Dear Editor:
RE: Carbon pricing works, April 18.
I am writing to let Guelph MP Lloyd Longfield know the carbon tax rebate is paid over the year in payments that don’t cover the cost of carbon taxes placed on everything.
I am one of the people that doesn’t receive the rebate. Not because I am rich, but because I’m not a home owner.
Canada has the second biggest forest in the world and it scrubs more carbon emissions than we can produce. So in reality we don’t even pollute the air with carbon emissions. And we only produce 0.04 per cent of the carbon emissions in the world.
And as far as the tax and the price of gas going up, it’s also partly but the blame on the government for there increases in carbon taxes. And the oil company does play a part.
If the Conservative government gets elected and gets rid of the carbon tax you will see a big decrease on the price of groceries and home heating and electricity and gas. We need a new government that will stand up for the people
Gery Thomson,
