He actually has a point. Turdeau was great at making bullshit policies and regulations that were entirely impotent on goals.

Carbon tax just became pay to burn.

But Carney doing fuck all is not an alternative.

To be fair Trudeau also put caps on extraction.

Carbon Taxes will never work without a parallel system to reward cutting carbon though. You can’t just tax the externality without adding incentives on the other side of the equation. Unfortunately most people hate the idea of a Carbon Coin.
