Will Justin Trudeau’s Carbon Taxes Unleash a Yellow Vest Ascendancy in Canada?

By Shane Trejo

Globalist politicians are becoming bolder as their power slips away, and the yellow vest movement is spreading as a result.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is following in French President Emmanuel Macron’s footsteps by instituting Draconian carbon taxes on his people to supposedly combat climate change.

Trudeau is punishing four provinces that refused his push for higher taxation. He is imposing a tax of C$20 ($15) per ton, increasing by C$10 a year until it ultimately reaches C$50 in 2022. The tax will apply in the provinces of Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick.

“As of today, it’s no longer free to pollute anywhere in Canada,” wrote Trudeau’s environment minister, Catherine McKenna, in a tweet.

“Climate change is real … some politicians may not care much, but our kids and our grandkids do,” she added.

Trudeau’s Conservative Party opposition is vowing to fight the imposition of this carbon tax in the courts.

“We’re going to keep fighting this carbon tax with every single tool at our disposal,” Ontario premier Doug Ford said.

“We now have four provinces representing half the population in this nation that say this is a flawed policy,” said Scott Moe, the premier of Saskatchewan, to the CBC.

Trudeau may have more to worry about than institutional push-back in the courts and legislatures. When French President Emmanuel Macron dictated crippling carbon taxes upon his people last year, they began taking to the streets wearing yellow vests to show their ruling elite who is really in control.
