For those not seeing the connection between opposing action to reduce fossil fuel use (carbon tax is one tool amongst many, but CPC oppose the others as well), here’s a good explainer on link between wildfires and climate change

If a carbon tax worked, Keith. Which it won’t. Seriously. You’re making a grand assumption that has vast implications for the welfare of humanity. We have a month of fires, and you’re betting that a lifetime of being taxed into poverty is the answer. You’re wrong.

Although the government spent $801 million fighting forest fires in 2021’s summer wildfire emergency, this year the NDP budgeted only $32 million dollars for the permanent service.
Funding seems to be a factor
Not fairy tales

No, it's politicians standing at fires, pointing at it, and yelling "this is climate change!"
How about working to put it out, find out the source, and how to improve future fire management?

Carbon taxes would make almost no difference in these fires this year. It's profound ignorance to suggest otherwise. Climate change is real, but the relationship with these fires is weak.

@climatekeith
the fact that Canada has no plan to fight the fires tells me all I need to know about the current Federal gov't.
No plan
No action
No thanks.

Can someone please explain how cutting Canadas carbon emissions in half - from 1.5% globally to 0.75% globally - will actually stop global temperatures from rising, stop wild fires, stop the “climate emergency”???
