How carbon tax works. Follow me on my adventure…
Pretend there are 5 people living in Canada and this is what they make annually:
Gertrude: $500,000
William: $400,000
Suzy: $50,000
Spencer: $40,000
Dwight: $30,000
Gertrude and William own all the stores and sell grocery, clothes and industrial supplies to Suzy, Spencer and Dwight.
This is what these 5 will pay in Carbon Tax:
Gertrude: $5000
William: $4,000
Suzy: $800
Spencer: $600
Dwight: $500
This is will be their ‘rebates’:
Gertrude: $0
William: $0
Suzy: $850
Spencer: $630
Dwight: $520
Suzy, Spencer and Dwight love the carbon tax. They got more money back than they paid (so they think). It’s like a lottery. Super awesome.
Gertrude and William got screwed.
The Supreme Emperor who invented the carbon tax, doesn’t care about Gertrude and William though. He just needs the support of the other three to stay in power.
The Supreme Emperor also knows that like him, Suzy, Spencer and Dwight aren’t very good at math and can’t figure out that their entire cost of living has increased, because Gertrude and William just raised the price of everything because the Carbon Tax made their cost of doing business more expensive. Because they pay more carbon tax and don’t get a rebate.
Suzy, Spencer and Dwight keep voting for the Supreme Emperor, because they like ‘free money’.
Gertrude and William vote to have the Supreme Emperor removed from power and Suzy, Spenser and Dwight get upset. They don’t understand why Gertrude and William despise the Supreme Emperor who gives out free money like candy.
The thing is… Suzy, Spenser and Dwight don’t even know that Gertrude and William don’t get a rebate and had to increase prices on everything, because they only watch CBC.
The End.
It's been a day filled with inspiring stories, hope, and a few tears. Amazing to see a team of young leaders @LordDorchester and dedicated staff, custodians and student volunteers making this year's #RelayForLife such a great success. Congratulations to all involved!
Today is #BellLetsTalk Day! One of the ways we can all take action is to learn about mental health organizations creating positive change for mental health in Canada…every day.

A Blue Whale was spotted off the coast of Vancouver Island yesterday. The largest animal to ever grace this planet. The largest dinosaur weighed around 85 tons. Some male Blue Whales weigh as much as 200 tons. A Blue Whale's heart is 6 feet wide and weighs 400 lbs.
78 years ago, Canadians were part of D Day. More than 14,000 Canadians landed or parachuted into France. By the end of the Battle of Normandy the Allies had over 200,000 casualties, with the more than 18,700 Canadians killed or wounded. Lest we forget.
You don’t have to struggle in silence. No one needs to face their problems alone. It’s #BellLetsTalk Day, text, call or tweet to support mental health. Remember that things can only get better. #BellLetsTalk
