    I agree with Mr. Lecce. Someone who cares. The Carbon Tax is such a strain on Canadians. Not fair.

    This is the happiest I've seen Lecce in years. I'm sure he's so happy to finally be out of Education đŸ€Ł -- happy for him he finally gets to enjoy his job again.

    Finally, the world is waking up. There are more ways than taxes to reduce carbon footprint.

    Vassy: “but it’s working!”
 Ya, so would forcing everyone to burn their homes to the ground and have them all living in tents.

    The carbon tax is all bad. I own a small business involved in manufacturing for our construction and building industry, and pay over $2000 a year for a carbon tax on natural gas use. There is no alternative. To switch to electric heat would cost over $250,000 to do the switch and electricity is nearly 5X as expensive as natural gas. Customers cannot afford price increases. And many other business owners have worked to lower costs of materials and services with building. This government is completely out of touch with what we need and it's time for them to go!

    i dont care about climate change compared to how much i care about living a affordable life style

    I thinn Leech articulated the government’s points pretty clearly, not like Liberal members who only offer words of salad
 Trudeau will say “we continue to make investment that gonna benefit all Canadian”, you know, it is pretty much the thing he says in every context

    Dude stayed on point, and Vassy is fair and gives an even playing field to all her guests... she will grill them all😂
  • A mushroom farmer from. Ottawa Paid $ 16,000. Last Nov. in carbon. Taxes I seen the bill Increases food costs and allows off shore products to be imported
  • Vassy: Isn't it refreshing to interview a minister who actually is knowledgeable, attempts to respond to your actual questions and is a proven leader? He was a star minister of education...almost all Ontario parents loved his words and actions, unlike the teachers and unions who continue to whine about their poor working conditions(funny that most are on the sunshine list!)
