It's only a matter of time. Gas prices aren't high enough. Add more gas taxes, then blame big-oil.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Stupidity: The Pandemic we were never warned about.

he hopes the oil companies, which are reporting record profits, would absorb the tax and not pass it on to the consumer.

Sure!

Have him "hope" in one hand and sh&* in the other and see which one fills up faster

[ElkGroveDan]

Few will notice. Everyone with any sense of sanity or reason who could get away fled Quebec 30 years ago.

[Paladin2]

Speaking French must preclude the ability to have entirely rational thought.

"the polluter pays"

The "polluter" is not the oil company, but the person driving the car. More demagoguery against "big oil." If they hate the oil companies so much, they should just ban oil, and see where that gets them.

[thackney]

I wonder if oil companies can reduce their tax by growing tree farms.

“he hopes the oil companies, which are reporting record profits, would absorb the tax and not pass it on to the consumer.”

Bechard missed that part of Economics 101 where students learn that all taxes are passed onto the consumer.

[chaos_5]

Quebecers will be distinct from other Canadians in another way starting this fall: they'll have the country's first designated "carbon tax" to help fight global warming.

GOOD! I HOPE THEY LIKE IT TOO! CHOKE ON YOUR CARBON TAX CANADA! CHOKE ON IT!

Can you tell this subject ticks me off? LOL

The Taxman Cometh

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Like they won’t use the “carbon tax” for mad money.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

This is what they were aiming for in the first place. All this garbage about carbon credits was to make the way for a tax. The left wants to destroy business and industry.

[Red Badger]

I bet not one “red” cent of this tax ever goes to stop glowbull warming........

[TopQuark]

The sheer stupidity of these people is simply amazing:

The tax, Bechard said, is based on the "polluter pays" principle. "That is not negotiable," the minister said.

he hopes the oil companies, which are reporting record profits, would absorb the tax and not pass it on to the consumer.

But it is the consumer of energy, not the producer, who pollutes.

In one statement that minister managed to by stupid and anti-corporate at the same time. This is the quality of the government that socialists always end up with.

[N. Theknow]

The amount of the carbon tax varies according to the amount of carbon dioxide each fuel produces.

The amount of the carbon tax varies according to the amount of carbon dioxide each fuel fool produces.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Carbon taxes are at least up-front and transparent. For that reason, many of the “warmists” oppose them — they’d much prefer a plethora of oppressive regulations, whereby they get to dictate the minutiae of everyone else’s lives.

The Green Party of Canada (a federal party, with no seats in Parliament) just proposed a carbon tax 20 times higher than Quebec’s — one that would double in a few years. That would add about $1.00 to the price of a U.S. gallon of gas. The “inconvenient truth” that the GW alarmists don’t want people to know, is that’s the minimum their agenda is going to cost us.

The Quebec government wants to get some money from the petro companies — it really bothers them to see the billions that flow into Alberta every year from their consumers. The oil companies might have to absorb some of this tax, in areas near Quebec borders, where Quebecois drivers have an alternative.

Let the Eastern bastards freeze in the dark!

Oh wait, I’m an eastern bastard, but, Quebec is even more eastern so they can freeze twice as hard.

[lndrvr1972]

Did you see 20/20 last week? The government takes more than 72 billion in taxes compared to 62 billion by the oil companies, who is doing the gouging its the government.
