These people are all fuckign crazy, but that doesn't make their votes worth any less. I'll wait to see what the effect on the CPC's polling numbers are before passing judgement.
At $20 per tonne (compared to the Liberal's $170 per tonne), this is obviously a token tax to appease the crazies and prevent the Liberals then media from being able to say "The CPC would scrap the carbon tax!"
Doug Ford was elected in Ontario with a major promise of ending the carbon tax, apparently O'toole thinks he can win Ontario by going for a carbon tax that's named differently.
I just typed out an entire diatribe about securing your base before seeking now voters. Then in looking for the data to substantiate my argument, I discovered that somehow even a slim majority of Conservatives (59%) support the carbon tax.. Among Canadians in general, it's 79%.
