And the ONLY reason it's 48% is because @fordnation cancelled cap-and-trade, thus bringing on the carbon tax for 38% of the population.
That's right: if Ford hadn't done that, a full 86% of Canadians would NOT be affected by the JT carbon tax this year.

I didn’t even know that. Liberals should push their positives more!
-
The problem is not that the Liberals don't. It's that the current Conservative leadership lies a lot. And their followers don't want to admit it - they're prepared to accept the lies.
-
And the press, including our frigging public broadcaster, is busy helping the Conservative leadership flog their misinformation. With CTF's help, too.

Not getting the Carbon Tax over here in PEI either. Our gas dropped 5 cents to start the new year because our Government just cut the excise gas tax in preparation for the 4 cent increase we will receive in April.
-
I didn't know that! Thanks.
-
No worries. I'm fairly certain New Brunswick (the land of Irving oil) is the only Atlantic Canada province getting the Federal Carbon Tax because their plan was insufficient.
-
Yes, that's right. They are getting the backstop plan with attendant rebate cheques.

Assuming of course that transfer payments owed proceed as advertised fit those provinces who opt out of a ridiculous tax designed to fix. .....nothing ...
-
It does, though. It has in Norway, in BC, appears to be working in AB (early days yet). Nobel Prize etc. It's a myth that it doesn't work.

It likely will apply to Alberta by e-day as while Notley could be re-elected, odds are Kenney wins and he promises to scrap it. Now you are right about BC and Quebec however.
-
Well if AB is in trouble now, it will get worse without Notley
-
Hard to say, but I think it comes down to values. While slowly changing Alberta has long had a more individualistic political culture and wanted a less interventionist state which Kenney favours and not Notley.
-
As an older life-long Albertan, I can say it's also no longer a resilient, self-reliant, and innovative culture. It continually refuses to acknowledge the fact that you gotta have a plan B
-
That is though how a lot see themselves still. It'spretty unusual for the right wing vote to be less than 50% unlike other provinces so NDP would have a much better chance if right was still split.
-
True. Federally the Conservatives only get in because the centre/left is split between Lib, NDP, Green.
-
That is true federally although considering every other developed country has had a centre-right govt I suspect we would get one although it would probably only happen after Tories moved closer to the centre.

I think he's relying on the type of people who've been tweeting for the last year about 'Trudeau's Carbon Tax' already costing them money (before it existed) not noticing the difference.
