How We Figured This Out
Well, there you have it. Michael and Simone laid it out beautifully. If you’re wondering how we came up with this schedule—simple. We reviewed the Paris Agreement (2015), the Net-Zero by 2050 law, UN Agenda 2030 (specifically SDG 13), and Canada’s $170-per-tonne Carbon Tax Plan.
But that’s not all. We dug through dozens of policies, regulations, climate strategies, emission reduction frameworks, and ESG compliance models—both domestic and international. Most of them already had the rollout schedule baked in.
“This isn’t about emissions—it’s about submission. The carbon tax isn’t a policy, it’s a contract. And the people weren’t invited to sign it.”
Once you line them up—carbon pricing laws, international commitments, net-zero mandates, ESG enforcement policies, and green finance frameworks—and connect the dots with everything that’s been signed, passed, or pledged, the entire policy framework reveals itself. The plan becomes abundantly clear. And just in time, the next stage of the plan is falling into place—quietly, and right under our noses.
The Convenient Timing of a “Temporary” Prime Minister
Right on cue—now that the structure is in place—we suddenly have a temporary Prime Minister installed with deep ties to the World Economic Forum. Mark Carney held a prominent role at the WEF and has spent the last decade shaping global climate finance policy. Chrystia Freeland, once our Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, has now been quietly shuffled into two strategic new roles: Minister of Transport and Minister of Internal Trade. She also remains a sitting member on the WEF’s Board of Trustees.
And wouldn’t you know it? An election was just called this past Sunday.
One of the Election Promises: Scrap the Consumer Carbon Tax
It sounds good on paper. But the reality? They can’t.
Not unless they’re willing to rip up multiple international agreements, destroy investor confidence, and endure massive trade penalties from global partners. Over the past nine years, the Trudeau Liberals legally locked Canada into carbon pricing and net-zero compliance. These are not just political preferences. These are international, legally binding commitments—and walking away comes with a cost.
Why We’re Stuck
Canada’s carbon trap is the result of several overlapping agreements and laws:
- The Paris Agreement (2015) committed us to carbon pricing as a foundational tool.
- The Net-Zero by 2050 law made emissions reductions a legal obligation for future governments.
- UN Agenda 2030, specifically SDG 13, requires regular reporting and long-term compliance.
- And the $170-per-tonne Carbon Tax Plan, introduced by the Liberals, laid out pre-scheduled annual tax increases through 2030.
Unless a future Prime Minister—Carney or anyone else—withdraws Canada from these international frameworks, we’re stuck. And let’s be honest: Carney helped design the entire thing. He isn’t here to take it apart.
Carney’s Plan: Double Down, Not Back Down
Carney isn’t hiding his intentions. He’s already pushing to raise Canada’s corporate carbon tax from the current $65 per tonne to $160 per tonne—just enough to match the European Union’s shadow tax of $156. And that’s just the beginning. His long-term strategy is clear: implement separate corporate carbon taxation, push ESG compliance into every sector, and ensure that businesses toe the global climate line.
This isn’t about saving the environment. It’s about financial control. It’s about building a system where access to capital, investment, and growth is directly tied to political alignment with climate mandates.
The Carbon Tax Schedule: Locked In
Here’s the official, publicly documented carbon tax schedule that has been quietly unfolding since 2019:
- 2019: $20/tonne
- 2020: $30/tonne
- 2021: $40/tonne
- 2022: $50/tonne
- 2023: $65/tonne
- 2024: $80/tonne
- 2025: $95/tonne (planned)
- 2026: $110/tonne (planned)
- 2027: $125/tonne (planned)
- 2028: $140/tonne (planned)
- 2029: $155/tonne (planned)
- 2030: $170/tonne (planned)
This is not an estimate. This is the roadmap. It’s embedded in federal policy and tied to Canada’s net-zero laws.
