On this episode of Talk Truth, we discuss how carbon tax is financially punishing citizens for things like heating their homes and driving to work, and warn that it will triple in the next seven years. We argue how the tax is a deliberate attempt to phase out oil and gas in Canada and taxpayers cannot afford the cost of shutting down industries related to fossil fuels. The conversation then shifts to the CBC and their $1.2 billion per year in government funding. We also discuss the rise of a new generation of journalists who are interested in "old school" journalism and objective reporting, while also expressing concern about media funding compromising independence and accountability.
