@JoshSmee Plus, being forced into the federal backstop system might be politically more attractive than opting in, but jurisdictions that join voluntarily get full control of the proceeds. So I think this is a missed opportunity (in a bunch of ways) for the provincial government.

[Beth Schwartz @ProfBSchwartz]

@JoshSmee If the province is committed to helping NLers cope with increasing home heating oil prices or addressing other causes and symptoms of inequity, there are better ways than complaining about carbon pricing. Like helping people electrify heating systems.

[Beth Schwartz @ProfBSchwartz]

@JoshSmee My understanding is that yes, it's broadly progressive and the main challenge for low-income folks is the schedule of quarterly payments. But, the province isn't helpless here. There's lots of ways they could chose to support low-income individuals and families, and renters too.

@naana_adofo @MemorialU Congratulations!!!

@robertp41895580 @davidrbrake @MunicipalNL @CityofStJohns @stjohnsfpc @HappyCitySJ Local requirements are generally not allowed because of Canada's international trade agreements. But in general, companies that win contracts in Canada use local labour because it's too expensive to import people from elsewhere.

@walkabilly @davidrbrake @MunicipalNL @CityofStJohns @stjohnsfpc @HappyCitySJ Give me a bit to look into the specifics of the provincial legislation (baby takes up a lot of time). I'll get back to you.

@wallylayman @AwkwardinNL @NLArcade @JohnJeddore @voteophelia I've been having trouble finding Art's platform. Is there material beyond the flyer and the campaign Facebook page?
