Forest fires: 64% arson, 33% lighting, 2% unknown
false numbers
@CraZY.pRIME. Apparently, you missed your 546.923 dose of vaxx...
@@CraZY.pRIME. last year, Vancouver Island, 100% of wild fires due to human activity.
@@doug6784 Human activity is not arson, learn the difference.
@@CraZY.pRIME. Doug was siting Vancouver Island. The OP was siting overall within Canada. You need to learn your stats! Most fires are arson, or caused by "human activity" by throwing cig butts out of car windows, mowing can cause sparks, unattended or improperly put out camp fires, exhaust pipes on off road vehicles..... The list is very very long. But it is rather telling that 4 out of 5 currently burning fires in Northern Alberta are all arson. The major Quebec fires last year were also arson.
Tom Mulcair blaming forest fires on "climate change" is either idiotic or dishonest...
We all know it’s arson.
Mulcair with a moron NDP talking point that makes no sense whereby he accuses conservatives as not being fiscally responsible if the carbon tax is cut during the summer? What wacko drugs is he on?
war in the world will change any climate effort from the small population of Canada lol
There weasn1t such a thing as forest fires when he was young.
@@trigremlin Humans have always started fires either on purpose or by carelessness.
The difference now is that the forests are extremely dry as a function of human caused climate change. Making a containable fire something that pollutes New York City.
The carbon tax has shown zero effect on climate change. 😂
That is what net zero means. Taxes go up, weather remains tied to the sun.
Tough to change something that is probably not real.
NOT YET OVER TIME IT WILL AND U KNOW THAT TOO U KNOW I KNOW U KNOW
@@kayziacoutureclothing4035 I just want you to know that Uncle Klaus is very proud of you.
Trudeau is wacko.
Liberals /NDP should go
Liberal programs I pay into: ALL
Liberal programs that benefit me: NONE
You are not alone! 😡
In fact they harm you and everyone else.
Me too, and I’m a veteran.
You literally get a rebate every 3 months
@@Natelmun A rebate is a little bit of the cash that you have overpaid into. Whoopi (sarc). Those few pennies you get back in a "rebate" cover maybe 2 months worth of the increase in groceries.
I bet the country doesn't burn under Pierre ...
You NEED to DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE AND YOUR HOME BURNS UP YOU MIGHT HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION I SEE COMMON SENSE ISN,T COMMON WITH YOU AND CONSERVATIVES
@@flomo7382 I have great sympathy for anyone whose home is threatened or burned. The question is a consumer carbon tax going to s top any home from burning. It hasn't since the carbon tax was enacted.
@@flomo7382I’ll go fill up everything that runs on gas that I own, tomorrow morning. That should at least help put out a couple fires right? Lol 😂
@@flomo7382 Get some Blue Tarps Karen
Yes please do your homework on the fires burning our country!!!!! The fires are NOT, I repeat NOT from climate change!!!! They are from humans either purposely or by accident!!!!
Such a drama teacher
NDA's are his best friend.
Carbon tax to fix forest fires is like a snake oil salesman claiming his new elixir will cure all disease.
The tax hasn’t stopped the fires yet? When will it start working?
The tax already saved Canada from burning to a crisp and massive flooding plus a tsunami and the recent solar storm would have taken out the electrical grid. Money well spent... Just imagine how bad it could have been.
That’s perfect! 😂 We’re ALL waiting for it to work!
@@MuskieanglerBAHAHAHAA. I have a bridge you can buy there genius.
@@Dollymixture99 A little on the scary side that you didn't pick up on the sarcasm.
@Muskieangler nice one..😂😂
Canada needs a government that takes care of roads and infrastructure to enable Canada to prosper... I tire of the lectures and drama the liberals bring to the table.
Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads
-steven gilbault 2024
Justin prefers to set course on the highway to hell.
Friend, if you tire of theatrics and drama, then tell Pierre to stop yelling bloody murder with silly political stunts. It’s Pierre that brings drama and he does it for personal power. He does not care you or me. Look at his record.
That's a provincial issue.
@@ftrudy6053Lol. One of the best lines in Back to the Future
Taxing Canadians into poverty won't change the weather.
I think it will.When men have nothing,they have nothing to lose.
Canada captures 12x more carbon that it emits. Thanks to our great forest.
Not a SINGLE Liberal program that all my tax money goes to benefits me. Not ONE. Literally not one. I just keep having to pay more and more and more and more and still can barely afford to keep myself afloat. This country is doomed.
We all should stop paying taxes.
Bill C-63, be careful.
You don't have healthcare? Poor baby. Maybe figure out how your government works before you cry about it on the internet.
@@StormcastMarinehealthcare is provincial, untroubled by irony are we.
@@ianarchibald1423 Not hate speech. Learn the bill.
Trudeau is a fool
I knew from day one, that he was an embarrassment for Canada and way out of his league.
@@susanp7194 The same as Stephen Harper.
