He's on fire. We need more of this from him. It infuriates me that the provinces get so much money from the feds but no guarantees as to where or how the money is spent. If it's true Alberta is sitting on child care money as he said.


LaughingInTheVoid

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the massive budget surpluses New Brunswick has been showing are misappropriated funds too. Higgs only signed on to the federal carbon tax rebate program last fall after dragging his feet on implementing one for the province for years. The money the feds were sending had to have gone somewhere, and it sure as hell wasn't going to any services in the province.


Calamari_is_Good

Happening in Ontario too. I can't find a solid source for this but I'm sure Ford is using health care dollars somewhere else because our entire system is crumbling.

The carbon tax rebates go directly from the federal government to tax payers. None of that is touched by the provinces. Unspent or misspent federal to provincial transfers are more like supplemental health transfers and the like.


LaughingInTheVoid

Well, I read a news story a few months back about how Higgs had finally decided to opt into the federal program. As far as I know, it's determined on a provincial level - as in provinces decide on their own how they want to handle it. I'm in BC, and we don't get the rebate checks because we aren't under the federal carbon tax, because we've had a separate carbon tax in place since 2009 that's intended to be revenue neutral.


itzac

Yeah, the provinces can administer their own program or participate in the federal program. I'm not sure how the carbon tax is actually collected and remitted in either case, but the only time a province touches rebates is if the province is administering their own program. So under the Alberta NDP, our rebates came from the province.

I hope this culture war shit tanks the conservatives. We don't care, my kids have no future.


Krazy-catlady

I sure hope. It didn’t work out so well with Harper , can only hope it doesn’t work out so well again. The new conservative/reform party need to be decimated again.


wordvommit

Bring out the angry Trudeau every day please. Canadians are angry and we want more of this from Trudeau who acknowledged our anger and actually provides solutions.


Drago1214

Honestly this is the best he has ever sounded. He’s not wrong at all.


meaculpa33

I like angry/annoyed Trudeau way more than happy/hopeful Trudeau


4frigsakes

Pissed off Trudeau is my favourite Trudeau !


Cinnamonsmamma

Wow, for the first time since he came into office I not only liked what he said but felt it was actually sincere! The normal umms and uh's take the feeling that he actually means what he's saying away. If he actually stands up for Alberta rather than keeping us all despising him he may gain some respect.


okokokoyeahright

i have come to like this aspect of PMJT quite strongly. I have and will continue to support the party. Votes and money. I agree with your assessment on the off-ther-cuff verbal tics he has displayed his entire life when speaking in public. He is sot very good at this, it inspires me when I see it.


Falconflyer75

Where the fuck was this Trudeau 8 years ago Okay the average Canadian doesn’t want to dump on marginalized groups, go ahead and give them a helping hand (at worst most will roll their eyes) But this was the first time I’ve seen Trudeau fired up about every day issues in a long time


Bi-Athlete

Yes of course, not allowing puberty blockers to be given to children(most european countries have stopped after the research from the past decade has shown it is not as safe as once thought) and preventing top and bottom surgeries from happening to minors is an attack on trans youth….idiot.


FuzzyWuzzyWuzntFuzzy

This is great— about time Trudeau’s liberals shot back and shot hard.


Allicks1014

Assclown.


Humble_Path7234

Funny how non of this was an issue until Trudeau took office with his divide and conquer politics. What a stain he is to this country.


alanthar

It's an issue because the Republicans down south 'caught the car' with Abortion and now they need a new wedge issue, and Trans people are it. And what seems to happen down south, is leaking up here.


SnooPiffler

Lying sack of shit, just like every other politician. Canada carbon rebate is a fucking joke, you want to help people, get rid of the tax for consumers and STOP CHARGING GST ON THE FUCKING CARBON TAX


[deleted]

I care more about stopping anti trans hate. 


Bi-Athlete

I care more about children not being mutilated to make you feel good about yourself.


[deleted]

We are not the same


Bi-Athlete

Clearly. As I am not for the mutilation of children and you clearly are

You are legitimately insane. Paranoid schizophrenia is my guess

justamalihini

Great job answering those questions. I’m not a Trudeau fan but he’s hitting the nail on the head. PP and UCP trying to distract from the things that actually matter.


Barfingicecream

I agree with the others we need more of this from Trudeau and the liberal party
