Premier Doug Ford has officially revoked cap and trade — and is now starting to wrap up initiatives funded by the doomed program.
“Cap-and-trade and carbon tax schemes are no more than government cash grabs that do nothing for the environment while hitting people in the wallet in order to fund big government programs,” Ford said in a statement Tuesday. “I promised that the party with taxpayers’ dollars was over and that this would include scrapping the cap-and-trade, carbon tax slush fund.”

“Just as with Trump, business and industry will be defying him on carbon and co2 issues”
If they want to voluntarily cough up the money for the redistribution scam, let them. Let the stockholders be the the Judge and Jury.
Gotta be checking for stray hairs in those pizzas lol.
sorry about this, but sometimes you have to laugh. read it all:
4 Jul: Vatican News: Al Gore: Pope Francis a ‘moral force’ for solving climate crisis
Nobel Peace Prize Winner and former U.S. Vice President, Al Gore, is one of the world’s most vocal defenders of the environment. His 2007 documentary film, “An Inconvenient Truth”, won an Oscar and his Climate Reality Project recently hosted an important summit in Berlin. In this exclusive interview with Vatican News, Al Gore praises Pope Francis’ encyclical, “Laudato si”, and calls for a “Sustainability Revolution”.
By Alessandro Gisotti
Q: You are one the strongest voices in the world calling for environmental protection. Why are you so passionately involved in this “green battle” for our planet?
GORE: I believe that the purpose of life is to glorify God — and if we heap contempt and destruction on God’s creation, that is grotesquely inconsistent with the way we are supposed to be living our lives. Moreover, the climate crisis is now the biggest existential challenge humanity has ever faced. And it is not only humanity that is at risk; according to the world’s biologists, up to half of all the living species with which we share this Earth are in danger of extinction during this century. When Noah was instructed to gather two of every species in his ark in order to “keep them alive with thee,” I believe that instruction is also meant for us...

Many, many places renewable is cheaper than fossils, so the stockholders are benefitting.
The ratepayers in Texas, Ok, KS, IA and numerous other places know that they are saving money on renewable.
And its not slowing down, they have recently announced the biggest windfarms ever in Texas and OK
The shift has already begun. Trump can't stop it and fatboy ford can't stop it
YES! Conservatism means being responsible with taxpayer money.
About time.

Obama taking the reins of global warming from Algore is like the Rosatto brothers muscling in on Frankie Five Angels. It will not end well, methinks.
Wow !
For reasons of romance and not of politics, my son is preparing to move to Toronto for transportation planning work. This is good news for his future there.
The physics of the energy density of liquid fuels makes a mockery of your statement. And you. Give it up, green boy. Nobody’s buying what you’re selling.
The ratepayers in Texas might be paying a little less but that is because of massive tax credits to the wind farm builders/owners. With the tax credit scheme due to expire at year end the future of the ‘give me money to be green’ scheme might well be in doubt.
1,000,000 Euros = $1,164,000, per http://www.wolframalpha.com
The views in my old home state have been ruined by those damn things. Sacrificing eagles, hawks and bats on the altar of environmentalism.
If you’ve ever seen “Dr. Strangelove,” you may recall that the name of the POTUS in that production was Merkin Muffley.
Renewables are subsidized by government. No subsidy then there would be less of it. That is why wind farms will often run when prices are negative in wholesale market - to get the subsidy.
You think it is a “redistribution scam” because you are poorly informed

Speaking of being poorly informed, I would put you in the center of that discription. If there were no subsidies or other forced by government cooperation, there would be no renewable energy scams.
Well done. I didn’t realize such brutal political honesty was possible in Canada.
Suggest taking a closer look.
Without government subsidies, wind and solar are not competitive.
I DO like being fully informed...
