Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley is pro carbon tax CanadiansInvest
The carbon tax hits every form of petroleum-based fuel. It adds 11 cents per litre to the cost of gasoline and 13 cents per litre of diesel. That means driving to work and hauling our supplies, including groceries, is more expensive because of this punishing tax.
Within the next eight years, the Trudeau-Singh carbon tax on that family’s winter heat for just one month will be $280. But we don’t have to wait that long for the pain to intensify. The Trudeau-Singh carbon tax will jump up tonext year, and the government is creating a second carbon tax that will add about 10 cents more per litre. The second carbon tax is a government fuel regulation that makes gasoline and diesel cost more.
Notley has signalled that her NDP team won’t waiver in its support for the carbon tax. Even when the price at the pump was at a 10-year-high this past June,refused to join the Alberta government’s calls for Ottawa to suspend fuel taxes and carbon taxes.

Chiang’s amendment would, among other things, ban “rifles and shotguns” that are “capable of discharging centre-fire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner,” guns firing with more than 10,000 joules of energy, and those with “a bore diameter of 20 mm” or greater. “We just put forward a list and we’re consulting with Canadians on that,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Papineau, Que.) said on Dec. 5. “That’s what we’re listening to: feedback on how to make sure that we’re not capturing weapons that are primarily hunting weapons.” Screenshot of The_Phaedron’s Reddit post encouraging ‘left-wing’ hunters to contact NDP MPs to encourage them to opposed the amendments to Bill C-21. Screenshot courtesy of Reddit In a post pinned to the top of r/CanadaHunting, a user by the name of “The_Phaedron,” who identified himself as a member of a riding executive in a midsize city who has worked on campaigns for the NDP in rural ridings, encouraged other “left-leaning” hunters to email NDP MP Alistair MacGregor (Cowichan–Malahat–Langford, B.C.), the party’s public safety critic, to pressure him to vote against the amendments at committee.
