Guilbeault astroturfs support for carbon tax cheques

As noted by Rebel News publisher Ezra Levant on X, Pistachio Cafe, where Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault promoted the Liberals' carbon tax cheques for small- and medium-sized businesses, received $2,100 in federal funding through the contentious summer jobs program.

A campaign-style social media video posted by Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault with the owners of Pistachio Cafe neglected to indicate the business received a previous $2,100 grant from the federal government.

The owners, identified only as Jen and James in the X post, toured Guilbeault around what he called their “little gem” in Gananoque, Quebec, while explaining how he would be giving back to small- and medium-sized businesses a mere pittance of what the feds extract in the form of carbon taxes annually.

From behind a massive Canadian government novelty cheque, Jen offered, “Thank you so much for being here and we are so excited to learn more about the rebate ... thank you so much, that's going to help a lot with bills.”

As noted on X by Rebel News publisher Ezra Levant, 1000069853 Ontario Inc, operating as Pistachio Cafe, received a $2,170 subsidy from the Canada Summer Jobs program, the contentious youth employment program that once required attestation to Liberal values before qualifying for a grant.

    Herman Goring would be proud of this propaganda ploy were he alive to see it. But bread and circuses only works when things are going well. The Liberals are steadily destroying the nation and they figure our genuine anger is just a fit of ill temper from consuming too much U.S. news. The next election can’t come too soon for me and millions of fed-up Canadians.
