Donate?
At least we get something out of the oil and gas industry. What do we get from the 2.1 billion we donated to CBC? A whole lot of partisan opinion with zero integrity.
Taxrs shouldn't be going to failed government propagandist outlets.
Sure hope so as West needs help to modernize oil and gas’s industry and a few bucks for us poor folks in the East!
Our tax dollars should go to help other countries that are Liberal minded.
We need oil and gas we SAF don't need your CBC
No
She is pure honk honk
That's what Mr Kenney wants. He is always complaining about how Alberta Oil & Gas industry is suffering!! Most informative thing about Pandemic & War in Ukraine is that it is clear that Money & Power continues to take advantage of citizens of all countries! It must STOP!!!
No. AND they should clean up their own abandoned wells.
The IPCC’s timely alarmist scream is conveniently placed to counter the western world’s realization that not enough oil and gas are being produced.
Should government waste money on a propaganda laced news channel that no one watches like the CBC? Answer is a hard no
No
Our government has always used public funds to make the rich richer while cutting funding to critical public services!! Utterly disgusting 🤮
I dont even want my tax dollars going to $10 a day daycare for ppl that have kids who can’t afford to take care of them.. I wouldn’t buy a car if I couldn’t handle putting fuel in it every week, ppl shouldn’t have kids if they can’t afford to pay for their daycare.
I also read that they’re putting money into GM, boy that’s the wrong company to back for EVs. Has the government done any research before spending like that?
How about to people so we can have efficient homes and energy and clean water and in some places just water, if the North American drought gets bigger. Why should the tax paying people pay for cleaning up for the rich oil industry? One good reason?
Better than a battery factory, with all rare earth metals coming from China. Zero emission controls & China bought 90% of all rare earth metals to be used in batteries, and liberals shut down a Canada because we are dirty. LiberalHypocrisy
No! The government should spend all our money on non productive social justice and special interests!
No, invest in renewable energy.
Should governments donate your taxes to a booming housing industry?
If they want to fund new oil and gas projects, revoke a permit for an existing project to remove an equivalent amount of GHG emissions. We are in a climate emergency.
No
ColonelAngus17 Absolutely not.
They shouldn’t donate to cbc either.
Our tax dollars don't belong in any big companies hands. Period. If they can't wisely manage their business with the forethought of potential challenges then they're simply bad managers who only pursue the moment.
Would it be any worse than what they already do with it?
Analysis: Should taxpayers fund CBC
Doesn't Chrystia look like George Soros? lol
Zelensky looks like George Soros for sure 😂
What a stupid question cbcnews
Alberta ticked off they're not getting money for oil?
Should CBC stop shilling for billionaires? Yes. Obviously.
Yes. we have to rely on our own resources. Russia is out
Do they mean the new carbon taxes that have been added by the government?
I thought this was the CBCPitchbot
NO!!! Why the fuck would we want our tax dollars going into corporate pockets when we could invest in renewable energy This is both stupid and short-sighted.
How about not taxing people up the ass. Tax n this country is beyond fucked.
The government should not subsidize any sector. It should win on merit. They definitely should not be charitable with money they get from tax even to a poor country. That is the job of citizens bot the state.
The framing on this is almost Orwellian; a proposed temporary reduction of the gas taxes collected at the pump from consumers is “a donation of tax dollars to the oil & gas industry”? WTH?
No way!
Should our government donate more of our taxes to support a Puppet regime's war than it spends on our own defense and our veterans welfare? Canada
No, obviously not. Let’s donate in to Russian oil instead.
Yes! And we should spend billions more on state owned extraction and refining
We can produce clean energy but no carbon tax for all oil produced elsewhere!
I was hoping to survive to old age, actually.
Yes and then yes more please again. Moronic to try and shut down a viable resource that creates jobs. Until the government figures out what it’s doing. Communist Broadcasting Company.
A lowering of a tax or royalty is not a subsidy. Just isn't
No. Never.
Never!
Why should we give American corporations huge tax breaks for exploiting our natural resources, making the $Trillions and leaving us to clean up. I'm sick of kowtowing to Russian, American and OPEC interests, time to have alternatives and help Canada's interests.
Absolutely. We still need fossil fuels for the next 30 to 49 years. Might as well keep the money in house and then use the taxes proceeds to invest in renewable resources. At least that way we can monitor and focus only technology to reduce e emissions.
How about bailing out the shitty health systems in the provinces or actually doing something about the housing crisis in this country?
No. They should donate it to our Military and send actual troops to Ukraine and stop smiling and waving from a distance like cowards.
No. They should tax less overall.
..... And we're concerned about RussiaToday being 'state controlled media'.
Sorry, 'donate'? You mean invest, right CBC?
