I know Canadians polled said they want a carbon tax, but I feel like this isn't an issue the CPC was particularly vulnerable on. I mean what's the Liberal attack there? "Erin O'Toole is going to steal LESS of your paycheck than we do!"?
I like to know how many votes they think they picked up by embracing a carbon tax vs how many they lost by doubling back on one of their most notable promises. I'd be really surprised if this netted them votes.
More than that. First, it damages O'Toole's credibility and second they can attack him on the carbon saving account which can be only used for government approved purchases. With the current Liberal carbon tax you can use the money you get back through CAI payments as you wish.

'Government approved purchases'. Fuck off O Toole, i am not letting you give me a 'rebate' that i can only spend on your donors and buddies.
