    If all premiers have guts not remit carbon tax, what will Trudeau do put them all in jail
  • @user-dp3kr9fs4d
    Premier Higgs well said!! Finally someone with realistic expectations
  • @dylankrank
    You're so CBC. What kind of bonus are you getting from your boss, that you're trying to convince us this tax is good. You're not worth listening to. Keep fighting against it Blaine.
  • @ararsoetana1471
    What is the issue with this journalist? He advocates for a Carbon Tax more than Trudeau himself does
  • @paulaubin510
    The New Brunswick premiere has a great point. By helping the world we're helping ourselves. It's not like the air that we breathe stops at our borders it travels world. Even if our numbers don't go down but the world's average does significantly it's the right thing to do
  • @sangtaeminam
    Single most biased coverage by media in my opinion
  • @buxvet
    polievre been saying this for months yet they say he has no plan
  • @daryletoews7099
    Get rid of the CBC we’ve had enough of their rallying against Canadians and supporting a criminal regime.
  • Wow the reporter totally doesn't understand the options or the issue. Or refuses to understand.
  • @user-rp8wf3jv2q
    Stop saying CO2 is pollution ..it is NOT pollution-essential to life on earth.
  • @martymurray5011
    Blaine Higgs is making a HUGE amount of sense. Ottawa: Are you listening?
  • @zdenek6539
    52% of global greenhouse emission come from 4 countries (China, USA, India & Russia), Canada is 1.4%. We are not the problem. It's nice to hear a Premier talk about climate change that gets it and is looking at alternatives that make a big impact. Help other countries replace coal with LNG and then use that money to pay for green tech, infrastructure and research in Canada. That's a policy I'll support.
  • Kicking Trudeau out couldn’t come any sooner, defund the CBC, get common sense conservatives to clean up this mess. That premier is right Canada has a massive opportunity here, and the left is road blocking it.

    Why do they keep saying 3 cent a litre on gas!!! It is on everything, ie. food delivery, heating the grocery store, electricity on the grocery store. EVERYTHING!
