Wow! So much ignorance on one topic.

“I just listened to your latest episode, I am a regular listener and enjoy hearing various perspectives. But, at least two of your panelists could not have been more ignorant of the underlying reason for a government decision to remove the carbon tax from home heating fuel in Atlantic Canada.
Your panelists do not seem to grasp that this is not a choice issue for Atlantic Canadians, natural gas is not an option, it just isn’t available except in some parts of Halifax as a utility, so how does one heat their home?
Oil predominantly. Everyone knows it’s filthy. Everyone knows it’s exorbitantly expensive. However, for most people that was the only realistic option they had.
People are trying to convert to heat pumps for their own economic reasons. The government subsidized programs (federal and provincial) are very popular, over-subscribed really. At present here in NS we do not have the capacity to carry out the energy assessments and schedule an install within a reasonable period. One is probably looking at after the upcoming heating season. For some this is going to be a choice between food or heat, pretty easy to be crass when you’re not facing that prospect.
So, this looks to me like a government being forced by its backbenchers to accept reality; the program is a winner, there just isn’t the capacity so it will take longer to make the transition.
Yet what I heard this morning was two panelists who completely disregarded reality and tried to ascribe motives where even a smidgen of understanding or god forbid research into the out regions would have allowed them a better understanding of the issue regionally.”

“I used to love cbc now I force myself to listen to it just to hear what the political left is saying. I want to hear a balanced view on things. It’s unfortunate that cbc can’t better reflect the diverse views of the people who fund it.
When speaking of polarization, Andrew Coyne spoke of a...”Read full review »
