Title: Trudeau Government Imposing Water Tax: An Effort to Drive Behavioral Change
Introduction:
In an ongoing effort to address environmental concerns and promote sustainable practices, the Canadian government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has recently proposed the implementation of a water tax. Similar to the controversial carbon tax, this new policy aims to induce behavioral changes and discourage water consumption practices that are deemed harmful by liberal policymakers.
Background:
Water scarcity and pollution are pressing global issues that require comprehensive actions for safeguarding this irreplaceable resource. Recognizing the severity of the situation, the Trudeau government has taken a proactive stance to promote responsible water usage. The introduction of a water tax is a part of their broader strategy to curb wasteful behaviors, protect freshwater ecosystems, and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
The Rationale Behind the Water Tax:
The primary objective behind the proposed water tax is to incentivize Canadians to adopt more sustainable water consumption practices. The government believes that most citizens take water for granted, leading to its excessive and inefficient usage in various sectors, including agriculture, industry, and personal consumption. By imposing a tax on water usage, the Trudeau government hopes to encourage individuals and businesses to become more mindful of their water consumption patterns and implement conservation measures accordingly.
Driving Behavioral Change:
Similar to the carbon tax implemented in Canada, the water tax seeks to influence consumer behavior by attaching a monetary cost to irresponsible water usage. By increasing the price of excessive water consumption, the government aims to discourage wasteful practices and motivate individuals to adopt water-saving technologies, methods, and behaviors.
Moreover, the revenue generated from the water tax is expected to be reinvested in initiatives that promote water conservation, research, and infrastructure development. This approach aligns with the government's commitment to supporting sustainable projects and solutions that enhance water management and safeguard aquatic ecosystems across the country.
Controversies and Challenges:
As with any new taxation policy, the proposed water tax has faced criticism and resistance from various sectors. Some argue that such taxes disproportionately burden lower-income households, while others question the efficacy of taxation as a means to change behavior. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding the potential impact on agricultural practices, where water usage is necessary for crop production.
Conclusion:
The introduction of a water tax by the Trudeau government reflects a commitment to address the pressing issue of water scarcity and pollution. By implementing a cost-based incentive, the government aims to drive behavioral change and encourage individuals and businesses to adopt water-efficient practices. However, as debates surrounding this policy unfold, it is vital for the government to balance environmental stewardship with affordability and fairness, ensuring that the water tax does not unduly burden lower-income households while effectively achieving its intended objectives.

Behavioral Economics ? So taxing people to death to change their behavior is just insane.
The thing is… people aren’t going to change their behaviours! We still have to go to hockey games, we still have to pick up prescriptions, it just costs 23% more for no reason….
You can't change freedom and this is not freedom!

Agreed!! At this point any debates they do are just insane, money can’t save the environment people do!! F’ing idiots

It is not up to the government to change the people, it is up to the people to change the government!
EXACTLY!! A nation of sheep begets a govt of wolves...
Yes, the liberals want to change our 'behavior'. Is heating your home a 'behavior'. Canada is a cold country and we have to use a fuel such as nat gas. Nat gas is quite clean. People don't waste heat bc it costs us money. We don't need the government to carbon tax us which makes heating even more expensive.
Agreed.
Oh, yes!❤❤❤
*THIS !!*
Sick and tired tired of this social engineering (change of Canadians behaviors)!
They seem to think they have the right to make us pay more and how we are going to use it and how much we are going to use. It seems these entitled POS think themselves above us...
Since we are talking about changing behaviours, perhaps we could initiate a law that all Liberals must tell the truth, no matter what, or face jail time. This would change their behaviour.
Water tax? These folks are completely toast come election.
have a mercy on them, they are being pushed by WEF, Bad situation they re in .
Can the liberals open their mouth without saying an untruth
HELL NO!!!! They are always spewing 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮💩💩💩💩💩💩💩!!!!!!!!
No. They are all unreal

