Carney kills consumer carbon tax in first move as prime minister

Both establishment parties are MANIPULATING you and LYING to you about getting rid of the carbon tax.

Carney’s first move as prime minister was to suspend the collection of the tax, but that was just a gimmick.

He recognized that the carbon tax was unpopular, and has said he will replace it with other measures.

These will be added to the 100 taxes, regulations, subsidies, and programs adopted under Trudeau to fight climate change (according to former Environment minister Steven Guilbeault).

Carney is obsessed with climate change and was until recently the UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance.

He clearly plans to burden our economy with more climate change nonsense – which you will also be paying for of course, but indirectly.

For his part, Poilievre’s manipulations and lies are sneakier.

He just can’t let go of his carbon talk slogan, even after Carney announced it’s gone.

He says we can’t trust him, that the carbon tax law is still on the books, and that Carney will reinstate the tax if he wins the next election.

That doesn’t make any sense.

Carney doesn’t need to do this, he would be foolish to do it, and no one will believe that.

So why does Poilievre insist on continuing to talk about the carbon tax when it’s gone, instead of attacking the other measures that will replace it?

Here’s why: It’s because he doesn’t want to talk about these 100 other measures!

Poilievre has said before that he is not proposing to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.

He has never explained how he would fulfill Canada’s obligations under that agreement to reach our carbon emissions reduction targets, apart from vague promises to promote green technologies and carbon capture.

He has also never said that he would repeal these 100 other measures adopted by the Liberal government.

He doesn’t want to bring attention to these measures and explain why he plans to keep them.

He doesn’t want us to know that with the carbon tax gone, HE AND CARNEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME CLIMATE CHANGE PLAN!

That’s why he bizarrely clings to his carbon tax rhetoric and tries to convince us this is still a major policy difference between the Liberals and the fake Conservatives.
