How deep have I had my head buried in the sand lately? I missed #BellLetsTalkDay. If that isn't on the nose, I don't know what is.

The floor is full of glass! Congratulations, @karla_macf_pc Madam Speaker!

@malta75616353 @GasPriceWizard That’s a cute thought, but I place value in everyone’s vote- not just the winning party

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

Nova Scotia is already reducing our GHG emissions WITHOUT a tax.

The price of literally everything just went up for no good reason.

We’re getting shafted by the federal Liberals and our MP’s are standing idly by.

Happy Canada Day.

[Tim Houston @TimHoustonNS]

Be sure to fill up today. 🚨

The first Liberal Carbon Tax hits #NovaScotia at midnight tonight, and by next weekend, gas prices will be up over 18 cents/litre. ⛽️

Instead of listening to our made-in-Nova Scotia solution, the Liberals are imposing their punishing carbon tax that will hurt Nova Scotians at the pump and beyond. 🤕 #nspoli #cdnpoli

@bucksbratbonnie It feels a lot like doomsday sometimes, doesn't it? Lots of exciting green initiatives in NS to keep us optimistic.

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@Paddy_Anne Of course climate change is a big concern! But rejecting a plan with 17% GHG reductions (which NS presented), only to impose a plan with ~2% reductions (Carbon tax in NS) for no reason other than it didn't include a price on carbon? That's bananas.

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@expressoholic @GasPriceWizard Atlantic Canada is also a place with lots of political views (and varied opinions)! Please don't lump us all together as supportive of a single ideology.

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@Paddy_Anne Paddy, I think you've been misinformed. Provinces are not able to opt out of the carbon pricing system. Nova Scotia presented the federal government with an alternative (stronger) plan, and it was rejected.

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@bucksbratbonnie Thanks for taking the time to have a meaningful discussion with me (not everyone is lol). Phasing out coal by 2030 is the law- and there is lots of clean energy being set up in the province. I have plenty of hope for a clean future here.

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@expressoholic @GasPriceWizard Atlantic Canadians are smart and self sufficient. We've had to be. I'm proud to live and work here.

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@malta75616353 @GasPriceWizard You know what's a great part of a healthy democracy? The ability to share one's views, and have a real dialogue. Try it sometime.

“NS has done a very good job…Emissions are down 36% from 1990 levels & the goal is to get to 40 by 2030.The Houston government presented a proposal that did not include a carbon tax, but has gotten the province 2the place of meeting those climate targets”https://t.co/LSomZiZ5xn

@justmetwo123 @bucksbratbonnie Ottawa seems resistant to sharing how their formula came up with the rebates. Perhaps you can find out more by speaking to your MP.

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@FreakingFedUp @GasPriceWizard I don't agree with throwing that word around, and I believe in governments working together for a common goal. In this case, I simply think that it can happen without a tax.

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@bucksbratbonnie But we have the best GHG reduction targets in Canada- and they've been put into law. NS has a published plan to achieve those targets, no tax necessary. So why make the affordability crisis any harder?

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@0153phil Can you please define 'ReformCON' and explain how the term applies to climate change policy?

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@merry123459 What a convincing argument.

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@MakeralRising Fact check me then. Read NS's climate plan (developed under Houston's government) which reduces GHGs substantially more than a Carbon Tax does. After that, we can talk.

[Brianna Faulkner @ItsBriFaulkner]

@Paddy_Anne Opt out of what exactly? It's not like I can hop on a subway, Paddy.
