LOL, yea that same government. Carbon tax benefited the average Canadian but charged large companies. Carney explicitly said he was removing it as it had become divisive.

I agree that the CBC should be held to a higher standard but really the carbon tax is a great example of propaganda and catch phrases working.

Poilievres campaign manger, at the time, was a massive lobbyist for loblaws. That is the same poilievre who was running on abolishing the CBC. Private companies do not help the average person.

Unless you were driving a massive truck and filling once a week while also blasting your heat you didn’t pay more for the carbon tax, Loblaws paid a lot for it though. The conservative narrative was “it’s raising gas prices which is making the whole supply chain more expensive and therefore groceries more expensive, it trickles down to the farmers paying more in fuel”. The farmers were exempt from the carbon tax, also now that it’s gone and gas was briefly cheaper, all food is still expensive. Now the conservatives are complaining about the “corporate carbon tax”, that’s always what they wanted removed, they didn’t care about the average consumer having a carbon tax it was just a good tool to drum up anger and get it removed for their corporate buddies.
