One of the first times I’ve ever believed anything he’s said.

Yes, lil PP, we know that you’d work against our treaty commitments, help burn the planet, and slash govt revenues in order to reward some oil execs.

If I were on Carney's comms team, I'd be giggling, high fiving and writing up attack lines for Carney to crucify him on this. The EU and UK are moving towards essentially having tarrifs for countries without industrial carbon pricing.

With the US being a dumpster fire, making it harder to trade with our actual allies is about as boneheaded a move as you can imagine.

I guess, from his perspective it's worth it so he can say "ax the tax."

Edit: Whoops, meant costs on countries without a carbon tax. Thanks Mongostein!

Did you mean without industrial carbon tax?

"There will be no taxes on Canadian consumers, no taxes on Canadian industries," Poilievre said on Monday at a news conference in L'Orignal, Ont.

At the same time, Poilievre said "provinces will continue to have the freedom to address" industrial emissions "how they like."

It seems almost laughably easy to use this to make him look weak and spineless?

It is almost like he is spineless.

Whew! Good thing they came up with that plan considering how many Axe tee-shirts he still has in stock.
