National Post: 'The point is, everyone who’s anyone believes in a man-made climate emergency crisis breakdown in which bad weather will destroy civilization by around 2050 unless we find refuge in the magical land of “Net Zero” where humanity gives off no more carbon “pollution” than it absorbs. Thus with transportation being a major source of “greenhouse gas” emissions, along with housing, farming and such like, it is crucially vital that you stop putting gas in your car. And since you will not stop doing so if you can afford it, unless they make gasoline-powered cars illegal, they must make it impossible for you to afford it.
'Because a major point on which elite opinion is apparently united is that clarity in public discussion risks provoking insolent questions, this aspect of the situation has been persistently obscured by obscure rhetoric. Promises not to raise the carbon tax, to rebate it, or to remove it temporarily because expensive gas makes voters angry have been pumped into the air faster than man-made CO2. But they have all been nonsense since the sworn goal, and I challenge you to find a politician besides Maxime Bernier who doesn’t pledge allegiance to it, is to price gasoline out of reach.
'Congratulations. It’s working. How do you like it now?'
