Never heard of splinter but I'm quite familiar with the author Justin Ling. You'll notice the various character assassinations in the article to understand that this is not journalism. Danielle smith being a former radio host doesn't have a great deal to do with carbon taxes.
I'm upset with this article because it misses the opportunity. He acknowledges that it's a matter of time before Canada quits all climate change efforts, but he gives up his opportunity to constructively repair.
>Poilievre is, for a variety of reasons including the climate backlash, riding high in the polls. Some surveys have him up by as many as 20 points. His lead exists despite, or perhaps because of his, his total lack of a climate policy.
The NDP and Liberal provincial entities are squarely against the carbon tax as well. A liberal premier just called Trudeau out for his ideological marriage to the tax.
Oil and byproducts are an inelastic priced commodity. A carbon tax will not adjust usage, it marginally raises prices on a product which is already over 100% taxed. Afterall road taxes come from there as well.
If you truly worry about carbon emissions and wish for reductions, this will do nothing at all to solve the problem. Hence why the provincial NDP and Liberals have come out against it as well.
To a climate change warrior, this carbon tax is the worst thing to be done. It's not helping the movement at all. It's only causing damage toward the movement.
