are some hardware fees initially.

they reported about a Greek business owner. instead of 14k he pays now 1.5k per(euros) year in electricity bills.
What is Canada talking about? Ukraine and covid.

Nice. Personally I think all things should be free all the time. Free stuff is literally great!

yes, move to this island where it is all free.
filling up your tesla? free
heating, cooking, watching Netflix: free

thanks to photovoltaik

in guessing with Greeks financial problems in the past they try to attract some new people to this island. it shows whats possible though with photovoltaik.

Actually it does Justin said with a carbon tax we do not have to compete against the Americans as much as they will need to subsidize green energy. Well 18 billion is on par per capita what the Americans are doing . So we are doing exactly what the Americans are doing banking on a energy source that is unreliable and may be dirtier than fossil fuels

You don't think we should be doing at least as much as the Americans are doing? I think we should price carbon AND subsidize technological transformation, and that the americans are wrong for only doing the latter. Do you think we should do one, both, neither, what? Your whole bit is that Trudeau is a climate phoney, but he is the guy doing BOTH carbon pricing AND subsidization. That sounds like climate realist to me.

Also really weird to hear the fear mongering about "dirtier than fossil fuels". These bizarre far right talking points just slip into your posts and I don't think you even realize it.

when you watch the Paul video you understand what I'm talking about.

Fauci says now he didn't force anyone.

just as

Trudeau says he didn't force anyone.

=

bs

then who forced everyone? they are pushing this responsibility back and forth and that doesn't add up. we know Fauci was for a very short time a very powerful some say the most powerful human on the planet. he could have said something and it was instantly basically a law. (not yet an official law but as good as in reality. and exactly on this fact he and they are now gas lighting us) we need to think about if this, if this was a wise move to have all the power on one man.

The sad reality of Climate Change is it is real and some of it is man made. The other reality is that Canada could end all its fossil fuels today and it would have little to no effect. Until China, India and South America join the fight its a losing battle

Lets say these battery plants get built were do you think all these minerals will come from to make all these batteries? What do you do with all these batteries when they are expired. How will our grids even handle the increased consumption? Its not like we have plans for more electrical distribution .

Do you drive an electric vehicle? It seems they are a rich mans vehicle that Justin subsidizes

Let me remind you why . Start at the 2;40 mark

The claim has never been that EVs are not without any challenges, but that their challenges are vastly superior to endlessly pumping carbon into the atmosphere via fossil fuels.

I do not. I commute mostly by bike, secondarily by public transit, and occasionally I drive my decade old ICE car. - and I purchased a home such that this hierarchy is possible. My next car will almost certainly be electric though. With the increasing carbon tax and incentives, switching to an EV only makes more and more sense as time goes on. You are correct that today a new EV is quite expensive and out of reach for many lower income Canadians, that is something we should work on changing via subsidies etc.
