I've been a little hesitant
to throw my unqualified support behind Andrew Scheer in spite of the
continuing mess created by Justin Trudeau. After watching Scheer during
the "townhall" last evening I was impressed by his causal demeanor,
sincerity and obvious empathic position on many issues important to
Canadians. I still want to hear more policy specifics, but I'm 90%
there.

can absolutely play a role in encouraging innovation as well."

Oh wait, they didn't did they? They just sat on the extra cash!!!!!!

Mr Scheer does not appear to
accept that the climate change issue is serious and demands concerted
action sooner rather then later. Relying on random innovation is not
going to do it. It is a fact that carbon pricing is acknowledged as the
most efficient way to lower carbon emissions among economists,
especially given the tax will be mostly refunded. Canada has to do
it's part for climate change.

Scheer once again is showing
that he and his Party ares unfit for government in the 21st century.
Climate change is an overwhelming threat to human existence as outlined
by world class climate experts. And yet, Scheer refuses to take the
issue seriously and instead engages in dishonest political games.
His backbiting comments about the new NAFTA trade deal is also dishonest. He has refused to acknowledge that the deal was the result of trying to negotiate with an unhinged President and the gang of weirdos that have collected around him.
It's very disappointing to have an opposition leader who does not offer thoughtful and considered criticism.

Why did Andy shut down an investigation into a major leak of private information to a gun lobby? You only close an investigation when you have the guilty party yet Andy refuses to be transparent and tell us who is guilty or hold the guilty party accountable!!!

should ask the RCMP to launch an investigation into all the money the
liberals squandered on the gun registry Oh Yea the RCMP wanted it so
that would go nowhere fast N'esy Pas?

@Troy Mann I have a better
idea why not launch an investigation of the investment industry
Methinks that is something you know a lot about Nesy Pas?
Mike Fisto
@David Amos The public,
particularly in Quebec, were yelling for a gun registry, so they spent
some money. Then, as anticipated by most gun owners, it turned into a
money pit, a boondoggle that cost us big bucks to try to implement. IMO,
most Canadians want common sense gun control and the system attempted
was NOT that. It's a political rule of thumb: create an agency that not
ALL of the people want, and watch it turn into a money pit. Need I
mention the repeated requests for more time and more money for the
inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women? Same old story.
Gimme gimme gimme, more time, more money. At least the government knew
when to say "enough already". The CPC, to give credit where its due,
warned us that it would be costly and resolve nothing.

So, Scheer complains that a price on carbon is a tax on commuters and free pass for polluters.
Ignoring for now that most of us will get back more than we paid...
How will he make polluters pay? What is he telling the oil patch and large emitters across the country? Because those industries will tell him that if they pay they won't be "competitive".
CAPP is pushing for an increase in emissions:
"CAPP’s recommendations advocate for a strong growth scenario for the oil and natural gas industry in Alberta, increasing its competitiveness in the global energy market and attracting investment back to the province. CAPP’s Energy Platform sets goals to ensure the rate of Alberta’s oil and natural gas supply doubles in growth and helps meet global demand; "
Note that global demand will be dropping if it lives up to the Paris Agreement.
We've been waiting 20-30 years for industry to get their act in gear. Obviously they won't do it voluntarily. And apparently they don't want the world to meet the Paris Agreement.

@Eileen Kinley Who is "we" ?
Norm Head
Scheer is the man for who's
plan is not having a plan. "Industry will do it." Just like they do low
cost affordable housing. All these things the private sector was
supposed to accomplish really didn't pan out. The Government will
provide "incentives" , to the good friends of the Conservative party.
The other 60% of the population will be shut out. Just like in Harper's
day.
Doug Sanden
@Norm Head Agreed - can't
absolutely count on private sector to hit Paris targets voluntarily -
public companies have a duty to shareholders to maximize shareholder
value within laws and regulations, and unless they can earn some good
will from customers to offset price increases for decarbonizing at net
cost, they are unlikely to. Small business are usually in a dogfight
with near competitors, and can't usually voluntarily decarbonize at net
cost and pass the price on without losing businesses to dirtier
competitors, A carbon tax makes that fair again.