Nope
What about give my money to support addictions, like low alcohol beer, vaping and more. At least the oil industry provides jobs.
FrankM16 O &G have been getting bail outs and tax relief for decades. Even well clean ups are now being paid by Feds. Time they scrape the profits buckets and paid their own way. No other industry has had as much Govt support despite $$$$$$$ profits
Well they already have grants out for free I g up the oil industry, I think that’s intelligent, since it pays for most of Quebec
All corporate welfare should be abolished!
No
No they make enough money
NOPE!!!!!! 🤬
So oil & gas companies can’t apply for the same tax deductions as other businesses?!
Shut up cbc. What a terrible article Investing in Canadas most profitable and important industry is one thing, using our tax dollars for BS pet projects is another
What happen to everything electric they should invest in green energy and save our planet or save our climate
Keep Voting these lying clowns in. 1. I support renewable technology but it won't happen tomorrow. 2. I support being using Canadian oil INSTEAD of Russian and Saudi Oil. 3. The government shouldn't be stuffing media company wallets with our money. 4. Liberals corrupt as hell
Why not, at least it’s toward Canadian jobs. They give more than that away to other countries and unneeded crap .
That's pretty rich coming from a 1.5 Billion-year freeloader❗️DefundCBC
Could make it worse? Absolutely will make it worse! At least the truth is here Although it is still couched in words that downplay the severity of this betrayal
What the fuck lmao how is this real
No
They can use the gas taxes they collect already to do that, yes. We need gas to run our vehicles. What they can do is shut down the bottled water industry, which makes no environmental sense at all. cathmckenna did nothing about it. cdnpoli
No tax dollars should go to any corporation that makes billions in profit and pays its ceos in the 10 of millions.
Yes
Should government donate our taxes to same fucking difference
If Government is subsidizing the oil industry it needs to stop charging us Carbon Tax now and I've every Canadian a retroactive rebate!
Should CBC bait their readers?
I assumed this was a CBC PItchbot post but nope, it’s real. Sigh.
When did the CBC become satire?
They’ve done it for years!!!
Can't complain about one and not the other. Nobody bats an eye when it's the auto sector.
Coulda, woulda, ifso...come on . Report the news instead of all this hypothetical, option b.s.
I hope the Canadian economy hits rock bottom and doesn't recover for a long time, then everybody will think twice before voting Liberal
They donate taxpayers dollars to the CBC and make zero money from it. Why not oil and gas?
Absolutely NOT!
Now ain’t that magical, boost oil industry and slow down climate change !
....or lend your hard earned tax dollars to Green ESG projects environmentca EurasiaGroup RosieBarton SeamusORegan
NO
No . Next question
has moved into the analysis business. Analysis, is a made up thing by journalists to allow them to write opinion pieces without stating its an editorial/opinion. The CBC is funded by the public and should stay out of disguised op/eds. Provide news, that is your job.
No no and no
No
No
What a stupid question. How about” should taxes from oil and gas be used to prop up social programs in Quebec?”
Gloom and dome, holy S~~~, we are so absorbed in our selfish selves .
Oh CBC…with your Liberal agenda.
Stop the corporate welfare and let them fend for themselves.
No, they shouldn't subsidize any profitable companies.
Is this The Onion?
No
If it's booming why would they need tax dollars? Analysis
Yes
What a bizarre and nonsensical Q. The CBC needs to be torn down and rebuilt. We desperately need a national broadcaster right now and we simply don't have one. Barbara Frum is rolling over in her grave. This is the kind of fraudulent question she would have surgically dissected.
we're on the brink of no return, with the world,,, let's put that good money into things that will help us all,,,
People don’t realize that the subsidies they receive are going into to CO2 emissions R&D so that they can help become carbon neutral by 2050 while providing energy that Canadians NEED.
The CBC well let's talk about where and who should receive my tax dollars or why Canadians pay a carbon tax that has had no affect on the amount of emmissions or consumption of fossil fuels . Like covid you better get used to climate change because it is out of your control.
Fuck no. Put it towards renewable energy and the EV market.
Yes, it’s good for shareholders and profits.
Noooooo
Typical CBC crap. We have the most ethical Oil and Gas extraction in the world. We will need Oil and Gas for decades. So how is buying it from those who are less ethical with means of extraction better for the environment
CBC is the official propaganda machine for our Ledtist/socialist coalition government's plan to cripple our economy and wean us onto tax dollar handouts
Well, it's better than 'donating' my money to lazy parasites who sit on their butts all day and refuse to work.
