Food Costs:

 Think your grocery costs are climbing out of reach? It's nothing yet. Wait until Ottawa's carbon tax kicks in.

It's being hinted on the media that the grocery costs' weekly climb is due to the pandemic. 

Not quite. Added security is not the only reason. We tend to ignore the effects of the carbon tax about to be imposed on Canadian industry.

That's the Trudeau team's devilishly clever campaign to bring global warming and climate change to a screeching halt.

So the farmers, truckers, and practically everyone who gets up to work in the morning are being taxed according to their evil carbon footprint. 

Who pays? It would appear that anticipation of the cost of increased taxation is being downloaded onto the tomatoes, lettuce, poultry, butter, sour cream and everyting else they haul to market. 

The truckers add to it the cost of their fuel, tires, service and repairs. 

People who drive cars will pay at the pump. 

People who own homes will pay more for hydro and heat. 

People who rent will find the increased cost attached to their monthly rental.

Don't believe it when they tell you the extra bucks it costs will be returned. Who's going to pay the cost of the new bureaucracy administering this sorry scheme?.

It's easy to forget about that one when the media has been rattling on about Covid 19 during every waking hour.

So we spend all our time re-inforcing our concern about the pandemic. We have no time to think about the effects of that carbon tax grab on two imaginary problems--global warming, which is fictional, and climate change, a completely natural, vital component of life and evolution.

Climate change has been going on for millions of years, but no one's raised a fuss over it before the advent of the internet and instananeous electronics.

There is no mystery. No great  threats. When the climate changes, all life on the planet simply adapts to it. 

Apparently the Liberal politicians are looking for ways to get their fiscal hooks into it. They see the carbon footprint tax as an opportunity to get their hands a little deeper into our pockets.
