Also 50 bucks is just where the carbon tax dream begins:
$1:
Environment Canada told minister McKenna early in her mandate that a price on carbon would have to go as high as $300-per-tonne in 2050

I just paid a buck thirty a litre for gas to get to the superstore and almost fainted when I looked down at a little prime rib roast, weighing just over a kilogram. The price tag said $71.69. Honestly. I'm not shitting you. Who's even paying those kinds of prices? Gas tax lovers maybe. I guess they just shake their money tree or something.
Either that or they're willing to live on franks and beans so one day they may enjoy the snowy wonderland of a promised Goretopia where Polar Bears romp about, hugging the smiley-faced, little children of progdom in gratitude for all the new ice, or whatever it is they're believing this week.
