We don’t need carbon taxes and anti-energy sector policies. We just need to let Canadians compete.
Over and over again, you’ll hear the Liberals and their legacy media cronies say Canada needs a ‘climate policy.’
They’ll attack the Conservatives for supposedly lacking such a policy.
Yet, when they say climate policy, what they really mean is ‘tax policy.’
After all, Canada is doing far worse on emissions reductions than countries like the United States, even though the United States has no carbon tax.
Making this even more of a slap in the face to Canadians is the fact that the U.S. has been embracing the opportunity to sell more LNG, which Justin Trudeau famously said lacked a ‘business case.’
So, people in the U.S. – and most of our peer nations – are seeing their standard of living go up and are doing better at reducing emissions.
With this in mind, what should Canada’s ‘climate policy’ be?
The answer is simple:
Market competition and unleashing the innovation of our citizens.
Unleash the energy sector. Scrap the carbon tax. Make Canada a great place to do business. Let companies compete on their own merits rather than relying on taxpayer-funded subsidies.
That will incentivize the kind of innovation that ends up lowering emissions & increasing wealth at the same time.
That’s what Canada needs, rather than the economically-destructive eco-radicalism of Trudeau, Guilbeault, & Singh.
