THE CYCLE OF A CONSERVATIVE LIE:
1. Conservative distorts & lies about a Liberal discussion as if it were policy.
2. The Lie is repeated by CPC pundits/lobbyist/Internet Trolls and Bots.
3. CPC communications team repeat the lie as much as possible because repetition equals truth - right, Donald Trump? 4. Conservative candidates promote lie as though it were real. 5. Postmedia reports the lie as fact. People fail to grasp that Postmedia is a major donor to the Conservative Party of Canada so they believe it.
Can you give me an example, Gary?
The latest one, and indeed too many of them, come from Conservative internet troll (or Bot, frankly it's hard to tell them apart these days) Michael Diamond (Twitter: @mtmdiamond)
The truth is that an attendee at a townhall meeting where Adam Vaughan was at, suggested the above for the first year after a house in Vancouver sold, to discourage flipping.
The suggestion by the attendee was that the amount would decrease to the current amount a bit each year and that way the market would cool because there'd be less speculation. This was not a Liberal creation but has been discussed in overheated markets like Vancouver for years.
Adam Vaughan submitted his report on what was discussed at the townhall meeting he attended and it included that someone had made that suggestion because Adam wanted to remain accurate.
The idea never made it further. It was never seriously discussed by the Liberal Party or the Government. It went no where beyond someone attending the townhall and the paper on it.
But because Adam is a Liberal, and because he wrote it down and filed it, the Conservatives are trying to make you believe that it's not only a Liberal idea but is or will be policy if the Liberals are re-elected. The actual plan that came from these town meetings is here:

AND Conservatives (whose numbers are starting to wane by the way) are desperately spreading these lies about the Carbon Tax (it'll go up 200% if Justin is re-elected!), and a dozen other things because it's their only hope of forming Government.
It makes as much sense as the claim the Trudeau Liberals are bringing in Sharia Law or that Obama came for people's guns. It didn't happen, it won't happen, it's not true. It's just another Neo-Con scare tactic, or as some have come to call them now - more Scheermongering.
