Not mentioned here is the internal pressure from the rank and file NDP who also hate the tax .
Or might want a second term ‘cuz they got elected for the first time in 2021 instead of 2019 and don’t get the Justin/Jagmeet switcheroo election date hanky-panky that slides many into pension eligibility that wouldn’t have earned it otherwise?

The MP’s fall under that but their supporters don’t and they write the checks and go to constituency meetings .

Too little too late if the NDP wish to not be the NDP/Liberals to Justin’s Liberal/NDP’ers. They’re connected at the hip.

Conventions be damned. The NDP have been in lockstep with the Liberals since before Putin invaded Ukraine for his three day war. Singh is locked in like two dogs after the rut with Trudeau due to this:
You know that whatever comes out’a Jagmeet’s mouth, his NDP/Liberals will back the Liberal/NDP no matter what crazy malarkey comes down the pipe from on high.

You are correct on both counts . But the caucus are still feeling the heat in their constituency.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently whipped out the big guns of rhetoric and said the premiers of Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan (I think he missed Manitoba?) are “misleading” Canadians and “not telling the truth” about the carbon tax. Also recently, a group of economists circulated a one-sided open letter extolling the virtues of carbon pricing.

Governments face the constant allure of diverting tax revenues to favour one constituency over another. In the case of the carbon tax, Quebec is the big winner here. Atlantic Canada was also recently won by having its home heating oil exempted from carbon pricing (while out in the frosty plains, those using natural gas heating will feel the tax’s pinch).

Guess those economists want to keep getting their drift from this government so they need to spew the same B.S. It's incredible that anyone would believe this scam!
