France riots over green taxes
 

http://time.com/5462528/paris-police...rs-fuel-taxes/

Currently gasoline costs $7 US gallon. $4.20 US is taxes. Large portion is paid towards moving from a fossil fuel energy base.

Just saw the footage on TV. Crazy. Whole country shutting down. Road blocks everywhere.

are the yellow vest guys for Hire

Macron says that the fossil fuel taxes are necessary to fund Alternative Energy Research. Ha!

More like, those taxes are required to fund the invasion of France by outsiders.
No fossil fuel taxes are going to be spent on research and development.

Show me proof.

Wow... this will be us in a few years, except for the taxes, i think we are taxed enough on everyting!

Where does Canada rate on taxes compared to other countries? Going to guess near the top ?

Nice to see people protest the lies and stealing

Wake up canada, you're next!

Hard to answer that question, because taxation is complex.

But Federally, I think Canada does well. Google it and I think you’d be surprised

People that move here from other countries won’t be long going home.

Moved here from Germany, 50% of the paycheck went to the government and the VAT which is similar to GST was 19%, gas currently at $2.20/liter.
It can be worse.

Ouch!!!!!

There comes a point where the oppressed have to rebel. Some things are essential to life and have to be affordable.

Bank of Canada just announced it will start purchasing Canadian backed mortgage bonds..and no end to the fraudulent spending.

They just put our grandchildren children in debt...

Freedom comes at a cost..so does slavery..

That conversion works out to $2.46 (Can)/ Litre......

OUCH!!!!!

Is this a political thread?

No, it's a Survival Thread. :D

Country wants an excuse to lay around and make luv with thier faces.....France :scared0015:

Ok, in that case who gives a poop in France. They have two national sports, eating cheese and drinking wine. Neither one requires much driving.

It could be alot better too.

Yikes. Global warming tax protests turn violent in Paris

Glad I am not in Paris. Tourist areas are not safe.

That's how the French revolution started. :D Let them eat cake, similar kind of sentiment from Marie Antoinette.

at what point do Canadian citizens in Alberta start to riot?

They never will, to much fluoride and soy.

Not yet. Not enough pain yet. Albertans have high threshold for pain. Government is counting on this threshold. :angry3:

Sat what you want, but the French got it done somewhat, even if it is a temporary reprieve...

More than one way to skin a cat.

Nice to see French people taking a stand. Canadians could learn from them.....omg did i just say that????? Wow. But it’s true

Quote from the French PM on backing off on the tax increase.

No tax is worth the unity of the nation.

Justin, are you listening ? :D

There is a message here people, stand up for what you believe in, my hats off to them!

Our country will never be united.
Each part of the country wants to sell out the next part.
