As someone who supports the carbon rebate and thinks it's a good policy, I have to admit that Carney is right. Trudeau screwed up the implementation, and now a policy that gives most Canadians more money than they pay is a third rail.

Replacing the tax with something more acceptable, and equally effective seems like a good way forward.

His proposal actually seems pretty good. At this point, just taking away Polievre's fucking slogan is a win. Plus, I really love the idea of working more on the international angle, great way to get a lot of countries on board especially while trump is lurching about screaming tarrifs. He can trade with Russia, North Korea and other climate change denialists while the civilized world works together.

And of course, keeping the existing rules on large companies is a nice touch.
