Justin Trudeau To Give Carbon Tax Credit To Atlantic Canadians Still Without Power

Halifax - In the wake of Hurricane Fiona, which has destroyed dozens of homes and left many residents of the maritime provinces still without power, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has offered to give a one-time carbon tax credit for those residents still without power.

During his tour of the Atlantic provinces, the prime minister thanked all those still without power for doing their part in the battle against climate change.

“My fellow Canadians, on behalf of all of us, I want to thank you for your heroic effort in combating climate change,” Trudeau announced to the crowd through a battery operated megaphone, “By not using any electricity for almost a week, you have helped offset the damages of fossil fuel emissions.”

“As a thank you for your hard work,” the prime minister continued, “My government will be giving each resident still without power a one-time tax rebate of $32.”

Trudeau stated his hope was that by 2030 Canada would experience at least 10 devastating natural disasters each year that would destroy utility usage and force Canadians to not cause emissions.

The prime minister also said his government was also looking into a “water saving rebate” for indigenous communities that have never had clean water.
