It goes back to province and then where?

You are literally communicating to me on a device that could answer your question. I also provided you a link with more information.

I am not going to hand hold this conversation for you when all you are doing is speculating.

Regardless of if they want to call themselves BC United or BC Conservative, the BC Liberals aren't to be trusted and never should have been.

As you have said ad nauseam.

Try speaking to the points instead of hiding behind a violent criminals age. Might help you make an actual point here.

What happened to her was wrong.

That doesn't change the fact that she, and her friends, are murderers and deserve to spend a long time in a real correctional facility. They literally swarmed and murdered a man over a bottle of liquor at the ages of 13-16. They aren't children, they are teenagers, and absolutely knew what they were doing and thought they could get away with it.

Low and behold, a light sentence for a violent criminal. With likely more light sentences to come for the rest of them.

ADHD isn't an excuse for murder. Her age doesn't change the crime. Peer pressure is a bullshit excuse.

Every person involved with strip searching a minor seven times, and not getting her to her court dates, should also face the full extent of the law. Which as you were already told is a separate issue from the murder that took place, and shouldn't impact the sentencing of a murderer.

Not one of your links is about all six deaths. In fact every one of them is about one death alone, without mentionaing any others.

Do I need to source every single Indigenous death reported by every other outlet for you to get the point?

This is a well known issue, and is going to be debated today in the House.

15:44 if you want to watch for yourself.

As per the rest of your lying.

Dedam is the third Indigenous person shot and killed by a police officer in New Brunswick in four years.

The deaths of Chantel Moore and Rodney Levi, in June 2020, during wellness checks led to protests and calls for an inquiry into systemic racism in the justice system. The provincial government did not call that inquiry. The call for an inquiry arose again this week after Dedam's death.

The death of Steve “Iggy” Dedam is the result of systemic racism, Chief Ross Perley of the Tobique First Nation, which is part of the Wolastoqey Nation, said in an interview Wednesday. Perley noted that two Indigenous people were killed by New Brunswick police in 2020 — 48-year-old Rodney Levi and 26-year-old Chantel Moore.

You should read the links before you make statements about the content of them, and you should stop letting perfect be the enemy of good.

Their point was no one else is covering it and I clearly demonstrated that not only were they flat out lying, their own source covered it a day after every one of my sources published their articles.

I’m with girlfreddy on this.

Then you are equally wrong.

And silence from main street news.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/elsipogtog-march-killed-police-1.7324715

https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/rcmp-shooting-elsipogtog-family-statement-1.7321343

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/wellness-check-rcmp-sirt-dedam-1.7322914

Weird that you say that considering CBC has run three stories in the last few days, and broke it before your source did.

But wait! There's more!

https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/mi-kmaq-death-first-nation-wants-indigenous-representation-on-n-b-police-watchdog-1.7033973

https://globalnews.ca/news/10750832/mikmaq-death-first-nation-wants-indigenous-representation-on-n-b-police-watchdog/

Both sources broke it the day before your source published their article.

It is a fucked up problem that needs to be addressed immediately and it will not be solved by lying in order to virtue signal.

This country sucks.

What exactly are you doing about it other than the aforementioned spread of misinformation?

Where the money goes

The money is returned to the province or territory where it is collected. Provinces and territories with their own carbon pricing systems will use their proceeds as they see fit. The Government of Canada does not keep any direct proceeds from pollution pricing.

https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/climate-change/pricing-pollution-how-it-will-work/putting-price-on-carbon-pollution.html

Consumers also have a choice not to support companies as they see fit. Shopping locally sourced goods goes a very long way.

misinformation aside, tax the industry simply increase their cost and they can still just offset to the consumers no? since consumer don’t have others down the chain to offset that cost. I know on the sheet you can’t list tax as cost, but if the tax come when you buy the fuel, then it becomes part of the cost for say, a truck fleet company. If you tax the oil/fuel companies for how much they produced/shipped, they will have to raise the cost to account for the lost of potential tax to make the balance sheet or projection look nicer. I can’t think of a way to tax carbon and those cost won’t trickle down. But tax at the source would make overall consumption reduced since the gov artificially drive up the cost of that resource.

In short, consumer would still foot the bill, but the goal to reduce carbon based fuel stays the same.

The entire point of the tax is to increase the price so that individuals and industries will use alternatives. If companies raise the costs to offset the hit to their profits, assuming the Federal Cons win the next election and remove the federal tax causing the NDP to remove consumer side carbon tax, you as the consumer choose to use less of it or none at all.

Which in the end is exactly the intent of a carbon tax. Make the products cost more so people aren't so inclined to use them.

A re-elected NDP government would scrap British Columbia's long-standing carbon tax and shift the burden to "big polluters" if the federal government dropped its requirement for the law, Premier David Eby said Thursday.

At a campaign event in Vancouver, Eby said his government would end the provincial carbon tax on consumers if the federal "legal backstop" requiring the province to keep the tax in place is removed.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-ottawa-carbon-tax-1.7322033

Who is surprised?

Sounds like the stance is the same as it was in 2008, wanting to tax industry and not consumers, and the NDP aren't looking to be the only Government holding on to a program that has lost support of people in Canada because of a massive misinformation campaign about the tax.