No Easy Exit
If a future Prime Minister were to try and repeal the carbon tax without replacing it with something even more restrictive, the backlash would be swift and punishing. International institutions like the UN and EU would attack Canada’s credibility. ESG-driven investment firms would blacklist Canadian industries. Trade deals would be threatened or canceled. Financial institutions would turn off the taps.
In other words, without an exit strategy from the agreements themselves, Canada is cornered.
Who Is Mark Carney, Really?
Carney isn’t just another Liberal figure stepping into politics. He’s one of the top architects of the very trap we’re now in. His resume tells the story.
He was Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. He’s held a leading position at the World Economic Forum. He was appointed UN Special Envoy for Climate Finance. And he’s one of the key figures behind the development of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) scoring for corporations and financial institutions.
He’s spent years pushing for higher global carbon taxes, strict compliance rules for businesses, and the integration of climate metrics into every financial decision made by governments, banks, and private companies.
He even wrote a book outlining how achieving “net zero” would prevent future forest fires and climate disasters. Yes, really. That’s the pitch.
The Pause That Isn’t
Much has been made of the Liberals’ so-called “pause” on the consumer carbon tax for home heating oil. But let’s be clear—this was never about relief. It was a calculated political move to soften criticism without changing the structure of the tax system.
The pause is temporary. It only applies to certain heating sources. Everything else—gas, groceries, electricity, shipping—is still fully taxed. And worst of all, they can bring the tax back at any time. It’s a PR stunt, not a policy shift.
Let’s Call It What It Is
This entire idea of taxing people into poverty to “fix the weather” is one of the biggest scams of our generation. It’s not about environmental stewardship—it’s about control.
This is climate colonialism, plain and simple. It’s about consolidating power under the guise of science and progress. They’re not trying to save the planet. They’re trying to reshape society—from the top down—and use fear to keep the masses compliant.
Climate Change: Natural, Not New
Earth’s climate has always changed. Ice ages, warming periods, and volcanic winters are all part of the planet’s natural cycles. CO₂ levels have fluctuated dramatically for millions of years—long before oil rigs or gas furnaces ever existed.
And here’s a fact you won’t hear in mainstream coverage: trees love carbon dioxide. It’s literally their food. The planet was actually greener during warmer periods when CO₂ levels were higher.
What They’re Selling vs. What’s Really Happening
They want you to believe that paying more, owning less, and living in a 15-minute city is the answer. That giving up mobility, comfort, and independence is a noble sacrifice for the Earth.
But the truth is, this agenda shrinks the middle class while empowering those at the top. You pay the tax. Billionaires buy offsets. China keeps burning coal. And somehow—you’re the problem?
It’s nothing but manipulation.
The War on Personal Mobility
Personal mobility is freedom. And freedom is the one thing this system doesn’t want you to have.
They’re making gas unaffordable. They’re banning internal combustion engines. They’re pushing electric vehicles that rely on child labour and lithium mining halfway around the world. And they’re moving toward digital IDs and carbon scores that could soon dictate whether you’re allowed to travel at all.
They’re not stopping fires. They’re not stopping storms. They’re stopping you.
Real Climate Action, Real Solutions
If this were actually about protecting the planet, we’d be doing things that work.
We’d be funding rural fire departments. We’d be clearing deadwood and managing forests. We’d be bringing back Indigenous-controlled burns. We’d be investing in real prevention—not global carbon markets and green tech lobbyists.
But those ideas don’t line the pockets of global banks, ESG cronies, and climate czars like Carney.
Closing Out With A Final Word
This isn’t conspiracy. It’s policy. It’s published. It’s public. And it’s happening right now.
So here’s the challenge: go read it yourself. Fact-check everything. Use their own tools—AI, legal databases, international records. Start asking the right questions. Follow the money. Trace the connections.
Because as long as this article is, we’ve only scratched the surface.
The structure is set. The system is built. The tax hikes are scheduled. The control mechanisms are creeping in piece by piece. And now—right on schedule—comes an election.
So with this election coming up, watch carefully. Pay attention. Know the players.
Because many of them are not on your side.
They’re not on Team Canada.