@ajimbo12345 Thats funny. Stephen Harper is revered world wide by other leaders. Mr. Dress up is not.
@@ajimbo12345 Hey Gimpo, Harper is still very well respected the world over. The pride parade "she-tard" destroying this country is not. Shunned and ignored by some even.
@@lornemyers6638 I believe you've misconstrued my intent. What I meant was you and Stephen Harper recognized the same thing at the same time.
Stephen Harper has always been a hero of mine. (Plus they love cats of which we, my wife and I, have a few.) Harper was the best and I believe Pierre will
match or even surpass his excellence.
Arson is not climet change
Forest fires you say? Must be Arson Season again in Canada.
A narcissist will never ever be told they. Are wrong
Axe the tax !
Axe the tax, then stop all the money being thrown out of Canada, that should balance it.
Axe the tax is a call to trickle down economics. Which is a failed economic experiment extremely rich conservatives sell to the masses while the money only goes to their buddies. I wish you’d know that you’re just getting scammed.
Arson season is in full bloom. Several fires started on the same day, May 10, a coincidence?
So, is Canada's carbon tax preventing forest fires ? Forest fires last summer and this coming summer ?
The Paris accord hurts Canadians.
J.T. and his wacko issues have become useless, time to give Canadians a break
If someone only has personal insults, the facts aren’t on their side. Yes, Pierre can tell very very loud about nonsense and use you to help himself. He doesn’t care about you or me; he just wants to get elected. Solutions over slogans!
I don’t understand Tom’s point. He says the government not collecting the carbon tax will hurt their ability to balance the budget. But I thought that the money collected all went back to Canadians anyway. So how does it affect the government’s income. If anything they will SAVE money on not having to manage the collection and redistribution of the revenue.
Totally agree with PP
Also need to get rid of the NDP in BC. It typical NDP ruining another province 😢
i wish a real journalist would actually call Trudeau what he is....A LIAR
Excellent point and completely accurate.
What a bunch of bums
so I guess Trudeau is happy with the fires
We are actively paying the carbon tax … why are forest fires and floods happening now?
All that money is going to other countries like the Ukraine.
Haven't heard about any floods this year.
@@doug6784ok I guess it’s working … my bad 1/2 ain’t bad
It takes times for economic incentives to curb effects and the impact is neither immediate nor fully ameliorating.
Did mulclair say its undeniable because of the fires? The investigations from last year pointed out that nearly all fires were accidents and arson. A few were lightning, and a number were unknown. Sorry there bud. But both the fires in quebec and around alberta are showing the same trends. Also love it how they dont call it summer anymore. "Wildfire season" .
So…the result of paying the carbon tax in Canada is no more fires? Gonna need some proof on that one.
ARSON SEASON PROPOGANDA
How many fires are set by arsonists?
I'm not sure who Trudeau is talking to here... but its a safe bet they still live home with their parents.
How can the carbon tax reduce Canada debt if all Canadians get back what there putting in to the tax
Afaik how it's *supposed* to work is individual Canadian citizens get the tax they pay in back as a rebate but companies and corporations pay into it as a corporate tax they aren't reimbursed for.
@tinfoilslacks3750 and they raise prices and pass it down to consumers
They steal from some to give to others.
@@tinfoilslacks3750 So why not just cut the consumer portion of the tax? Why create all the extra paperwork?
Not sure how it affects the budget when we're getting back more than we put in.......Right?!?!? Thank Christ we're not as stupid as they think we are.
Where is Vassy?
She would have the facts and hold their feet to the fire.
Fortmcmurray has had low temperatures and lots of rain. But fires are sparking up overnight with no lighting storms . Very suspicious
We shouldn't be taxed to live!!
Anarchy is sort of a weird take to have in 2024 tbh
Look at the polls…..who has a better idea?
Would be nice but will never ever happen under Liberal NDP. Love what future PM Pollieve is doing though
Mr Mulcair isn't wrong per se; but why exactly does Atlantic Canada get an exemption then?
Only on home heating oil
@@angelamc6554 Cool. And why did the Liberal Minister say if the Prairie Provinces wanted something similar, they should just vote Liberal?
Wow, an ideological radical himself calling Pierre ideological
Literally tying the weather to a tax. This country is insane.
Trudeau "Oh Drama 😂😂"
The only time there wasn't forest fires in Canada is when it was covered by a mile of ice.
All of these panelists are disgraced ex-politicians. Tho at least Tom actually has some decent takes from time to time. 😭
Except when he praises Freeland.
Trudeau needs the funds for housing the asylum seekers, no pause.
Conservative MP Lianne Rood asked the government last week what “goods and services” are being provided to asylum seekers in Canada without approved applications.
Rood published the document containing the response, where the federal government stated that unapproved immigrants receive “$140 per night per room” and roughly “$84 per day” for food, totaling $224 per day per claimant
As Tom said the government will be farther in debt if they cancel the carbon tax; I thought that they paid it all back.
