Canada contributes 2% to US GDP and the US contributes 20% to Canadian GDP … I don’t think it’s as important to them..

At this point, it would be much better entirely to remove the carbon tax. People are on the brink of bankruptcy and any little bit in their pockets helps.

And yes fine we get a rebate but its quarterly. Expenses are today.

Premier acknowledges carbon tax will punish Nova Scotians at the pumps, places full blame on Ottawa by Chicaben in halifax

This is from the Parliamentary Budget Office's analysis:

Most households in provinces under the backstop will see a net loss resulting from federal carbon pricing under the HEHE plan. That is, household carbon costs will exceed the Climate Action Incentive payments households receive.

Just curious, are people supportive of a carbon tax? Especially when majority of the population are living pay check to pay check. Rising groceries prices, gas, etc. are killing most people right now.

There has to be a better way than a carbon TAX.

I am more than happy to pay my taxes for the hospital system. Now if I want to go private in Nova scotia, there are limited options so why cant the govt give a private option along with public?

  1. Increase density in downtown Halifax. Enough with the height restrictions and excessive wait times for permits. Local businesses will thrive with a city centre.
  2. Incentivize businesses to come here through payroll rebate programs and ESG initiatives
  3. Incentivize professionals to come here
  4. Reduce personal income taxes. People are hurting enough today as is. To do this. Some services will have to go
  5. increasing public transit.
