In Atlantic Canada, where the Liberals have dominated to different degrees in the past three elections, the government's major climate policy plank, carbon pricing, is a bust.

You're viewing a single thread.
Carbon pricing in Canada is revenue neutral and, because both industry and consumers pay into it but only consumers get the refund, virtually everyone gets back more than they put in. But almost no one knows that and people don’t like seeing higher numbers at the pump.
Where have they been on messaging about this? Conservatives have been hammering away and Liberals have been silent. I think when people see how the policy works, there’s a lot to like.
Justin Trudeau also didn't force anyone into a commuter F150. The number of people blaming Trudeau for their shitty choice in gas guzzler is too high.
Yes. I also wish people understood what a negative externality was. Trucks produce a ton of costs that society has to pay for. Without something like carbon pricing, big truck drivers are subsidized by cyclists. That makes no sense.
Alberta disliked that
I know the program is different from province to province but the criteria to qualify in BC absolutely sucks. Two people working full time on minimum wage with or without a child don’t even qualify for a full credit. Literally only the lowest earners or those on disability or the like get all of it.
