Poilievre calls for gas taxes to be scrapped for rest of year Pierre Poilievre is calling for federal gas taxes to be scrapped for the rest of the year, arguing the tax holiday would bring immediate relief to drivers facing rising fuel prices.

Let's be clear. Gas tax cuts right now only jack up profits for (war profiteering) Big Oil. And because our Oil & Gas sector is largely foreign owned those profits leave Canada. What's needed is a #WindfallProfitsTax. A big one. A really BIG one. #EndFossilFuels

The spike in crude oil prices over the weekend led to prices rising at the pumps, almost immediately Companies and dealers are once again gouging consumers, so maybe it's time to pass a permanent #WindfallProfitsTax to punish these unscrupulous businesses

This is Chris Packham, noted environmentalist, speaking to the Brits but he might as well be speaking to Canadians. The fossil fuel companies had their chance. They could have been part of the energy transition. But they chose unwisely. Time to make them pay. #ClimateAction #WindfallProfitsTax

Trump calls to ‘open up’ British North Sea, get rid of windmills The U.S. president-elect’s post on Truth Social was in response to a report about U.S. oil and gas producer APA Corp’s unit Apache’s plans to exit the North Sea by year-end 2029

The man is a dangerous idiot. And this illustrates the big problem with gerontocracies - he won't be around to suffer the worst effects of the climate disaster his fealty to fossil fuels brings. #ClimateAction #EndFossilFuels #WindfallProfitsTax