No kidding.
It's time for new order.😂
Here are some of the 200 grand a year people finding new ways to tax us into poverty.
This witness said it himself. He was educated by his parents to be mindful with water use. But he thinks we are too stupid, or negligent to have our parents educate us the same and pass that onto our kids. So because we are too ignorant, we need to be taxed to change our behaviour. Just shows their thoughts on us commoners
If the carbon "LEVY" is NOT a tax and is given back then why collect in the first place
I thought the same. Reminds me of those con artists that ask for change for a twenty and then had you a ten. Sleight of hand.
Wef psyop behaviour change
smoke and mirrors
How dare you make sense!! =)
They can call it whatever the hell they want. It's a tax scam fraud to libe their pockets and send to other countries.
We are already paying for water with taxes added.
You also pay GST on top of the Carbon “Tax”.
Has anyone watched "Rango"? It's predictive programming about water.
that's right, we have a water meter we pay based on consumption plus other crap added. Paying for water in the most water rich country in the world is preposterous.
Shut up liberal.
Paying for water is only "preprosperous" as you put it IF You are only using water which you have collected directly from source, treated filtered etc. yourself, then after use disposed of after treatment onto your own land. Paying for metered water seems reasonably fair, or did you think it's collected, treated, delivered, used, filtered and discharged at no cost OR that we should all pay at a flat rate nomatter how much we use or waste?
my electric bill in Alberta charged me 49.00$ for carbon tax , I looked out the window and didn’t notice the weather has changed at all .
Yep and somehow you get that money back and the money from your gas...especially the carbon tax you pay indirectly from everything you buy or use...
Pure BS. I am paying more than I get just from living, working and raising a family. Not including anything I buy by the way
It's amazing to me that these people can call themselves liberals.
Wdym? I thought they were the in red Germany transfers from world war 2.

"Not a tax, it's a levy"... Wtf is the difference?
GET YOUR GRUBBY HANDS OUT OF OUR POCKETS!!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
It's not a liberal, it's a communist !!
See how long her hands and fingers are, she would be a world-class pick-pocket on the street, but doing it in government is way more rewarding
@stillasking I looked up "Levy" in my copy of the Oxford English Dictionary. A Levy is a Contribution, Tax, etc. A Levy is usually applied to Property. No mention of Water. You are correct. It's another Liberal Tax Gouge.
Quality of life, hygiene and the mental stability is declining. Now the Federal Government wants to tax water? Canada will be a third world Country in no time. At least all the new immigrants will feel right at home.
Leah can shut up. We have had enough!!!
We are being re--colonized.
We already pay GST on our water consumption. Apparently, that's not enough for the Kokanee Groper.
This country is without Spirit.

