We have the two top contenders for the Liberal leadership Carney and Freeland planning to end the consumer carbon tax. Freeland being more explicit saying that there is no public support for the tax, which is hypocritical from the standpoint she has spent 9 years implementing, defending, ratcheting up the carbon tax. Plus you have Mark Carney who has spent years preaching net zero industries, E.S.G. Investing, climate change hysteria. Regardless the tax will be toast. What do supporters and perveyors of the climate emergency dogma do now?!?!

I wouldn't take it to that extreme. Just level the playing field and let unreliable energy compete to provide dispatchable energy the same as every other source does.
Society has wasted massive resources in constructing these white elephants, at least try to find a way to recapture some of that waste without passing the costs on to consumers and taxpayers as we do now.
Maybe every wind farm has to build or partner with a coal/gas generator and provide reliable dispatchable energy. Or, if storage is really as cheap as Chuck would want us to believe, they can install enough storage to make it reliable.
If it really is cheaper, then they will continue to be built by the private sector.

What will they replace the carbon tax with? HIgher gst, higher income tax, capital gains tax. There is currently a 60 billion deficit, how does eliminating a tax affect that. Not one politician talks about drastic spending cuts to get to a surplus. We are stuck with excessive taxes for years to try to fix this. Changing parties won't fix the problem. Massive spending cuts are needed. Accounting for where the money is going. Maybe Argentina is an example to watch.

What will PP's election slogan be now?
Wonder how much of CPC's election budget was spent on those placards?
They have all become so nauseating.
