Remember Brian Mulroney's GST Tax. It costed the conservatives their government. The carbon tax will cost the Liberals their government.

Nobody care about the clean investment tax credits? Are you kidding me? Are you serious? The inflation reductions act already created more then 50 billion dollars in investments in the US. It is sucking investment away from Canada, and that is hurting our productivity and quality of life.
Canadian clean tech firms are moving south of the border at records numbers because of the IRA. Remember this is a trillion dollar industry.
You wonder why the US economy is booming, while the Canadian economy is shit? It's because the US has the IRA.
Unlike the GST, the carbon tax is unlikely to endure. I wish it would. But the argument on this has been lost.Remember Brian Mulroney's GST Tax. It costed the conservatives their government. The carbon tax will cost the Liberals their government.
The current $65 per tonne carbon tax adds 14 cents per liter of gasoline. It is scheduled to rise to 170 per tonne in 2030, which would be 37 cents per liter, so a 23 cent per liter increase over today.I think Justin Trudeau is going to step down by the end of the year. He has too. It is going to be because of the carbon tax. It is HUGELY unpopular. It also increases every year.
Canadians are not going to accept paying over $2/L for gas regardless of the rebates. What is next $3/L? They need to pause the increases or strap on policy. They will lose the election if they don't.

It I was the Federal government I was mandate all gas stations have electric vehicle charging stations.
The problem with the carbon tax is that it was designed for a world that doesn't exist. I think the Liberals thought everyone would start buying electric cars...that hasn't happened.
I look outside and the majority of people drive gas vehicles, I may see the odd Tesla...you see where I am going.
The carbon tax is going to stink the Liberals. Only 11% of Canadians support the carbon tax.
EV marketshare is up to 10% of new car sales. It's happening.

Canadians only see the gas prices going up, that don't see the rebates. It is not going to change behavior because we don't have the demand or infrastructure the support the vast use of electric vehicles.
