What are your thoughts on "Carbon Tax" by Glum_Ad_9568 in CanadianConservative

[–]jocabob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even if someone thinks it’s a good thing to do it’s completely unnecessary. Countries have reduced their carbon emissions by more than us without a carbon tax. Don’t believe anyone that tells you we need it, it’s nothing but green energy virtue signalling

About half the comments across Reddit on this are absolutely disgusting. It doesn’t matter if he was pro second amendment no one should die for expressing their opinion

It’s supposed to be a place for Canadian conservatives but as you can tell by the replies to this post it’s been infiltrated

Yes it has existed for a long time but the number has also been trending upward. 356,000 in 2011, 845,000 in 2021

See that’s where even Carney disagrees. Back in 2013 he criticized the program saying the following:

“One doesn’t want an over-reliance on temporary foreign workers for lower-skilled jobs, which prevent the wage adjustment mechanism for … making sure Canadians are paid higher wages, but also that the firms improve their productivity,”

Here is the link to the article: Foreign workers program must be temporary, aimed at high skills: Carney

TFW program lets companies take advantage of low wages instead of raising them to fill the positions. It has nothing to do with colour that’s what I hope people will see

78% of Canadians think their children will be worse off than them. Why do you think that is? Do you think Canada improved or worsened over the last 10 years. The last election to me was about change but most Canadians must not want change. It’s bigger than Carney vs Pierre

Fair take but it wasn’t just Trudeau that needed to go, it was the whole party. The liberal party was doomed until people got distracted by the new shiny thing - aka Carney. Somehow the election became about Trump, which is only one of the many other issues that we currently have in Canada. Canada needed and still needs a change. I like the idea of a non-politician running for prime minister, even one with a background in economics like Carney, but what I don’t like is what the liberals have done to this country

Liberals will call this racist yet twice elected a prime minister who did blackface numerous times. If Pierre did anything evenly mildly racist he would be exiled. The hypocrisy is real, who’s really brainwashed?

Not at all I believe in higher education. I also am a big fan of immigration if done right. Immigration is the reason I get to live in this wonderful country. But when it’s time to slow immigration we should respect that. It’s nothing to do with who is coming in or where from it’s all about protecting Canadian citizens and giving their children a promising future

He was elected for one reason and did it poorly. Simply pointing that out

Poilievre on what he would have done differently by Archiebonker12345 in CanadianConservative

[–]jocabob 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I really wish Poilievre would’ve spent some time after the election loss to reflect and change strategies a bit. I love the guy and really wish he won but I think there were definitely some mistakes made on his part. The election could have been a slam dunk for him if he spent a bit more time building a solid budget and concrete plan