What kind of fear and misinformation are you spreading
Yes, we cannot afford to ignore the food on the plate, else we will starve. We need the oil and gas industry to help us survive the economic downturn coming, and if not careful, we could end up in a recession as was in the early 80s combined with inflation rates in the high teens
No, instead government should support ALL “new” homes built should include a climate friendly power source such as solar or wind. Stand alone systems could be installed in every “newly” built home much like the required air exchange systems now required.
No! A million times no!
Folks.... This corporate welfare has got to stop... Especially supporting the record profit generating burning dinosaur kind.
I had to double check that this wasn’t CBCPitchbot
NO…!
No
FCK NO!! We get NONE of the perks!!
You can support the nuclear movement in Saskatchewan ForumEnergyMC DenisonMinesCo BaselodeE enCoreEnergy_EU with my tax dollars
cmusician Is the cbc going to stop being a climate denialist newsroom if the government changes? Is it just bowing to Trudeau? Is it just going along to get along? Because their climate denial is harming your children, our country and the world. canpoli
That's such an awesome way to frame it... you guys suck.
Not anymore! Billions have been provided for way too long! Time to put this dinosaur to bed!
Does this industry contribute to the Canadian economy? Does the fake green renewables sector contribute to the Canadian economy? No Leave Oil and Gas alone or import oil from countries with human rights violations like Saudi Arabia who set the record the other day for executions
$18 billion of our tax dollars already go towards fossil fuel companies. YEARLY. Not only that, Canadians only get 10% of fossil fuel royalties even though it's our own natural resource! Norway gets over 70%! We're being sold out and our leaders keep maintaining this.
No ... they should get out of the way and stop blocking production and delivery of energy
Hell no. No more money to companies responsible for crimes against humanity
Donate? Lmao, who approves that
CBC again demonstrating they moved on from actual objective journalism long ago
As compared to donating them to the CBC...for sure.
No
Government wastes money. It doesn't do anything else. It would be better for the public to spend it's money as then at least there would be accountability.
NO
I am sure Trudeau has some good friends he will give our taxes to
I can’t believe this headline isn’t satirical, especially in light of recent reports on climate change
They should donate majority of their budget to universal income. I’m gonna run for PM pretty soon after I learn how to argue with politicians, cuz I believe the only way for the world to heal as a whole is to give out freely what we all struggle to obtain…. Cash!
This government drove real Canadians into the dirt and they continue to do so while they line their pockets!! Rich keep getting richer!! Funny how that works.. all of government are Failures! Sad days ahead for all hard working Canadians!! Good luck Canada
I mean they donated 600 million tax dollars to create biased canadian media that shelters the Sultan of Sleaze from the news constantly, so why not invest it in oil?
NO. So they can bank billions every year hand out bonuses in the 10's of millions to a handful of CEO's and lets not forget the shareholders without them a lowly worker might get to retire and play with the grandchildren but they drive the need for profit and you will pay.
Given a choice between 'the destruction of human civilization as we know it' and 'slightly higher gas prices,' provincial governments are all in on hastening ecological collapse.
Heck no.
Wow agenda much?
Are Tax dollars are donated to CBC so why not!?!
No, thank you.
The only way is if they pay it back. Make it a loan with interest rates.
I’d rather that then dolling it out to eco- terrorists or giving it to despotic regimes abroad.
If they have any money left after bailing out Air Canada and Bombardier...
Whose question is this?!Whoever it is needs to go to school. Does CBC hire idiots off the street, or do they get paid by their RW funders to ask such idiotic questions? This is same as Russian provotskiya. Shame on you CBC. SICK. CBCAlerts CBCKatie DFriesenGlobal
If we are paying then we should have some equity and return on investment
More CBC click bait defundCBC
Why government uses our tax money to help/bail out big corporations? We work so hard and pay so much tax for helping out rich corporations 😔😔
We have been subsidizing O&G heavily for years. This is why it’s so hard to compete with artificially cheap O&G
That's a hard no. We're supposed to be moving AWAY from fossil fuels.
I thought cons don’t like welfare?
The Canadian government is talking out both sides of its face: 'promoting' climate change action (without any real science-based plan) but writing cheques to the oil patch, including approving new oil drilling off Newfoundland yesterday. Unacceptable.
Careful CBC, you're going to make CBCPitchbot redundant.
Donate… interesting choice of words. Kind of how they donate to the CBC’s budget? bebetter
Corporate welfare. No.
Should government impose a carbon tax on middle class people who are already taxed highest in North America? Should people pay the highest gas, electricity and petrol bills in the continent? Is this woke government that is completely divorced from reality, good for Canada?
No. Also isn't that lady a Nazi sympathizer, like her Grandfather. I thought that's bad. Why is there a place for that in any government?
No, never, period.
More to bombardier, that has worked wonders for decades 🤣
Liberals have no idea what they’re doing.
No
No
Sure beats funding the CBC...
No.