John Tory? Really? That cheat is the best you can do for a panel member? Fkn joke...
John works for ROGERs so he knows about “murkey” costs at RoGERS
Electrification will increase wildfires. When power-lines meet dry trees fires start. Pacific Gas and Electric in California is in trouble because of this fact.
And no one is going to talk about the fact that only Alberta and Saskatchewan saw their carbon numbers go down unlike every other province.
Carbon tax is shytingvthe bed again this year.
Trudeau definitely does not have a winning formula sorry Christie
Wrong Tom, PP is not denying climate change...he's denying the idea that the Carbon Tax is working!
Cause taxes will stop fires😂
The carbon tax can stop wild fires in its tracks
When you tax diesel fuel , local goods and services go up , plain and simple! EVERYTHING is shipped by diesel ! The carbon tax on diesel fuel is driving up the price of EVERYTHING!
trudeau should enter the MAID program
So John Tory's argument is that the carbon tax shouldn't be removed because "consumers might not know"?
Can we get some better panelists?
Pierre and the Conservative party know exactly what they need to do.. and are doing it.. they get my vote this time. NEVER GOING LIB AGAIN.
You have 3 former pols none of which support CPC. Well done.
The Carbon Rebate doesn't give as much as you spend. If you think the government would just give you more then they take you are delulu
One word WACKO
who is being paid, too burn, our County!?
How will they be in more debt if they stop colleting the tax, it is suppose to be revenue neutral !
Have you read the latest reports on climate? We put enough carbon into the atmosphere we won't stop the warming so we need to adapt and build fire breaks around towns and cities in danger. We need to start something like FEMA to respond. No Carbon tax or GST for three months. Need to cut government waste and trim the civil service and find ways to interduce AI and stop it with consultants.
😂😂😂 campaigning early JT? 😂😂😂
All these panelists are wacko
Will the carbon tax stop forest fires? If you believe that, I have some ocean front property in Regina to sell you.
What budget impact? We get it all back Christie
I’d love for someone to ask Trudeau how Canada itself can change the weather with taxes.
The choice is clear in every generation , cheap gas or lose your job. Social issues don’t feed families!
I wondered when they would tax the air you breath...only in Canada.😢😢 7:54
On the flip side, if I'm suffering this summer with affordability, I'm gonna notice that I'm paying carbon taxes and still seeing wildfires. So what's the point?
Nobody watches a tornado somewhere in the world and says if only we paid more carbon tax we could've stopped that
If taxes are axed will Canadians be able to afford necessities?
If taxes are in place will the fires go out, will the air clear?
I would like to know how a carbon tax is going to reduce wild fires.
Well we have it
and it's not
so it won't.
Mulcair saying it will make the Canadian government have more debt… isn’t most of it going back to Canadians in rebates? Or is it???? Hmmmmm.
I have lived in BC and AB my entire life. There were lots of wild fires back in the 80’s and 90’s then less for the 2000’s and 2010’s. The current wildfires are nothing new. Just a new cycle of a normal issue every summer.
We need more C02....
Mike, why do your panel never tell the public the % we pay for carbon tax, as we know the % we pay for hst(13%) . We also pay 13% hst on top of the carbon tax.
PP did talk about it he said that the federal liberals can reduce spending on Consultants which amounts to 21 billion dollars a year of which a small portion of that would easily offset the taxes collected in fuel
How about a winter carbon tax break?
The reduction or elimination of the carbon tax for the summer or indefinitely will not have any effect on forest fires, floods, droughts or other natural disasters period!
Since the carbon tax was introduced, an increase in carbon based fuels and its usage has increased.
John should not be in the news any more he had affairs with under age girl during Pandemic.
Angry Tom still doesn’t get it. The Canadian government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
How is Argentina turning their economy around so quickly? By getting rid of govt freeloaders. and reducing taxes to put money into peoples pockets that in turn revs up the economy.
Christy Clark needs to Run as the Leader in B.C àgain.
She would get things straightened up in a hurry.
Gosh golly! Didn't know that paying the carbon tax will stop forest fires. Never mind looking into forest practices and fire mitigation.
Had a bunch of rain in Alberta today…sorry Trudeau
JOHN TORY ,THE LORD HAS SEEN EVERYTHING,ALL YOUR DEEDS SHALL BE JUDGED,JUST LIKE YOUR COUSINS.
How about someone fights for Canada and Canadian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF is Mulcair smoking?
Trudeau should ditch his shirt for a T-Shirt that reads “Repent, the end is near.”
Trudeau your done it happens to every politician they have an expiration date your way past yours
60 % of all wild fires in Canada are considered human caused.....how do you throw money at that?
When is the Front Bench showing up on this show?
Regardless of how much Carbon tax is collected, we will be here again in 10-30- 50 - 100 years still watching the wildfires burn, it’s nature nothing can stop them.