@-FreeAlberta- taxes on taxes. BTW if you want to free Alberta, I'm on board.
"Behavioral changes" aka coercive measures. The absolute ineptitude of these politicians is mind-blowing!
Its not the government's job to change our behavior. Any government that wants to tell grown ass adults what to do is not a government that represents the people.
This is INSANE!!!!!!!!
This is gone too far Trudeau needs too go away.
I can't believe taxing water is even a thing, we have a right as human beings to have access to clean water. What won't this crappy government tax?
Is it not concerning to anyone that our government is openly and proudly discussing using social engineering practices to manipulate us into adopting their agendas?
Great point. This is all Psyops to influence the people to adopt certain behaviours and accept this overtaxation
It concerns plenty of us. It concerns us that some comments here will jail people for life if this sinister government has its way.
I cant be trained ask my parents..teachers..wife...they need to wait till gen x is gone were all untrainable
I have a razor sharp double bit axe that is waiting for someone to come and tell me I can't water my garden.
Considering that the Liberals all need some serious therapy, it’s not surprising, but alarming.
Apparently, they think they are the only adults in Canada.
I would love as millions of others Canadians would to have JT in a room and “change his behaviour “. What a sick human.
As a Canadian with a well I’m offended by them saying I pay nothing for my water treatment.
Since when can you tax water
It's a necessity for life
They need to be sent to prison. They work for us! How dare they tell us what we need to do!!!
EXACTLY....LIFE IN PRISON IS REQUIRED. 💥
Well, people vote them in so you give them power. Abolish all government.
In the end, they'll probably wish they'd been safe behind bars.
Some old busybody lady without a life of her own telling Canadian's that the government knows what's best for them! She reminds me of every teacher I had in grade school who hated anything masculine and anything they could not control! She is the political face of evil!
@D33Lux Well, 2/3rds of it for sure.
Stop giving our f*cking water to Nestle for nothing.
Yup, there are DEALS and AGREEMENTS and RATES for industry and those great city commercial high rises.
The one policy of Harper's that Traiteau secretly loves... 🤔
Makes me wonder if "perks" come with the office of PM.
How can we stop his behavior.? Tired of criminals stealing everything...?
Why would anyone want to live in Canada with our weather, unless we have a higher quality of life than elsewhere. We had it. We lost it. Taxes taxes taxes!!!!
Sick of everything liberal. Go away
Notice how the Liberals, NDP and the Traitor Party all stifle debate on what Canadians are concerned about?
The Liberal party is Canada's Socialist party and the NDP is our main stream commie party..
All real Liberals/conservative are in the conservative party. Remember, it was a Liberal conservative party for a short bit
wake up this is a municipal tax don,t believe the conservative con job
Go away FOREVER!!
Everyone with a functioning brain is sick of these clowns!
these pricks are just not gonna stop taxing the hell out of us this is getting to be bullshit.
Probably tax the air we breath next.
Dam right, I'm not giving another extra cent.

