The Supreme Court of Canada on Thursday has given the federal government the constitutional green light to impose a carbon tax on the provinces.
The decision was the culmination of years of disputes between some provinces and the federal government over the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (GGPPA). The law, which was introduced in 2018, laid out a national framework for pricing carbon – one that applies to everyday consumers as well as industrial emitters.
Taxes used to be the cost of maintaining the social contract, now it’s just theft by the ruling class.