@Doug Sanden Decarbonization? Don’t mix pollution with CO2 (carbon dioxide).
CO2 is not a pollutant.
CO2 is an essence of life. "The theory of life, in brief, is such that carbon dioxide is the basic nutrition of every life form on Earth... It acts as the regulator of all functions in the organism, it maintains the internal environment of the organism, it is the vitamin of all vitamins." Dr. K. P. Buteyko
"Carbon dioxide is, in fact, a more fundamental component of living matter than is oxygen. Carbon dioxide is the chief hormone of the entire body; it is the only one that is produced by every tissue and probably acts on every organ." Yandell Henderson, Ph.D. The function of our respiratory system is not just to push air in and out but to maintain a very specific ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide. HOW MUCH CARBON DIOXIDE DO WE NEED?
THE AIR THAT WE BREATHE CONTAINS 200 TIMES LESS CARBON DIOXIDE THAN WE NEED AND 10 TIMES MORE OXYGEN THAN WE NEED. Low carbon dioxide causes stress on all the body's organ systems.

Kill carbon tax? I want it -
economists agree its the _cheapest_ way to accelerate decarbonization
-as measured in $/tonne abated or % GDP. Every other way costs more for
less. Including incentives (will need a tax grab to pay for them, or
they will be piddly marginal stuff). And I'm in 66 tonne/capita AB
(Canada averages 15 tonnes/capita) - AB has a long way to decarbonize,
we need the cheapest way.
David Amos
@Doug Sanden Methinks economists would agree to anything you pay them to agree to N'esy Pas?
Doug Sanden
@David Amos No one is paying
them for a specific answer. Academics publishing studies in journals
are trying to come with the right / true answer. And EU, US and Canadian
academic economists agree broad based carbon pricing -including cap
& trade and carbon tax - is the most efficient / cheapest per tonne
abated. That's because those with the lowest marginal cost of abatement
will abate first. See ecofiscal.ca for studies by economists on carbon
pricing.

Let's remind Canadians what
happened last time an antiquated Conservative party was in charge of
Canada. All the new depths they dragged Canada down to, all those new
‘firsts’ for the country.
First time Canada had TWO recessions in under 8 years.
First Canadian Prime Minister held in CONTEMPT OF PARLIAMENT when Stephen Harper misappropriated tens of millions of dollars. Canadian hard earn tax dollars vanished.
First time Canada rescinded environmental protection for thousands of Canadian waterways and arboreal forests.
First time in history, Canada reduced civil rights and privacy of its citizens with an anti-terror bill and giving up Canadian privacy on the internet.
First time in history, Canada became a mouthpiece for Isreal and funding their border security in the tune of well over half a BILLION dollars under the guise of ‘foreign aid’.
First time in all of Canada’s history, the country could not garner the votes from the international community for a seat on the UN Security Council.
First time in Canada’s history gun lobbyists bragged about their free and easy access to Canadian top government.
First time in history, Canada became an environmental pariah in the international community.
First time a Canadian PM accrued $184 billion of debt for the country and then made $50 billion of it vanish from the books by simply using accounting tricks (google it) so he could claim a faux balance budget on an election year.
First time a Canadian PM made war on the free press to such a degree that Canadian reporters had to implore a visiting Chinese reporter to ask a question of Harper for them.
Etc, etc, etc,
I shiver to think what new depths another Conservative government will drag Canada down to.

Scheer sees friendly faces at Fredericton town hall
Federal opposition leader answered questions Monday night
The federal Conservative party leader took questions from a roomful of supporters in Fredericton Monday night.
Andrew Scheer stopped at the Fredericton Inn on his cross-country town-hall tour as the federal election draws close. The crowd of more than 500 people greeted Scheer with a standing ovation, and clapped after every answer.
Premier Blaine Higgs was in the front row, and received a few shout outs from Scheer throughout the night, including thanking him for joining "the fight against the carbon tax."
It was standing room only at the Fredericton Inn ballroom during Andrew Scheer's town hall. (Hadeel Ibrahim/CBC)
Scheer
started the town hall with a short speech in which he reiterated his
disapproval of the carbon tax, his support for the Energy East pipeline
and his attacks on Justin Trudeau's ethics.
Scheer said his carbon plan would "reduce emissions" but he did not reveal any specifics.
He took unscripted questions from the crowd on topics such as veterans' affairs, mental health waitlists and free trade.
A man identifying himself as a family doctor asked Scheer what he would do about possible mental health issues brought about by cannabis legalization.
Scheer started his answer by saying Conservatives would not recriminalize cannabis, but would conduct more research to find out the effects.
"What we need I believe is a huge amount of research to track this," he said. "There's no question that this is going to have ramifications so we need a government that's investing and making sure that we have the capacity to do studies."

