Rattlesnakes. Not so common anymore, but they were at one point.

That’s already happened. Early on. Not different names for different regions, but that idea has already been implemented. It didn’t stick. Everyone’s still calls at the carbon tax or carbon taxes (plural) except the current government.

The political justifications for the exemption were obvious. Atlantic Canada only became subject to federal carbon pricing on July 1. Amid the noticeable spike in fuel prices that followed, Liberal support plummeted across the region — leading to a chorus of Liberal MPs warning that if something...

Which name? The name of the tax? Drop the word tax from the name of the tax? Call it a “charge” instead of a “tax”?? Perhaps a “Carbon Equity Charge” or something like that?

The motion by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to have Ottawa extend its carbon price pause to all forms of home heating has been defeated as the Bloc Québécois joined the Liberals to vote down the motion. It did not affect Quebec, so they voted it down? Have to keep that one in mind when I...

In order for Poilievre's proposal to be successful, he'll need the support of the Bloc Quebecois caucus, whose members during the debate repeatedly noted how the motion would have "no impact on Quebec" given the carbon tax is not in effect in that province. "What we get from this motion is that...

Almost exactly eight years after rebuilding the Liberals and winning government, Justin Trudeau looks like he could be done as party leader. http://apple.news/AA-44clk_TfuYGcXxab04PA Liberal-appointed Senator Percy Downe, who said in a new column that the Liberal Party is unelectable so long as...

Some mention of the “free” heat pumps… How will the Bloc Québécois vote today? On Monday, Bloc Québécois MPs will decide the fate of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s motion to exempt all fuel for home heating from the carbon price. The motion is non-binding but is significant because it...
