How is this good for the economy JustinTrudeau ? CPC_HQ

Over time a bottle of Soda has gone from 10 cents to 2.00.

Nation Post fear mongering again for Click bait. That tax starts off at $20 a tonne in 2019 and rises to $50 in 2022. A higher Ontario aviation fuel tax would combine with the carbon tax. The cost of a flight $45 more for a family of four by 2022, per the airline council.

That why we will be flying out of Buffalo and Detroit

How much will climate change add to it?

Even if that worst-case scenario were to come true, it's peanuts, a trivial First-World problem compared with the seriousness of this ... the speed with which we're massively changing the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere. We won't get a do-over.

BS!

Come you're better than this.... Oh... never mind

How to control the poor and middle class? Tax them into dependency and servitude, making them completely reliant on government. The carbon is just the beginning.

It’s about time! canpoli

Won’t cost Justin Trudeau anything though

GREAT!!

Have people paying so much more. Yet these corporations continue to make millions in profit and they are not changing anything to help combat carbon emissions. This tax is another bs tax grab.

Leftists are partying with that news

Next time you see the PM, ask him about the SEVEN SUBURBAN's that just rolled down Parliament Hill. betterchoices?

So my $350 return ticket to Las Vegas will cost $950? Yikes!

Really? You realize your talking about an industry that has more shenanigans than GOVERNMENT. If its not carbon tax pushing prices up....it'll be something else. THERES ALWAYS SOMETHING ELSE WITH THEM.

All the more reason to fly out of Buffalo instead of Toronto

.... while Trudeau jets around at taxpayer expense. Shouldn’t he, like Trump, give away his salary too? CarbonTax

If that's the cost of pollution, so be it!

Any excuse.

Key words 'could' meaning possibly / or not confirmed. And 'over time' meaning a duration possibly from 2 days to 20 years. Inflation also adds cost to an airline ticket, why aren't we abolishing inflation?

Goin down faster than the 737 Max.....

Tackling climate change doesn't require a tax. It requires good policy, private sector innovation and citizens being engaged instead of lazily seeking an easy out by expecting the government to do it for them.

TrudeauMustGo 🍁

It's already expensive enough...its coming to a point where only the rich will be able to travel. In this beautiful world we live in all people should be able to afford to go somewhere without going bankrupt to do it

Who is paying the Carbon tax for Trudeau taking multiple family 2day vacations in Florida, Tofino, on a private jet?

good. airlines embody another tax against the poor to enrichen those already rich