Another
person asked Scheer about mental health waitlists, especially in New
Brunswick where some people wait months or years to see a mental health
professional without paying the expensive fees. She asked in particular
what Scheer plans to do to protect transgender people who might be more
likely to experience anxiety and depression.
"We need to absolutely have a partnership between federal government, provincial government, local health authorities to start looking at that," he said. "It's no less important than physical challenges someone's facing."
One questioner cited the case of Gerard Comeau, the man who lost a legal battle to move beer across the Quebec-New Brunswick border.
Scheer said stopping free trade across provincial borders is a mistake.
"I don't believe the federal government should be empowering provincial protectionism," he said, telling people to "stay tuned."
"We're going to have a series of policies that speak to tearing down provincial trade barriers not just because in terms of goods and services but also to allow companies in one province to work in another province."

Scheer tells N.B. town hall 'job #1' as PM would be to repeal carbon pricing
Scheer promises plan aimed at "incentivizing investments in energy efficiencies"
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer told a
town hall tonight that his first job as prime minister would be to
repeal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's climate change plan.
The national price on carbon is "a tax on commuters and a free pass for polluters," Scheer said. "Our plan will speak to reducing emissions by incentivizing investments in energy efficiencies. It will not be a punishment on hard-working families."
"Conservatives, job #1 will be to repeal the carbon tax."
Scheer made the comments in Fredericton, N.B. Progressive Conservative Premier Blaine Higgs was in the audience and was welcomed by Scheer, who thanked him for "joining the fight" against the carbon tax.
Scheer's is taking a campaign-style swing through a province that shut his party out in the last federal election.
The Liberals captured all 32 federal seats in Atlantic Canada during the 2015 election, including 10 in New Brunswick, something Scheer said his party will reverse in the fall election.
Scheer also
accused Trudeau's government of signing an updated NAFTA trade deal
that made concessions while getting nothing in return. The Conservative
leader said the deal was especially bad for Canada's dairy farmers.
"I could not believe, though, when I saw the details about what Trudeau agreed with in terms of limiting what Canada can export to other countries," Scheer.
"This is the first free trade deal I've ever seen between two countries where one country agrees not to sell to a third country, to leave space for their competitors to fill that. And that was part of what Trudeau signed on to, giving away our sovereignty to seek out export markets."
Scheer said his party will closely examine a planned compensation plan for dairy farmers.
Asked what he would do to help Canada make a swift transition to a low-carbon economy, Scheer replied by saying that industry should play a leading role.
"As innovations take place and as companies invest in different types of power sources, those types of things will be occurring, in some cases, naturally as part of the economy progresses, and society progresses," he said. "And government can absolutely play a role in encouraging innovation as well."
Scheer said his party will unveil a policy to break down interprovincial trade barriers, "not just in terms of goods and services but also people, allowing companies in one province allowed to be able to compete for work in another province. That creates competition, that creates better products for consumers."
The Conservative leader said that provinces should look inward at reducing trade barriers and that the federal government should play a leadership role in that effort.
On Tuesday, he speaks to a business audience in the morning before meeting with Premier Higgs and his cabinet and holding a policy brainstorming session with Conservatives from across Atlantic Canada.
Donald Wright, a political scientist at the University of New Brunswick, said the party needs to find strong local candidates to ensure they aren't shut out again in Atlantic Canada.
Wright said Scheer's base is in Western Canada and he will need to raise his profile in the Maritimes.
He said he expects the Conservatives will target a number of key issues, including the Liberals' carbon tax plan.
