Susan Holt said her government would remove the province's four-cent-a-litre gas tax and then submit to Ottawa a "made in New Brunswick climate plan."

Canadians are set to receive carbon pricing rebates on Tuesday, as the Liberals defend one of their most embattled policies.

The Liberals have accused the Conservatives of dismissing the expertise of more than 200 economists who wrote a letter earlier this year describing the carbon price as the least expensive, most efficient way to lower emissions.

Of the 1,500 policies in 41 countries, researchers found only a small fraction actually had impact — and usually as part of a larger strategy that included multiple angles of attack.

The second instalment of this year's national carbon price rebate will be deposited or mailed out to millions of households today.

The “axe the carbon tax” chants are back. This time the claim is that it has driven Canada’s gasoline taxes too high. Does the data support the claim? Barry Saxifrage takes a look at the numbers.

If we're serious about warding off the oncoming climate catastrophe, it will take a swift and highly disruptive overhaul to our way of living.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau knows his defence against Conservative attacks over his signature climate policy isn't working, at least not yet.