I'm going to say it's probably a good thing that I'm not drinking the governments water...
I'm surprised these people can still walk down the street. Shove your experts!
They don’t anymore. When was the last time you saw your provincial or federal MP?
@@terencesayers3478 Never seen one
When they speak against people. They should hide.
And that is why
@@moose4488 it didn't work for Mussolini and that is exactly what I expect because they both work/worked for the same people.
Always be wary when someone says expert but does not divulge who the expert is nor their background. Because a couple "Experts" speak for all the other "Experts" and for all the people as infallible and unbiased beings of pureness who only want the best for everyone who all want and need the same thing
Changing peoples behavior is just a longer way of saying dictatorship!
1) the carbon tax IS a tax, because NOT ALL of it is returned to the consumer, the federal government retains a portion
2) the carbon tax IS A TAX, because although part of it is returned to the consumer, it is NOT returned to the consumer that it was taken from. To NOT to be a tax, the $900 taken in tax from the couple in Lethbridge Alberta should be given back to the couple in Lethbridge Alberta. It should not be given to a totally different couple in small town Ontario who only paid $400 in tax. A couple with the family income of $100000 annually pays far more tax, than the couple who makes $50000 annually, but they often get back an equal amount of tax, or what is usually the case, the couple with the lower income, receive less rebate. This is simply another Liberal wealth redistribution scheme.
The government has no right to change my behaviour in a free country!
I wonder why they want all the guns?
to render us defenseless, in the event of civil unrest or marshal law. They are going way to far with this bogus crap.
This way the people don't resist when they enact a 100% trudeau is a dictator tax.
Punishment by tax doesn't change behavior in a good way. That's manipulation
And blackmail, coercion. And holding you hostage, can't think of more.
It's called wealth redistribution. Trudeau knows people are not going to stop driving or heating their house. It's a cash grab.
We've got to be close to the tipping point. Either that, or we've been boiled slowly and don't care.
It's not all paid back!
She is obviously from Quebec, so why is their version of a carbon TAX less than the rest of Canada!
JT says that you can do your own thing as long as you have the same goal!
There is over 2 billion dollars that have not been paid back, so it is a TAX!
Behavior economics! You are only penalizing the middle class and the poor, the rich don't care!
Maybe all the city dwellers should stop flushing toilets every time. No baths. No watering lawns. No swimming pools.
I'm so so done with all the taxes we pay in Canada , and the federal government
I'm selling everything and moving to another country
Bye bye
I'm think the same.
House is for sale and off as soon as it sells, enough is enough….
I’m in the process too. I’m done. Talking to realtor in 3 days.
Got real estate coming in next month
they are ahead of us on that . Look what you are going to pay for living canada. That is why they said. You will be Brock And Owen nothing.😢
In China they too “Change Behaviour” of their citizens.
china is communist they have been screwed up for ever.
Yes! They use Tanks while our Government uses pens, paper and policies, the outcome is the same!!
Laura Collins is the biggest tool in the tool box so is Leah Roy
When all she can do is fight the language, she's proving that he is correct in his assertions.
Getting ridiculous (stealing from the public)
It's not really a tax because for every $1,500 they take, they will give you back $500. See their logic? I don't.
it's nothing but a sleazy on artist scam.
They also don’t pay interest for holding the capital. Government can’t pay interest, they don’t make a profit.
They would break your leg and then say "Look, we care about them, we gave them crutches"
I haven't seen a cent returned any one else
@@mikejobling3400 It must be another lie by Justin Brandeau.
I wish the government would represent the Canadians that voted them in instead of pushing their ridiculous agendas.
Liberal logic "will tax you but give you more money back." Huh, how does that make any sense
I’m not sure people who don’t know what a tax is, should never be running anything!!
carbon is necessary for survival, its natural. and what kind of bs is this its not a tax thingy.... its a tax.
This session is a great example of how tax dollars are wasted !
I had a dream the other night where the House of Commons was on fire and burning brightly against the Ottawa skyline… Canadians of all stripes gathered to watch the flames light up the sky. And then The People began to clap their hands! And they shouted out joyfully into the night that they felt FREE again!! And when I awoke, I felt sad that at the realization that it was just a dream…
If Liberals are so concerned about clean water…then why has no one brought up that Quebec has been dumping mass tonnages of sewer waste into the St. Lawrence for YEARS! 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤦♂️
Absolutely correct
Liberals only favor Quebec.
Quebec does whatever they want because they are elite, special and royalty.... at least thats what they believe.
Typical French hypocrisy
Lol... it isn't just quebec dumping waste into the water.
I lived in Victoria BC for years... the water at the shoreline around that city is absolutely disgusting... and the smell on a hot summer day is revolting.
Water is taxed, 4 times a year, on amount used. The provinces are in charge of their systems, no to any Federal fraudulent fingers in Canadian lives.
We just got charged $2000 for water on our Property tax and then they still charge us $250 Quarterly WTF
We can charge them back when we piss it out, we can then lie to them and say "we gave them back more them we took!"
@@kevinryder5246 Check your bill, the sanitation charges are taxing your piss, too!
Ooooooo experts oooh jeez let’s just listen to them because of their…. Ex..per ..rise? From where? When what worked out? Canadian politicians need to do their jobs.

