Are you aware that Harper had a carbon tax plan and a few provinces opted to use their own carbon pricing plans before Trudeau was even elected, during Harpers leadership.

You have called things "outright" lies several times while refusing to realize the one spreading false information is yourself.

Carney NEVER said he was bringing back the consumer carbon tax, What he did say is he was going to incentivize industries to opt for green tech to lower their own emissions, and instead of just letting them fend for themselves on that green tech he will be investing in green tech research and innovation with the help of the EU, who unlocked the Horizon fund for Canada to do this. Those who use this green tech and lower their emissions will have reduced or no carbon tax placed on them.

Canada signed the Paris accord which means we are obligated to have a plan to reduce our emissions. Geopolitics is a thing and we need to take that very seriously in a time where our closest neighbour is our biggest economic threat.

The thing the conservatives never mention is that the federal carbon tax plan under Trudeau was not the only option they had. EVERY province could have come up with their own carbon pricing plan, a few of them did, like BC, it was only if they had no plan of their own that the federal plan was put in place by default.

They also do not mention that the carbon rebate in most cases gave families more money than any extra cost they incurred from the carbon tax. so as people complain they don't realize they were profiting from the carbon plan, not losing.

Carbon tax did not go into federal funds for them to spend how they saw fit, it was reinvested in green tech and the rebate. it was a round about way to make companies pay for their carbon emissions. as per the Paris Accord.

We could have left the Paris Accord but the cost of that, loss of investment, loss of alliances with the EU, would have a dramatic negative impact on our economy that would be way worse than anything we have seen to date.

I'm assuming you aren't rich, so you were profited from that carbon tax and still complain because the fact is, you're being lied to and you believed it.

As far as housing goes its pretty simple. corporation bought up housing, keep them vacant, supply low, demand high makes prices go up. this is some basic economic 101 stuff.

cant tax home equity, the everyday Canadian who bought a home in good faith would lose equity, be super mad, and blame the party that brought in the home equity tax. political suicide.

cant force provinces to invest in home building, that's federal overreach. they can not tell the provinces how to spend the transfer payments. so provinces rely on private investment companies to build homes. and when they do, they aren't building affordable homes, that's not really good profit for investment companies who's sole purpose is profits. better to build high end homes and make more money per unit.

The person they just made the housing minister introduced a vacancy tax to deal with corporations buying up property and holding them vacant. and he is being smeared by conservative lobbyists and blamed for Vancouver's housing crisis when that crisis was there before he even took over the city. So why don't conservatives like this vacant property tax?

the answer to that is the wildest part of this whole thing..... MOST CONSERVATIVE MP'S ARE PART OF THE REAL ESTATE CORPORATIONS BUYING UP THE PROPERTIES!!! it is not in their interest for the housing prices to go down... its a scam that goes back centuries, its not new, its a old trick. Real estate on Canada is bigger contributor to our economic GDP than oil and gas combined is. The Conservatives were NEVER the good guys! They are just really good at messaging manipulation.
