On March 14th photo opp, Mark Carney signed a completely fake document to prove he is eliminating the Carbon Tax, a move he said would be a relief for "hard-pressed Canadians." Carney completely ignored the fact that Canadians are hard-pressed BECAUSE of the Carbon Tax he has promoted for nine years. He also appeared not to realize Canada's Prime Minister does not sign the required Order in Council document: the Governor General does. Staff who organized and approved the fake signing, including high-ranking experts like Gerald Butts and Katie Telford, either did not realize no such document for signing exists in Canada, or they are so in love with Donald Trump's successful "Executive Order Signing Photo Opps" that they just invented a Canadian version which carries no weight in law. Either way, it's a disturbing thought. Image: CPAC
