Carbon Tax In Theory

In simple terms, it’s like this: Canada trying to tackle environmental issues alone won’t make much of a difference. The problem of climate change is something that affects the whole world, and it needs everyone to work together to fix it. Making laws to reduce things like greenhouse gases isn’t solely the responsibility of either the national government or the local governments. The federal Liberals tried to make a law that would apply a kind of tax on things that harm the environment, like carbon emissions. This was meant to apply to the entire country, in theory. But because it’s a big, complicated issue, it’s causing a lot of trouble for regular folks like us here in Canada. Which is what has been happening for as long as I have been alive.

What’s Happening In Cottage Country On July 21/2023

Good Morning!

It is looking like our rain has ended here in Cottage Country, but it is still cloudy. We should see some sunny breaks off and on throughout the day, with a possible shower here and there. But after today things are looking real nice weather wise, with lots of sunshine returning to our area. And along with that, our temperatures are looking quite nice. Which is okay with my wife and I as we have some outside things to do.

Highway 522 is very quiet these days other than the locals moving around. There are a few tourists also taking in the sights that we have to offer.

Bug Report: No problems in that department these days. Things are nice.

On another note, I worked outside yesterday for most of the day getting an old trailer frame ready for a new floor and sides. Today if it doesn’t rain I should be able to make it look like something. But we will see how that works out, I plan my day, but I never plan the results. In doing so, I am never disappointed. I have found that it’s a good way to go through life.

With that I am off for a bagel that my lovely wife is making for me and will then head on out to my old woodworking shop and make some sawdust.

Have a great day! GW
