This dingus just called the NDP and Bloc childish names and then asked them to join the #CPC in their vote of non-confidence.

The carbon tax increase on April 1st is $0.03/L
— NoGunsInCanada π¨π¦ πΊπ¦π§ (@NoGunsInCanada) March 17, 2024
Danielle Smith just added a $0.13 provincial tax on fuel and nobody said anything.
That's almost 4.5 times higher than Ottawa's increase.
Today in the Globe and Mail, journalist Andrew Coyne sums up the situation - On the carbon tax, the Opposition’s cynicism neatly coincides with the public’s:A cute little political show designed by "common sense" big oil lobbyists who'd rather have an election now than ensure Canadians obtain Pharmacare and a livable planet down the road.

Too bad the Oscars season is over, @PierrePoilievre. #canpolihttps://t.co/FP6m4mmFxa
I'm not sure why Poilievre is so anxious to fight an election -- he's just not ready:The Liberals won three elections on a promise of taking action on climate change, which had become equated with the carbon tax. Many people concluded this meant the public wanted action on climate change, and were willing to pay the carbon tax.But Mr. Poilievre saw through the public. He understood that the public are deeply, almost perversely, hypocritical on this as on most things: they want something done about the climate but they want someone else to pay for it. Or, perhaps: they are prepared to pay for it, if they have to, but they want to be lied to about it.They want to pretend that a tax that applies only to “the big polluters” would not be passed on to them, or that they would not also pay the costs of whatever regulations and subsidy schemes Mr. Poilievre eventually proposes, if he does. They know it is a lie. They know that nothing is free. They just don’t want to have it rubbed in their faces. Which is more or less the point of a carbon tax.
What is truly serious is that Poilievre can’t think on his feet, has no sense of humour and cannot laugh at himself. All problematic for us. We know what happened in US when a person with similar traits took power.

Here's the thing. I love this show. Watch it all the time. Every politician who has ever been on it has had the good grace to laugh at themselves. With Mr. Poilievre, not a fucking chance.

Libs. Start fighting back. Drop the rebate argument. Go straight to climate, cost of fires floods, lost crops. A simple slogan will do it. On climate: better to do something even if a partial solution than doing nothing.
Thanks, John - yes, I agree we need to fight back!
Agree. The cost of fires is huge. We might want to remind people that carbon contributes to these fires and it costs hundreds of millions to fight them each year. If we didn't have to deal with fire and floods due to all that carbon we might be able to lower taxes or spend the tax money on something we need, like schools, housing, medical facilities.
