Premier Scott Moe is pausing Saskatchewan’s industrial carbon tax.
The decision targets the carbon tax rate under the Output-Based Performance Standards (OBPS) program, which taxes large industrial emitters. The pause will go into effect on April 1.
“We have always stood from day one against this tax,” said Premier Scott Moe on Thursday. “We don’t think it is in any way an environmental tax, but ultimately is preventing investment and enhancing the inflationary costs that we are experiencing as Canadians.”
Thanks Moe, I’m sure we’ll see all the “inflationary costs” drop significantly on April 1st, right?
Right??
What does Moe gain from these moves? He’s not being elected in the upcoming elections. Is it just to “Own the Libs”?
It is what 3.5 years until we go back to the polls, do you think conservative voters in Saskatchewan will be gone by then? Our DUI hire does not need to worry about losing power in the province.
Shmoe working hard to get those CO² levels up and keep his constituents happy.
Maybe his constituents are secretly trees?
/Wishful thinking
Our DUI hire working hard to huff and puff and pump all the CO2 into the air.
