I agree with Pierre Poilievre: The next election should be about the carbon tax.

    Sure, and the carbon tax is widely recognized as the best and least expensive method of driving behavioral change and ghg emission reductions. It also has a progressive feature of being refunded back largely to the bottom 90% of households.

    I’ve heard Pierre’s argument on this and let me just say “nuh uh, hair man bad” is not convincing me.

      I think the carbon tax opposition is mostly a communication problem, because as you said most people actually receive money from this. It’s just sad to think it might disapperar after the next elections, because i feel like it is the one policy we have that actually works.

        Hell, I support the carbon tax, but I couldn’t tell you how much I’ve paid, how much I’ve received (well okay, I could look that up), or what the overall environmental impact has been.