There you go that would be a good start.
So does Victoria.
Water is a necessity of life. There is no way in hell should they be allowed to tax Water.
Get these bums out now
People need to take heed and remember who voted for this , and against this… and the next election vote for freedom of these tyrannical taxes…
You don’t actually believe that votes still matter do you?
We are carbon, we must be captured.
Why are they trying to change our behaviour? F off. Change your behaviour! You serve us. Not the other way around.
That's the main problem with society today, too many people believe we exist to serve the state rather than the state existing to serve us.
Please come to my door and tell me it is Not a tax
Please come to my door as a liberal and try to talk to me period o please do see how that works out.
I was born on this Earth. I own the water like everyone else on this planet does, I shouldn't be asked to pay for the right to use water!!!!
Ok ..the govt buildings in ottawa have a very very heavy carbon foot print so we as Canadians charge the carbon tax on all govt buildings be paid by ALL OF YOU POLITICAL PEOPLES WHO SIT IN THESE BUILDINGS .OUT OF YOUR WAGES ..RETRO ACTIVE TO THE TIME ALL GOVT BUILDINGS IN OTTAWA WERE BUILT!!
It is important. It is a tax.
Water is never lost. Why should we pay for something that is not used up. Or depleted , Water is recycled. Treated and used again. We pay for the treatment of the water. We dont deplete the amount of water.
Water is god given for our survival !
The water is fluoridated and that is and will and has changed behaviours , no wonder why Canadians are so dosile?
Well they certianly let us know who our immediate enemy and threat is!!!
They are going after water now? Good grief there is no shortage of water in Canada. I pay for my well, for my pump, and the electricity to run it. There is no way I'm going to pay more, not without a fight.
This won't get passed, Trudeau will be gone in 2025. But the next far left radical extremist government that Ontario elects for Canadians will probably pass it.
I'm a single retired widow that pays over $200.00 a month on a flat rate water system where live. How much water do you think I can use? The town has to drain the water tank because the water doesn't get used fast enough. How is taxing water going to fix anything? Just the same as, how is taxing us into poverty going to stop pollution?
time to start collecting a political levy of 75% of their wages & spread their wealth back to the people...
also impose a levy on Federal workers & give back to the people...
two sides to a coin, a right side and a wrong... these opponents to the truth are definitely on the wrong side...
show them Behavioral Economics & see how they'd run
Oh my god!!! The lieberals are out of touch now let’s tax water!!
Everyone see and hear that, it's all about control.
You can call it turkey dinner but its a tax
Why will they not acknowledge the FACT Canada is a carbon sync absorbing over twelve times what it emits. This is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist in Canada. The same parties that want to reduce carbon emissions globally refuse to supply allies with LNP, which would drop co2 emissions globally by 40% immediately by replacing coal and oil, which is what the ones who want our energy are trying to achieve...🤦♂️
The difference:
"Taxes are involuntary in that its compliance is compulsory but not intended to be punitive. On the other hand, levies are also involuntary in that its compliance is compulsory but most times intended to be PUNITIVE. e.g. fines and penalty."
access to clean drinking water in Canada is a Human Right!!
NO MORE DAM TAXES .How about cut their pay enough is enough . Just how much taxes do these politician pay ???? Solman
when a price is paid for something, it is an exchange. Where is my pollution? When will the gov't deliver it to me? The Trudeau gov't is conflating the word "price" with "tax".
like how the lieberals only ask questions when the witness doesn't go against their narrative
Its a tax
Water never disappears!!!
It goes round and round.
So does carbon
Yep but we use it and is not ours
@@mumbai3899
It’s not ours?? Who do you think owns water? The government??
As a Canadian tax payer I would like to put a motion before the people to see how many would vote in favor of firing at least half of the politicians and cut the pay of the remaining ones to minimum wage. That serve us, it should be us determining their wage, not them deciding how much they make.
Keep it up liberals and find out what’s about to happen next
Our municipality increased our water costs. From 100 bucks a year, to 100 bucks a month.
Clearly the feds need to get the heck out of municipal issues. !!!!!!
No need for high water taxes!
yup mine too, the same, for 2 people, no laundry. Its ridiculous. Water should be free in this country.
Not to worry, “The water will balance itself.”
@@poffu3842 No such thing as "free". It costs a fortune to treat drinking water. Fill the towers and reservoirs. Keep the pressure pipes and valves etc. in working order. Take the waste and treat it again before dumping it back into the lakes, rivers and oceans. So no, you can't have "free" water. That said, we already pay taxes in a hundred different ways PLUS utility payments PLUS usage rates - any new or increased tax is just more money for these crooked ccksckrs to buy more votes from stupid people.
These politicians need to be put back into the private market and put on the average Canadians wage.
Omg , we need these people out

Leah- Canadians change behavior. Are you kidding?? How about politicians change THEIR BEHAVIOR.
Criminals
I am so sick of these kinds of people non stop trying to raise the cost of everything in this country. They keep spewing their dogma and our costs keep going up and up. That women at the start clearly shows the mentality of these people. All they care about is their dogma, not how much things cost in this country now because of them.
