Because he depends on a job that relies on energy prices being competitive. We don't all sit in a government office doing absolutely nothing all day completely sheltered from all possible bad economical consequences & volatility like you flossy.

Flossy's pedigree is ODSP, not govt employee. I'm also not afraid of a carbon tax in the context he wishes to use. Which is his usual tact when he's cornered and looking stupid.
I simply know a carbon tax is not revenue neutral, as has been proven time and time again. That has an impact on a broad spectrum of people as you have pointed out. Flossy only cares about his monthly ODSP payment. People who actually work, actually care about how much money the govt will take from them.
