“Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will introduce a non-confidence motion Wednesday designed to topple the government and trigger a federal election — a parliamentary manoeuvre that’s likely to fail.”
Not really, though. His main purpose is to keep both the carbon tax and his own name in the headlines, so I guess he succeeded.
It will also let him say his party voted to axe the tax, while the NDP, Liberals, and Bloc either vote for it, or abstain. It’s a purity test the other MPs are designed to fail.
“We’ll get rid of this tax!”
“Won’t that mean less money in the pockets of the majority, making things worse for them?”
“😡”
Not if they cut funding to things like healthcare, infrastructure, science, education, etc. and give more money to corporations who donate to their political party.
We’re talking about the carbon tax, what’s collected in your province (except for BC and Quebec) is redistributed directly to the people in the province based on their household situation (with or without spouse, with or without child…), it doesn’t affect the government’s coffers and a small minority gets less than they pay.

I guess I went to school longer than most conservatives!

Step 1: Add a tax
Step 2: Redistribute the money collected directly to the people based on their situation
Step 3: Watch conservatives get mad even though the vast majority of people get more than it cost them

Alberta just banned solar and wind farms because they are ‘ugly’ then opened a new coal mine. They deserve some more taxes.
That’s cute. Why is home heating fuel in the east not taxed?
No money is moving from Saskatchewan to Newfoundland via this carbon pricing model.
Who suggested to you that it was? I’m worried someone is lying to you to sway your opinion.
The money collected by the carbon pricing program stays in that province and is redistributed to the citizens of that province.
Would you like to expand on your views or just stick to pointless ad hominems?
Hmm…odd, that comment wasn’t an ad hominem, it was pointing out how the federal tax actually works by region.
