The Liberals have missed every emissions target but one in the year that the economy was entirely locked down. The Liberal government ranks 58th out of 63 in the world, and its own environment commissioner says it will not meet its emissions targets, yet the Liberals still go ahead with the carbon tax, which has proven not to work. They want to quadruple the tax, including on farmers, who have no other choice than to use traditional hydrocarbons to power their machinery, their barns and their drying.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053895\" data-originallang=\"en\">Once again, how much will the carbon tax cost the average Canadian farmer when the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> quadruples it?</p>",

Les lib\u00e9raux n'ont atteint aucun des objectifs qu'ils se sont fix\u00e9s en mati\u00e8re d'\u00e9missions, sauf un au cours de l'ann\u00e9e o\u00f9 l'\u00e9conomie a \u00e9t\u00e9 enti\u00e8rement suspendue. En fait, le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral se classe au 58<sup>e</sup> rang sur 63 pays. Son propre commissaire \u00e0 l'environnement affirme qu'il n'atteindra pas ses cibles en mati\u00e8re d'\u00e9missions, mais les lib\u00e9raux maintiennent le cap avec la taxe sur le carbone, qui s'est av\u00e9r\u00e9e inefficace. Ils cherchent \u00e0 quadrupler la taxe, y compris pour les agriculteurs, qui n'ont pas d'autre choix que d\u2019utiliser les hydrocarbures traditionnels pour faire fonctionner leurs machines, chauffer leurs granges et s\u00e9cher leurs grains.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053895\" data-originallang=\"en\">Encore une fois, combien la taxe sur le carbone co\u00fbtera-t-elle \u00e0 l'agriculteur canadien moyen lorsque le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> l'aura quadrupl\u00e9e?</p>"
