Ukraine has had a carbon tax for years
The basis for Poilievre’s concerns seems to be a clause in chapter 13 of the modernization agreement between Canada and Ukraine (the new agreement runs to 30 chapters, plus annexes).
“Consistent with Article 13.24, the Parties shall cooperate bilaterally and in international forums to address matters of mutual interest, as appropriate, to … promote carbon pricing and measures to mitigate carbon leakage risks,” the agreement states.
Poilievre’s insistence that this is meant to “impose” a carbon tax on Ukrainians is also hard to square with the fact that Ukraine has had a carbon tax since 2011.
What’s behind anything the cons do these days? It’s obviously the Russians, who have influenced all manner of conservative politicians across the planet. The Cold War propaganda never ended. It eventually became mainstream conservative talking points.
PP is a fucking asshat, and so are all modern Cons brainwashed by Fox. We should seriously consider lobbying the CRTC to stop letting them air in Canada. Tucker Fucking Carlson called for an annexation of our nation. That’s absurd, and should have raised more alarm bells than it has.
There’s not even a true Canadian conservative movement anymore, because all they do is pretend to be Americans. How are you going to fly a Trump flag in Ontario my guy? Fucking idiots all around.
As a former card-carrying Conservative, I’m already deciding to vote ABC.
It raises the issue of ethics vs legality
It’s ethical to put a pride sticker on someone’s car when it’s next to a “fuck Trudeau” sticker. But technically it’s vandalism
What if you cover the bad word with pretty rainbows in case there are children present?
