a quick thought to share…
It is tax season and every single time I go through this I am totally baffled that every single Canadian Citizen is going through the same thing as myself… and… we are all ok with it?

We are all being punished for our hard work. We are all paying more and more the more we contribute to a better community, to a greater economy, to a more advanced society. The harder we work the more we are punished.
Since when is our efforts, brains and hard work a public good.
According to myself, the Green Party’s globally and many other Countries worldwide; the only thing that is apublic good and can be taxed are our natural resources and our environment. None of us have ownership on the water, land, air and energy. These are public goods and therefore when we pay our taxes we should pay for how much we use of these public goods.
A Carbon tax is fair !
A carbon tax Canada would discourage mass consumption instead of discouraging hard working individuals.
A carbon tax Canada would encourage conservation, and encourage the protection of our natural resources instead of encouraging laziness and trickery.
A Carbon Taxed Canada would bring awareness to our consumption and help all of us understand and relate to our foot-print.
A Carbon Tax Canada give YOU the CHOICE to save money on taxes by using less energy, water, producing less waste.

Lets give the choice and awareness back to Canadian and stop punishing them for their efforts.
