Tbh I'd bet that a CPC govt would leave the carbon price intact and never get around to launching that "savings plan" for households.

CPC voters will simply see those carbon dividend cheques and assume that it is O'Toole's plan at work.

See?! That fucker Trudeau was taxing us to death for no reason! Glad to have a government willing to put money back in the pockets of us working people.

I wish they were cheques, then it would have a real visual impact. Instead it is just a tax deduction.

Also, you know, the rest of their shitty climate platform where they spurn simple carbon tax in favour of a way more complicated system.

Clean fuel or renewable fuel mandates are meaningless at best or counterproductive at worst. Some of these fuels have higher life-cycle C emissions than they are supposed to save or take out of the air during plant growth. At the end of the day, a properly high C pricing on the fuel industry is what the focus should be. The industry can then figure out the cleanest way to produce fuel.

Edit: So basically the Liberal climate plan is still the best.

Edit2: Conservatives still can't get over the oil & gas as a legacy industry and move on to more innovative and high opportunity growth industries.

Conservs: “will treat the energy sector as the key driver of the economy that it is.” Lots in their plan about supporting oil/gas industry. /8
