awful soundtrack.
journalists are scum
Barton is a clown performing in a circus.
Doug Ford says he needs to make the tough decisions. He should have done so 4 weeks ago, we should never have opened any region in March! If everything had stayed close, we would not be here. I lay all the blame at his feet.
“We’re going to rebate and give you your money back” to which my reply is than what is the point of a carbon tax? I was told a carbon tax will make us emit less carbon by raising the prices on things like gas therefore causing people to use less of it to save their money.... Why would I use less if I just get all my money back? Carbon Tax is a feel good policy for idiots who don’t think things through.
