carbon tax

Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is playing politics with people’s future, hours after she announced a plan to legally challenge the carbon price once more.

If the BC Greens end up with the balance of power in British Columbia and choose to support the NDP, they are likely to push hard on two main climate policy issues — the consumer carbon price and liquid natural gas expansion.

Our political leaders must either tax carbon “or” regulate technologies. They don’t have to do both.

Yves Giroux says today's report still finds the vast majority of households get back more in rebates than they pay through the carbon price — but once broader economic effects are factored in, those gains are wiped out for most, except for some lower-income earners.

The platform is the first to be released by a major party for the fall provincial election and includes an 18 per cent proposed tax for corporate profits over $1 billion, while there would be investments of $650 million annually in "municipal infrastructure to support new housing" and $250 million to expand child care.

With a federal election looming, Liberals are claiming the high ground on climate change and accusing the NDP of caving to Conservative disinformation. It's a clear preview of what's to come.

David Eby and Jagmeet Singh are trashing the single tax policy that, through its enforced neutrality, has actually put more money back in the hands of low-income voters.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is trying to topple the government with a non-confidence motion this week. It's unlikely to work, but is a clear preview into the intense political battle on the horizon.

The carbon price and rebates give most people more money back than they pay while cutting emissions and yet, the Liberal's signature climate policy is sinking their ship. Is there any saving it?

During a recent televised speech to his MPs, Poilievre spat out the carbon word more than twice per minute.

The Conservative Party of B.C. that didn't elect a single member in the last election and gained less than two per cent of the popular vote is now leading the charge for centre-right, anti-NDP voters.

This is apparently how the carbon tax ends in Canada: not with a bang but a surrender. Last week, B.C. Premier David Eby acknowledged his government wouldn’t maintain the province’s long-standing consumer carbon tax — one that predates the federal version by a decade — if a future federal government eliminates its own.

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.
